King James VI of Scotland and I of England is mainly famous today for giving his name to an English translation of the Bible still held as sacrosanct by many conservative Christians. Yet he is also one of the rare examples of a man in pre-modern European history who unambiguously preferred romantic and sexual relationships with men.

She was an irreverent icon of the Harlem Renaissance, who performed her act and went around in public dressed in men's clothing and even claimed to have married a woman. Later in the more puritanical atmosphere of the United States in the 1950s, though, she published an article claiming her homosexuality had been cured. But how sincere was she?
