Gay love

I'm working on my lecture on same sex sexuality in the middle ages at this year's medieval week; it's coming along nicely. I need to read some more though and yesterday I borrowed a heap of books and articles on the history of homosexuality.

Yep, I have - and at some of the criticism. I'm not doing any research on this, but just using other people's research; it's a public lecture and not aimed at a scholarly audience. Ido it partly to annoy the church ladies and the essentialists that you find among re-enactor's, those who think that "it was so great in the middle ages because there was a clear division of gender roles"; men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha centauri were real small furry creatures... as Douglas Adams would say.

It sounds great! I especially love the quote from Douglas Adams!
