Doesn't mean that they shouldn't try though.

"Empathy" is what the right completely lacks, and it's what Democrats have begun abandoning because it's not in vogue. However, empathy is the one thing that helps us unite across boundaries that the right tries to convince us are unsurpassable. Empathy is what makes us strong.
I get that being angry is easier than being productive, but we really need to be productive right now, and writing off large groups of people because of their perceived failings is not helping.
Most of the people being sent to these camps are going to be undocumented, so they couldn't have voted in the election if they tried.
This is the earliest I can trace this photo back to.
It was found in a collection of family photos, but the subjects of this photo are unknown.
Since they do not appear to be erased from their family's history however, any relationship between the two of them would've likely have been a very well kept secret.
I agree with you that we owe it to LGBTQ+ history to be accurate. This photo has been widely circulated online, and because there is almost no information that can be gleamed from this, very different narratives have been suggested for this photo including ones that are narratively bad for LGBTQ+ history. For instance, there is a persistent and completely unfounded rumor tied to this picture that one of the subjects of this picture went mad with love and killed the other.
As far as constructing historical narratives for your cause goes, saying that these two women are in love with each other is definitely on the less egregious side. However, it should probably be considered bad-form to construct narratives based on such scant evidence, as that gives permission for wild claims and speculation.
How many people got the wrong impression about LGBTQ+ history because they thought these two killed eachother? The answer is probably more than zero.
