YMMV / Bisclavret

• Ho Yay: Bisclavret's behavior as a wolf indicates that he's very close to the king, and the two of them engage in some pretty intensive kissing at the end of the story (in the king's bedroom, no less). Overlaps with Values Dissonance, as medieval culture was less uneasy than modern Western culture about physical affection between men, and bedrooms were a more public space (at least for royalty). On the other hand, relationships between feudal lords and their retainers were often imagined in terms analogous to marriage, and some scholars of the period think that the homoerotic component was just an accepted part of the culture (although actual sex between men, or women, was officially frowned upon).
