Welcome to Celebrate Poe - My name is George Bartley, and this is Episode 247 - Same Sex Attraction in the 19th Century

As I write the script for this podcast episode, tomorrow is the first day of LGBTQ month - and similar to previous years, I decided to devote the entire month to individuals who are viewed as gay heroes. The month of June is an appropriate time to look at some of the voices and narratives - some hidden and some not so hidden - that challenged societal norms and shaped the course of literary expression.
