Gay male love story
Gay love stories in historical fiction
What was it like to be a gay man in Paris in ? While researching my novel The Beasts of Paris, I couldn’t find much in 19th-century writing about homosexual love, and even later there are strangely scant literary, queer, period-set love stories (shout outs to Sarah Waters and Mary Renault), so I’m pushing the boundaries of both ‘love story’ and ‘historical’ here. All I found in 19th-century accounts is an occasional minor character – e.g. in Zola’s Nana – or documentary reports of police raids, or porn (thank you, Jack Saul). I delved into novels, paintings and photographs as successfully as history. And if my historical period stretches from Ancient Greece to the early s – well, you take what you can get.

The daddy of all gay love stories. Although written in , Forster’s book was not published until after his death, in He was inspired to note it after meeting the writer and activist Edward Carpenter and his long-term partner George Merrill.

It was the height of summer Like every Saturday evening, Johan and I would hit the gay bars of Soho’s Old Compton Street, the heart of London’s gay scene. We started our night at Village for some karaoke, then headed to Compton's bar to flirt with the Daddies (who bought us a not many drinks).
Then we ended up at the G.A.Y. Late Club (sadly closed down in December ), which back then was one of the best gay clubs in London. We danced till the early hours…all the pretty boys came here!
As soon as we entered G.A.Y. my eyes were drawn to this hot Greek-looking guy dancing topless on the dancefloor.
I could not grab my eyes off him!
I grabbed Johan…
“Johan, Johan, look! You see that guy? Him, over there. One diurnal I’m going to marry Him, but he doesn’t verb it yet!”
And He wouldn’t know it for another rare years: I was too shy to go over and say, ‘Hi’.Wh I went over to see my boyfriend Jai, he drives a truck and we&#;re in this long distance relationship thing and after a month of texting and FaceTime sex we finally get a chance to see each other! We had so much planned, Jai wanted to take me out to this pleasant restaurant and we go for a walk on the river and then come home and touch an brush each other&#;s bodies, that burning longing which I been holding in for months! When he opened the door he gave me the biggest hug&#;.like he wouldn&#;t permit go! I didn&#;t want to either, his big arms around my waist, with one of his hands grabbing my ass&#; &#;Baby, damn I missed you!&#; He said &#;I missed you too, (kissing) I see you grew a lil beard,&#; &#;You like that huh?&#; &#;Hell yeah!&#; &#;Baby we gotta go, I&#;m taking you out to Maggiano!&#; &#;Oooh you goin all out!&#; &#;Yeah, I haven&#;t seen you in 3 months, I long us to execute something nice before I go back again! We went inside cause I had to use the bathroom, and babe was just sitting on the couch, I forgot how sex When we were growing up there were few (if any) gay love stories around for us to be exposed to, whether in real life, on TV, or anywhere else in the media.
