LGBT History Project: History's hidden gay couples

Or maybe not so hidden. This interesting piece by Laura Pullman appeared today on the website of The Daily Mail, so it seems even more fascinating for that alone!

It would appear to be based on this post to The Huffington Post blogs:

and therefore on Rodger Streitmatter's book Outlaw Marriages, not yet published in the UK, so far as I can discover; this link is to the US site for booksellers Barnes & Noble:
