Know Your Bisexual History Spooky Edition: Mary Shelley was just 20 years old when dared by her good friend Lord Byron, wrote her literary masterpiece "Frankenstein", it remains a work of genius that can still horrify readers with the depths of man’s depravity and pursuit of knowledge at all costs. It is also a novel that places love, and the desire for love in its absence, at the heart of life. For this, and many other reasons, Shelley has become an idol for those whose souls search for belonging in dark times.

After all, this is the woman said to have married her lover, Percy Bysshe Shelley, after losing her virginity to him at the graveside of her mother. And then, after he drowned in a storm in 1822, carried his calcified heart – the only thing to survive his cremation – with her, wrapped in a silk shroud, until her death in 1851. (It was found in her desk, wrapped in the pages of one of his last poems.)

Shelley was bisexual. Writing to her close friend Edward Trelawny in 1835, Shelley recalled the years of loneliness and longing that followed Percy’s death, saying: “I was so ready to give myself away – and being afraid of men, I was apt to get tousy-mousy for women.” Jonathon Green, one of the most important historical lexicographers, was able to tell that “tuzzy-muzzy” as slang for the vagina dates back to 1642. There are also stories of Shelley having a love affair with Jane Williams not long after Percy’s death. She was also instrumental in procuring fake passports for two friends, Isabel Robinson and Mary Diana Dods, to flee to Paris and live there disguised as man and wife.

Acknowledging Shelley’s sexuality is very important for bi-visibility, something we still struggle with. But bi-history is everywhere, and now it has the gothic mother of science fiction icon herself. Long may she reign.

The new live action Lilo & Stitch now ends with Nani giving up custody of Lilo in order to go to college to pursue her “dream” of becoming a marine biologist. They even got rid of Ohana, the movie’s literal heart. The government separating an indigenous child from her only living relative is a horrific history and trauma yet all the magazines and reviews are trying to frame this new ending as a good thing because Nani still “visits often” as if it’s not a very brutal story that has separated people from their family, language, home and culture.
