Victorians & LGBTQ+ Pride
SEASON 1 : BONUS EPISODE 1
JUNE 22, 2022
This is a special bonus episode to celebrate Pride Month! As a show that focuses exclusively on the Victorian era and crime, we cannot gloss over the fact that many facets of LGBTQ+ lifestyles were, in fact, considered criminal during the time period. And as I share this brief history with you, you may find yourself thinking, “Wow, thank goodness things aren’t like that any more…” but do not for a second make the mistake that LGBTQ+ people are safe living in today’s society, okay? There are a lot of opportunities, this month especially, for you to learn about and support LGBTQ+ people. So with that, please enjoy this special bonus episode on the Victorians and LGBTQ+ pride!
