Henry VIII’s flagship Mary Rose was so totally queer. Mary Rose Museum mocked by historians for an online exhibition “Queering the Mary Rose” that tries to link artefacts recovered from the wreck to LGBTQ stories with zero evidence.

Holy fuck that’s tasteless, classless, and offensive. And they cry and throw tantrums because us normal people are getting sicker and sicker of anything “queer” or trans. I really feel for the regular ass gays and lesbians who keep being used as a shield for these fucking freaks and perverts.

It's really disrespectful. The Vasa museum has some of the bodies there and speculates about a few things but it's more along the lines of potential relationships (We suspect this child is related to this other person on board) and how many bodies there are (between 17 and 19). The most speculation they have is that the skeleton they have called Johan may be the captain (Hans Jonsson) but they admit they can't prove it.

The idea that you'd go there's a comb, see how gay they are would really annoy me there.

Are the bodies from the Mary Rose or a different ship?

They're from the Vasa. Should have been more clear. Just thought it was an interesting contrast with how it was done.
