With LGBT+ History Month well underway, an event in Edinburgh’s city centre is set to shine a spotlight on the pioneering queer people of Georgian times.
Held at the Georgian House on Charlotte Square, a tour of the home will be accompanied by tales of LGBT+ people in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Visitors will learn of early drag culture, surprise trans identities and Britain’s first lesbian wedding.
Kicking off on February 25 at 3pm, organisers say the event will explore the stories of ‘people who lived beyond heterosexuality and the gender binary over two hundred years ago’.
