PAUL, backstage after a Wings concert, 1976, ©️ Harry Benson

“My best work from this period is backstage where he’s bursting through the door after a show, lying down exhausted, sweating. Linda told me that he’d never let anyone photograph him like that. You only get that access if they like you and don’t mind you or your camera being there.” — Harry Benson

Funeral of Martin Luther King, Jr., 1968

"I flew to Atlanta and arrived in advance of the plane that was carrying Dr. King’s body. I had been in an area of the tarmac that was allotted for photographers, but I moved out of it for a moment and caught one frame of his widow, Coretta Scott King, and their children as they prepared to step down from the plane."

Photographer: Harry Benson

British gay/bi male writers and their social circles

As a great admirer of gay literature, the social circles of gay and bisexual male writers is something that piques my interest. Due to the dangerousness of the matter in the past and also because it revolves around a relatively small niche, it seems that there was high level familiarity between these figures. The United Kingdom, a country whose literary input has abundant homoerotic tones, is a very adequate setting to analyze such a configuration.

I've been building a graph on this subject for some time, and now it seems mature enough for me to post it. It's a diagram based on friendship connections — deep or superficial —, although romantic and family-related connections are also included. Just a mutual recognition of existence isn't enough to justify a connection (otherwise most of them would be linked to Wilde!), and rivalries were not considered too. All the writers included were born during the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1837-1910), where this interconnectivity seemed particularly strong.

This is just an early version, as I imagine there is still a considerable amount of information that I missed. Therefore, I'm very open to suggestions and comments on it!

(Three Irishmen were also included in the diagram: Stoker, Wilde and Reid)
