Florence Converse
Born in 1871 in New Orleans, she was a lesbian writer who spanned many genres. She wrote historical novels, mysteries, plays, poetry, and she could also translate other works from French. She not only graduated Wellesley College in 1893 but then went on to complete a masters degree in 1903. She moved north where she met and had a Boston Marriage with Vida Dutton Scudder. They are buried side by side.

i’ve been re-reading the american girl history mysteries on and off here and well. let’s just say that miss brown and miss guerrier from “under copp’s hill” sure seem gay
#i’m only a few chapters in so let’s see how this develops#but they share an apartment together#and are running a settlement house together#a notoriously queer activity#also this book is set in boston so like#in my mind the author is making a joke about boston marriages#american girl history mysteries#books#from my slate#ag#agblr#american girl#american girl doll

This is a video about Bisexual Lesbians but mostly it's a video about Lesbian History and the decline of physical queer spaces and what you can do to stop queer spaces from disappearing. I commit a minor hate crime at the end so keep watching if you wanna see that.

Been seeing a lot of posts about house md the TV show and how their 2 male mcs are like kinda queerbaity and whatnot and while I haven't seen the show itself it's really funny to think about how everyone loves this snarky comedy show with the two male leads coming this close to fucking whereas there's an actual show around this time called Boston legal that I watched as a kid because that time slot was just when I got to watch TV and it had like an actual gay marriage at the end with the two male mcs so like house girlies if you need a new show Boston legal is right there for you
#house md#queerbaiting#boston legal#im not even kidding the last episode actually ends in gay marriage#forgot the actors names but uhh#Captain kirk and Ultron?#those guys

See ive been rewatching Boston Legal and I cannot shake the idea that William Shatner's character marrying his work bestie (who is very much a guy) at the end is some type of surrogacy for Kirk/Spock never getting that in canon
#also bill's character is written as openly homophobic but gets increasingly bisexual as the show progresses#which is relevant still in comparison with the statement of this post cause the marriage was supposed to be platonic sorta#just saying its all sus and the show is made with a whole bunch of star trek alumni#boston legal#spirk
