As a gay man, this piece really resonated with me. Why have queer people so often been cast as monsters - and why is that language creeping back now? A brilliant guest piece by @sachacoward.bsky.social that I’m very proud to publish.

‘Our own desire can strike us as alien and predictable by turn, make us seem fools or madmen, even to ourselves. Its hybrid character, our own and not our own, accounts for some of its fascination.’ @piercepenniless.bsky.social on gay history and its uses. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

As we mark LGBT history month, I reflect on how far we have come, but also how hard-won rights & freedoms are now under threat, especially for trans people, and why @stonewalluk.bsky.social & other LGBT rights groups work is more important than ever.

Today is the start of LGBT+ History Month in the UK. I joined some cool people a while ago to reflect on why queer and trans histories are rich and powerful.
