This is true btw. I did a report about Ann Boney in school and Read actually liked her back so they ran away together and were considered the two most terrifying pirates across the seven seas

Lesbian Pirates

Give us this film

Just fyi – many of the illustrations and statues of them show them with their breasts exposed.  This is not because they are sexualising lesbians but because these women often used to open their shirts and expose a breast when they killed a man just so the man’s dying thought would be the realisation that he was killed by a woman.

tits out for murder!!! a true aesthetic!!!

Throwing this out there,
relationship labels are a weird place in history and I haven’t been avidly researching pirate history in a hot minute, but they also had a polyamorous relationship with Calico Jack Rackham (who Jack Sparrow was based on), and the three of them spent a number of years cruising around the Caribbean, taking over ships and gaining quite impressive reputations as pirates.

Anne Bonny’s gender would pretty much never be revealed to anyone but Rackham and Read, until their capture when Read and Bonny pleaded they were both pregnant to put off the death penalty. Read didn’t make it out of the prison, dying in childbirth I think, but Bonny did make it out.
