Oh that is interesting! It's like queercoding once removed.
In fairness I'm not actually sure to what extent my formative Doc Holliday was even supposed to be queercoded & to what extent I, hungry baby queer in search of fictional models, latched onto him on my own initiative. But I feel like that equation of very articulate, physically not very hardy but mentally sharper than most, a flair for fashion, morally ambiguous, and at home in the demimonde if often meant to add up to some kind of queerness.
Anyway I'm now very interested in Wynnona Earp's take on him!
