“Jane Eyre is not straight,” I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
“They’re right.” I look to the owner of the voice. There in the fifth row stands: Helen Burns herself.
CATCHER IN THE RYEEEEEE
the moral of hamlet is don’t ever try to go home and resolve conflicts with yr family just stay at college and do gay shit w ur friends
As an English teacher I am qualified to tell you this analysis is insightful and may be supported fully with textual evidence.
“nick and gatsby were in love and would have been together if the heteronormative ideology of the time hadn’t prevented it from being explicitly stated in the narrative” i say into the mic.
the crowd boos loudly. i begin to walk off in shame and sadness, when a voice speaks and demands silence from the room.
“she’s right,” they say. i look for the owner of the voice. there in the 5th row he stands: f. scott fitzgerald himself

NOVEMBER 29: Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)
The acclaimed author and poet most well-known for her novel Little Women, Louisa May Alcott, was born on this day in 1832. Although Louisa never explicitly stated her sexuality, there has long been scholarship speculating on her being a lesbian.
A 1865 head shot of author Louisa May Alcott (x).
Louisa May Alcott was born on November 29, 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania and was the second of 4 daughters. Her mother, Abby May, worked as a social worker and her father Amos Alcott, was an educator and a staunch transcendentalist. The family moved to Boston in 1834 so that Amos could join the Transcendentalist Club and be among the likes of Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Financial difficulties would force the family to move once more to Concord, Massachusetts in 1840. It was there where Louisa left school and began working as a seamstress and a governess in order to help support the family, as well as where the Alcotts opened up their home as a stop on the Underground Railroad.
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Louisa served as a nurse in a Union Hospital in Georgetown. This resulted in her first taste of literary success with Hospital Sketches, a collection of the letters she wrote home during her time as a nurse that was eventually published in Commonwealth, an abolitionist newspaper based in Boston. For many years after, she became a popular pulp novelist under the pen name A.M. Barnard. Her legacy was made in 1868 when the first part of the Little Women series was published. Good Wives, Little Men, and Jo’s Boys would eventually follow, cementing the “March Family Saga.”

The lesbian-coding of the character Jo from Little Women and its subsequent series has often been a piece of evidence scholars point to in arguing Louisa’s own lesbianism. Beyond that, though, she also never married and was once quoted as saying, “I am more than half-persuaded that I am a man’s soul put by some freak of nature into a woman’s body…because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.” She also proudly proclaimed herself as living a life of “spinsterhood.” In her later years, Louisa took in her sister’s daughter – also named Louisa, but nicknamed Lulu – and raised her to adulthood after her sister passed away from childbed fever in 1879.
Louisa herself passed away on March 6, 1888 at the age 55. She had long been suffering from health problems such as vertigo and lupus, but her final cause of death was a stroke. She is buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts in an area known as “author’s hill.” Throughout her life, she published over 30 writings and is now known as one of the leading feminist American writers of the 19th century.

The Carmilla Novella: The Lesbian Vampire Story Published 26 years Before Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Author: J. Sheridan LeFanu
(Caption: The iconic illustration from the novella’s initial 1872 publication. Fun fact: while it features several key characters, the illustration depicts no actual scene from the novella.)
This is a review and analysis of LeFanu’s Carmilla, published in 1872. Remarkably enough, the novella has explicit lesbian representation with one of its main characters, however, the novella also exemplifies the double-edged sword that too often accompanies explicit LGBTQ characters and representation in classic literature. We will also be posting a separate review and analysis of KindaTV’s flagship webseries Carmilla, a modern adaptation of the novella, that takes inspiration from the original work but is a source of much more positive and diverse LGBTQ representation.
Spoiler Free Premise of the Novella: (Set around the period the novel was written in. Other than the prologue, the novella is written in first person point of view of the main character, Laura Hesselius.) Laura Hesselius is an 18 year old girl living with her father in a castle (often referred to as the “schloss”) in the presumably German province Styria. With only her father and two governesses to keep her company, Laura longs for a female “companion”. She finds one in Carmilla Karnstein, whose mother entrusts Laura’s father with her daughter’s care for three months while she is away. As Laura and Carmilla become fast friends, Carmilla’s personal identity and intentions towards Laura remain elusive, which all eventually come to a head as her behaviors reveal all her centuries-old secrets.
what is it with straight people and expecting you to give them a fucking dissertation double spaced in mla format with credible sources as to why you interpret a fictional character as not straight like idk what to tell you jerry i simply know a gay when i see one

im pretty sure someone has already mentioned this but do u ever wonder if the only reason watson had always described holmes as a man who was incapable of love and etc was just for the people to never suspect if there’s anything actually going on between him and holmes bc it was illegal for them to be in a relationship in that time? He was feeding people lies about holmes so they could hide their relationship easier
Hey friends! Seph here. As many of you know, for the past few months I’ve been trying to get my hands on Truman Capote’s rejected, unpublished screenplay which he wrote for Jack Clayton…
I finally uploaded the full version of capote’s gatsby screenplay!! apologies to everyone that it took me so long. enjoy!!
Bringing this back because it’s wonderful
Just FYI, this is already helpfully stated in the article linked above but I thought I’d reiterate, “hardcore gay screenplay” does not mean that Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker are explicitly gay in the screenplay. The overtones of gay subtext, however, are very much there.
I’ve been busy thinkin’ about boys*
*my 8ft of terrifyingly-married-body-parts murder boi, adam frankenstein.
Victor Frankenstein: right?! same!
Victor Frankenstein: *stares longingly at Henry*
“Isn’t this the same desk set…” “Yeah, yeah, they gave me the same thing as last year.” “Oh. Maybe they thought you needed another one.” “Maybe they weren’t thinking about anything at all. The funny thing about this is I didn’t even like it the first time.”
it’s the little things: DPS version

the one kid wiggling his knees during the courtyard walk exercise

Dead Poets Society (1989)
i can’t stop fucking thinking about my english prof talking about the queer historical significance of the word “sweet” as a deliberate indicator of homosexual love and how that relates to both edward ii and gaveston, as well as hamlet and horatio. so, because shakespeare was likely totally knowledgeable about codes that queer men were using (cos like duh obvs), the inclusion of “sweet prince” at the end of hamlet is in all likelihood a completely deliberate indication that hamlet and horatio were in love
i’m???? so gay for literature and history lmao
