Within queer history is a long legacy of love letters and scandals. What are considered to be the earliest queer love letters yet discovered are letters between the sexton Francisco Correa Netto and his lover, the musician Manuel Viegas. Within these letters and further records are a queer history of devastation, drama, and secret sexual love notes.
Making Queer History has a vague title because it has a rather vague purpose. We are not alone in our aim to tell the queer community’s history. What defines us is our focus not only on the past, but toward the future.
