Pride month continues with our friends from The Gay & Lesbian Review! This month's issue is themed around the Latin phrase "Homo Litterarius" which means "Literary Man." You guessed it! We're looking back on our queer literary history at authors like E.F. Benson who famously signaled queerness in literature in the early 20th century.
Queer literary history isn't taught on a broad scale, which is why we took the time to discuss and learn the importance of those who came before us. Linked below are each guest's articles that are each an incredible read. Check out the link's below and show our friends at G&LR some support!
