You might think, given the general lack of queer characters in historical fiction, that queer people sprang into existence sometime in the late 1960s. There’s definitely not enough queer historical fiction in the world. So it’s no surprise that Pride has got me thinking about queer historical fiction.
For me, Pride has always been about honoring the past as much as celebrating the present. It’s Pride month, which means I get to unapologetically talk up queer books all month (as if I don’t do that 12 months of the year).
