what does it matter what her sexual orientation was?
do we now go through every other wiki page for passengers and state their presumed orientation?
how does this supposition assist us in this page?
effectively this being included is an advert for the "historian" mentioned, it is not useful or provable and it adds nothing to the facts either way.
I recommend removal of this assumption and I also recommend wikipedia sticks to the facts in future!

In the sake of LGBT History, this is an important details. Jonathan Ned Katz is a respected historian, and same-sex relationship history is not easy to document. The fact the two ladies were involved in the Titanic, may have put them on a spotlight that otherwise wasn't happening. Removing sourced content for personal opinion is not the way of proceed. The fact is presented, as it should be, as an assumption: they were living together (proved), they considered each other family (proved by the fact one was the main beneficiary of the other). The assumption was brough along by a third party historian, Jonathan Ned Katz. No reason to remove it. Elisa.rolle (talk) 11:06, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
