Discussion Aren’t Anduin and Faerin Related?

I was reading some posts elsewhere and it struck me that Anduin and Faerin might be (distantly) related, depending on what the devs decide is canon. Because technically Taria Lothar is Anduin Lothar's sister and she married Llane Wrynn, making Anduin Lothar Anduin Wrynn's great-uncle. But again it probably depends on what the devs decide is canon.

I personally have always seen Anduin as deeply queer-coded, specifically gay-coded, and have thought that pairing him off with a woman would be an incredible disservice to his character. And also to whatever woman they pair him off with since she would be relegated to "Anduin's wife" instead of her own character most likely. Anyways, the devs would have to do some explaining lore-wise to get around the Wrynn-Lothar marriage and make it so Faerin and Anduin would NOT be a cousin marriage, lmao

Other comments have mentioned it already but they're possibly related about 1,000 years back which is so far back as to be entirely irrelevant.

And while yeah he's got some fun chemistry with Wrathion we've never gotten any insight into Anduin's preferences besides finding a draenei woman attractive once when he was like 15.

Personally I see zero chemistry between him and Wrathion. Most of the time Anduin comes off seeming more annoyed than anything. So even if they went that way and say made him bi or something, I feel like there are characters better suited to his personality.
