In the pantheon of American mythology, Alexander Hamilton has been sanitized, straightened, and scrubbed clean of anything that might challenge the heteronormative fairy tale we tell ourselves about our founding fathers.
The Spartans were encouraged to love each other because they fought more fiercely if they were protecting someone they loved. Women were just for child bearing to make more Spartans. 🤷🏻♀️
The world becomes a much more fascinating place when it isn’t left in a rigid box created by heteronormative mythology.
Well for straight me this piece gave me a better understanding of how white men have rewritten (and continue to rewrite) history. Your piece also portrayed how achingly sad it must have been for these two men. Lovely writing.
Inspiring, simply beautiful and inspirational
Thanks for this-I had no idea and plan on rereading it when things calm down over here (grandson visiting 😊)
Poor Alexander Hamilton! I never knew! 😞

I wasn't aware of but not surprised by this. LGBTQ have always been present, even Catholic Saints but there is constant attempts of erasure.

That’s the best title I’ve seen in a LONG time, Wendy. 👏🐺
Beautiful
Moving and tender. Thank you for untangling the web of lies in our history.
Thats why we are here.
