As far as I know Dolly was cishet, and Tim never publicly discussed his gender or sexuality, but every single queer person I've ever known enthusiastically embraced both of them as family. And I think that's a special kind of beauty.
so something that's at least kinda tempering w/the passing of tim AND dolly within a day of each other is that like, we're all just talking about how much we loved both of them and sharing fun anecdotes. both lived such full lives and meant the world to so many people and that's beautiful
