22/29 On the ninety-eighth anniversary of his birth, remembering the incredible talent and comic genius of the sparkling Kenneth Williams (1926-1988). An actor of great skill, he excelled even when he felt, as he often did, that the material was beneath him: a consummate performer! #LGBTplusHM 🌈

“Two notable gains recently, have been the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Lichtenstein and then the first same-sex marriages in Thailand. So, this is a global movement. It is unstoppable, no matter what homophobes say.” - Peter Tatchell. #LGBTplusHM #LGBTHistoryMonth

'Communal nesting of two male Swans' (Scottish Naturalist, May/June 1926). 🌈🦢🌈🦢🌈

#ValentinesDay #birds #ornithology #histsci #histbio #queer #gay #LGBTplusHM #QueerInStem 🗃️
B&W photograph of two bonded male swans, published in the Scottish Naturalist in May/June 1926. It is titled 'Communal nesting of two male Swans.' In an accompanying letter, ornithologist John Peacock (!) Ritchie told how he had spotted a pair of mute swans nesting together at the side of Renfrewshire loch in the spring of 1923. He was puzzled that there were no eggs in the nest on any of the occasions that he saw the birds. Only after multiple visits did Ritchie realise that both were male, readily identified by his own admission by the large knob at the base of the male mute swan’s bill. ‘Naturally this explains why no eggs were to be found’, he wrote.
