Where was the bisexuality?

Except for a scene early in this movie of Lawrence and a British male friend
of his swimming naked, there is no hint that Lawrence had any interest in men.
His writings, moreover, were almost exclusively about heterosexual characters.
Sounds like another movie about Lawrence is needed.

Very interesting that you should comment on this as I have done some research on Lawrence and have seen nothing definitive on this topic.

Let it be unsaid: insignificance is the locus of true increpation.

At the very beginning, Lawrence is being observed bathing and carousing
on the beach with a strapping, young man. Freida knew of her husband's
bisexuality, and being a worldly woman, accepted it.

You mean she tolerated it.
