For Pride Month, we're doing something a little different. Instead of diving deep into a single historical figure or event, Sarah and Alora are shining a spotlight on several lesser-known people from history who were likely gay, lesbian, bisexual, or otherwise part of what we'd now call the LGBTQ+ community.
Spanning from the Stone Age to the 18th century, this episode explores the lives of poets, artists, writers, and everyday people whose stories managed to survive against the odds. Many have been dismissed by historians as \"close friends\", but their stories paint a far more interesting picture.
Some of these tales are inspiring and some of them are heartbreaking...but all of them serve as a reminder that LGBTQ+ people have always existed. Join us as we celebrate Pride by uncovering the queer history that has been hiding in plain sight all along.
History isn't nearly as straight as some people would like you to believe. 🌈📚🏳️🌈
