Was Lizzie Borden a lesbian

Answer 1

People speculated that Lizzie was gay because she never married but using that logic we would have to conclude her sister Emma was also gay which I doubt. There is theory that Lizzie was having sex with the maid and was caught by her mother which forced Lizzie to kill her and ultimately her father but this theory has never been proven because of the lack of merit. Lizzie also had a friendship with American actress Nance O'Neil but it has never been proven whether or not they had a sexual relationship

Answer 2

She was not. She was in fact a kleptomaniac (compulsive stealing) but she was not psychotic.
