Came back here to report my findings cause some aspects of this story got me curious! Read on if you're interested lmao.
- It wasn't common to be gay in the wild west, but it was common to engage in homosexual activities! Less women and more men, they didn't consider it to be deep intimacy between two guys but rather sex was just sex and pleasure was pleasure. They kinda did what they did and make do with what they had.
- A bandana or handkerchief can actually mean something! Quotes from wiki 'Wearing a handkerchief on the left side of the body typically indicates one is a "top" while wearing it on the right side of the body would indicate one is a "bottom"'. It's not necessarily true per say because certain communities could have different indications. But apparently back then when men in the west were dancing, there weren't women partners and so the men who played the women roles had a bandana worn. APPARENTLY.
At first I wondered how it felt so natural for these two men to be so intimate with each other cause you would think they'd be repulsed considering this was back then, when homophobia was a thing. But I guess this goes way far back, and especially in rural areas it was a more common thing. Not publicly talked about and feelings weren't discussed, just sex for funs lmao.
AND I KNOW THIS IS FICTION, but still, I literally have no life but than to holler at these two donkeys. lel
