Queer Possibilities in Revolutionary America

In the local area, a look back at the revolutionary era reveals an interesting time for expression. During this period, same-sex attraction and gender nonconformity could be expressed in ways that may be surprising to some. The understanding of gender at the time was different from today, with gender seen as something that people did rather than something they were. Further details about this time and its queer possibilities are available from Ms. Magazine, which has explored this aspect of the revolutionary era in more depth.
