Maximilien Robespierre, a bourgeois lawyer with sympathies for the working class, was one of the most ruthless revolutionaries to emerge from the notoriously brutal French Revolution. Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre (/ ˈroʊbzpjɛər /; [1] French: [maksimiljɛ̃ ʁɔbɛspjɛʁ]; 6 May – 28 July ) was a French lawyer and statesman, widely recognised as one of the most influential and controversial figures of the French Revolution.
By , Robespierre was elected president of the Jacobins, and was known for his fiery speeches and uncompromising stances of certain issues. He advocated a meritocratic society, where men could be elected to office based on their skills and talents rather than their social status. 68% of all voters think that Maximilien de Robespierre was gay (homosexual), 20% voted for straight (heterosexual), and 13% like to think that Maximilien de Robespierre was actually bisexual.
It is possible Robespierre felt hesitant to reveal what he referred to as ‘un vice privé et honteux’ judging by his only partially erasing the comment. There were certainly some contemporaries who considered sodomy to be morally perverse but also a private matter. This is grammatically incorrect but so what?
It is erudite, elegant and heroically nonideological. For 10 years they simply enjoyed killing each other. Faced with news of the guillotines, he reverted to abstractions. He wash his hand after accidentally touching Eleonore -he has a small penis, of course -desperately in love with every single man that have ever crossed his path. He's just an homme fatale who lures Robespierre to the dark side with his pretty hair.
And there are the office arguments about bathroom policy, which I gather are reaching some new peak. Well, I think someone is picking favourite… I thought Saint-Just would get shited on too, but actually, he is presented as a talented young man, brave, smart, who his carrying Maximilien on his back like an infectious burden and wonder why he even agree with him in the first place. All of it. Robespierre and Eleonore aren't romantically confirmed either, but nobody bats an eye when mainstream media or even historians treat them as "canon.
One point for him. If they were gay, so WHAT? But there may be a stigma to using the third, so keep two bathrooms but remove all designations. It was more a nationwide psychotic break than a revolt—a great nation at its own throat, swept by a spirit not only of regicide but suicide. Offices and schools are forced to grapple with all the new gender-neutral pronouns.
And yet, have you ever met them? It was what made the Revolution revolutionary. There is something mad in thinking you should control the names of things. They make Danton out to be a tragic victim who heroically tried to stop the Terror even though he had a major hand in starting it and was corrupt af and Robespierre out to be a gay psychopath who killed him out of jealousy.

We often make historical parallels here. When it comes to Robespierre, his villainization thus becomes very gendered, homophobic, and ableist, because he was 36 and unmarried and didn't abuse his power to sexually harass women and cared about his appearance and had a large female following and was most likely autistic. I will start with the language you speak. Here a handy guide from a website purporting to help human-resources departments in midsize businesses.
Imma just leave this here…. Then the Duplay testimony that Saint-Just would go up to Robespierre's room without saying hi to anyone else. Meanwhile, Robespierre is never shown being affectionate toward any women.
