No Way, They Were Gay?: Hidden Lives and Secret Loves

History sounds really official. Like it's all fact. But that's not necessarily true. History is created by those who document it...and sometimes those people are biased against or just can't see or imagine anyone different from themselves.Men who loved men, women who loved women, and people who lived outside gender boundaries are often left out of history. In fact, some household names have had these parts of their lives and identities censored, from Shakespeare and Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Cary Grant and Eleanor Roosevelt. No Way, They Were Gay? reclaims the lives and loves of famous figures by sifting through primary source materials including letters, interviews, photos, and poems.
