Chevalier d'Eon by Thomas Stewart, 1792Would shock you to learn that homosexualy was not illegal the 18th century? How about if you learned there was a vibrant gay culture durg this time?

Intertgly, much of the documentatn we have on the gay culture of the 18th century om that group, for their sire to brg more awarens to sodome ss and showse their victori brought attentn to what many outsi of London and even those outsi of the subculture London did not know about, turng this (advertently) to a known and talked about topic. There is ample documentatn via letters, journals, newspapers, and lerature of aristocrats who were openly bisexual or homosexual.

Regnn and acceptance of this as an inty rather than a sexual act veloped the 18th century, as we've discsed, but there were variatns of this inty: suatnal homosexualy, bisexualy, homo-Platonic, heteroromantic, etc; for example, a person fdg romantic love wh someone of the same sex but sexual love wh the oppose or vice versa.

As acknowledgement of all thgs homosexual (pecially mentns and ritur of Molly Ho and associated behavrs and events newspapers) spread, so did awarens. Homosexualy shifted om beg an accepted culture and inty to one of persecutn. For the purpos of both accuracy and societal reflectn, is most likely that a novel set the 18th century, namely om the mid-18th century (1750s) to the early-19th century (1810s), would have openly homosexual characters.
