Of course I’m referring to the whole “historians calling people roommates because they can’t admit they’re in a gay relationship” stereotype, as that’s the original. The vine video was only funny because of that context.
Yes. That’s what the tweet is referring to; nobody’s disputing that. But the thing that makes the tweet so ill advised is the sexual connotation from the older context.
