Yes, We Have a History
Small-minded bigots often like to pretend that queer identities are inventions of the 20th century (and/or of wealthy white intelligentsia). Photos like these, therefore, are more than just cute; they’re proof of our very existence, in a world which frequently tries to deny we have any right to exist.
If you’re viewing this post on my Tumblr, click the subtle little arrow ► to the right of the above image to view the other seven photos in this set!
Same-sex/queer vintage pics that I’ve collected from around the internet.
Sorry, I just feel like doing photosets today, I guess. :)
ETA: Part Two is here
ETA: Part Three is here
ETA: Part Four is here
ETA: Part Five is here
There are links to the other four sets of these amazing photos onlytowardschaos collected and posted, right ^ up ^ there, so all of them can easily be browsed through. I’ll also be re-blogging those posts, but separately, spread out over several months – largely so I can be reminded to look at them and admire again those of us who, despite living during a period of adversity few of us can truly understand, nevertheless saw to it that their lives and love were recorded.
(If anyone recognizes any of the people in these photos, and can provide names, dates, locations or any other info, by all means, share!)
