Thanks for this. As a bi man who shares most of the biographical points you mention about Williams, though with fewer wives, I appreciate the insight and comment. Since becoming public about my bisexuality over the course of the past few years (which is to say, public if asked or if it feels pertinent for me to volunteer the information I guess?) I've had a lot of thoughts about being assumed straight and how that gives me the privilege of avoiding most of the negative stigma and social knock-on effects associated with visible queerness, but also raises questions about honest presentation and access to solidarity, etc. It's a big tangle but I appreciate each new angle you bring on it!
