Exploring LGBTQ+ Identities and Historical Speculations

The chapter delves into the history of 'coming out' in the LGBTQ+ community and its evolution in journalism, discussing the impact of the HIV AIDS epidemic in the 80s and 90s. Speakers express excitement about exploring potential LGBTQ+ identities of historical figures and challenge speculative narratives surrounding figures like King James and King Richard I of England. The chapter also touches on personal experiences of individuals in relationships before coming out and ends with a playful banter about karaoke and historical figures.
