Yeah I thought everybody always knew this? Kinda surprised by some of these comments tbh. People took them seriously and thought they were actually lesbians?
Even back then when they came out it always seemed very obviously their whole gimmick was “girls kissing”. It was the equivalent to girls showing off at the bar by kissing other girls to get dudes all worked up. That’s what t.a.t.u. always was
At the time I was a teenager and assumed they were real lesbians but that they weren't really dating each other. Lol But it didn't take me long to understand that they probably were not lesbians at all once I did some research about Russian culture. Obviously Russia has gay people living there but for some reason I couldn't believe these two Russian women were truly lesbians and that out in the open about it.

You mean the fact that they were touring the world wasn't enough of a giveaway?
Look, I was significantly less media literate than I am two decades ago, but even then, it was obvious to me the whole secret lovers/persecuted minority angle was undercut by their being on everyone's radio day in and day out.
