The Queer History Project

We are not products of late-20th century social mores or anything else The Right-Hand Man wants you to believe. Homosexuality and gender transgression is as old as sexuality and gender. We have been artists, philosophers, revolutionaries, kings, queens, saints and Very Bad Men. I'm creating this community as a forum to share the stories we never learned in high school history class, of the men, women and none-of-the-aboves that inspire us, that comfort us, or that make us feel more validated, as well as the history we ourselves are writing every day.

No, for real, it'll be fun!
