Loie Fuller in Salome costume (1895) by Photographer Van Bosch.
Dancer Loie Fuller and her partner Gab Sorère were openly lesbian in around the early 1900s. From Wikipedia: "Collaborating with her partner, Loïe Fuller, to explore illusion through luminescence, she [Gab Sorère] produced films and choreographies which moved performance from dancers being lighted to the abstract vision of lights dancing. When Fuller died, Sorère inherited the dance troupe and laboratory of her partner and strove to keep her legacy as a visual effects artist alive. She continued to produce innovative productions utilizing fluorescence and light into the 1950s."
