What Does That Mean: Queer, Historical Romance?
History is a lot gayer than most people would imagine and this series takes a deeper look into the love lives of historical figures who were either rumored or confirmed to be queer. Every epic romance deserves to be told and while most historians would have us believe that "they were just roommates", we in the queer community know better. Queer people have existed throughout all of history and by allowing ourselves as authors and readers to look closer, we can give these epic, queer romances the attention they deserve.
