How do books written over a century ago have more obviously queer characters just existing, chilling, not being judged, described matter of factly, than books from the last decade?
I think they hadn't really decided that homo was contagious, thus figures that included that character detail was about as exciting as being vegetarian.
Any way would highly recommend King's Row by Henry Bellamann, written in 1940, yet somehow feeling so modern that if it came out today it would be considered woke and accused of not being historically accurate.
In this book, set in the 1890s, you'll find a disabled main character that is still loved and cared for by his friends. A condemnation of a christian doctor that purposefully malpracticed innocent people who he considered immoral (one of his victims is MC's friends who are prostitutes,and the book is very clear on who the victim is).
An indeprantly successful black bussiness woman, and the story of her fragile white male lover, who was so distraught at the fact that this black woman was better than him in everyway, he tries to screw her over, failing miserably and cw: killing himself.
One time the other main character unknowingly goes on a date with his gay ass aspiring poet friend, who tries to kiss him under the full moon. MC does not react violently (but is a bit confused), but gently explains that he isn't into that and they continue being friends.
Oh, since the book follows two guys from their childhood to adulthood, the white trash bully kid becomes the sheriff. The book from 1940 is ACAB.
MC's wife is the breadwinner for her family that has her physically disabled MC husband and her autistic brother in it. The brother is treated with more care as a character than most neurodivergent character in today's media.
MC's wife is not some seamstress or other basic 1910s woman's work type job either, she is a real estate developer.
MC becomes a doctor, and after his best friend (other MC) becomes a double amputee (i.e. the disability alluded to before), he is immediately concerned about the depression his friend is now suffering. He treats it like the actual illness it is and there is no judgement from the book or the wife and other characters.
Same wife helped her husband sober up, and note this saint of a woman married him after his accident and after he lost his inheritance. She married a broke, double amputee because she loved him, and the book is very clear that this is the moral correct thing to have done.
I would like to remind you this book came out in 1945, based on the authors experience growing up in his real life hometown.
This book is more progressive than 90% books out today and it's honestly shocking how little progress we've made.
MC1 is an atheist in 1890. This is not treated as something horrible, but just is.
The daughter of the sadistic surgeon that treated his patients so poorly tries to expose him. Gets diagnosed with hysteria, MC1, as a doctor, actually listens to her, investigates her accusations, believes her and attempts to help her.
Note I am leaving out some of the wildest plot elements of the book just for the sake of spoilers. It's genuinely amazing the subjects this book tackles and tackles well considering when it was written.
Also Reagan starred in a film adaptation of it. It was apparently highly censored, dont recommend.
Unfortunately the book isn't in print, I only read it from a random 1945 second edition that I found in a used book store. It's available in ebook format for a dollar.

B99 Bone Scene but Make It Fence: A Three-Act Incorrect Quote
Aiden: Come on, Seiji, that isn’t the problem. The reason you and Nicholas keep fighting is all the sexual tension. You two just need to bone.
Seiji: ...What did you say?
Harvard: Aiden, don’t say it again.
Aiden: I said you two need to bone.
*after several seconds of silence and death glares, Seiji storms out of the room*
Later that day...
Seiji: Eugene?
Eugene: Yeah bro?
Seiji: What does ‘bone’ mean?
Eugene: *spits out his protein shake*
That night, in Aiden and Harvard’s room... 
Aiden: Hey Captain~ Did you want to-
Seiji, bursting in through the door without knocking: BONE! What happens in my bedroom, Aiden, is none of your business. BONE??!?!? Don’t ever speak to me like that again. 
*Seiji storms out of the room as quickly as he entered, leaving Harvard laughing his ass off. The entire hallway heard him, of course, and people start peaking out from their dorms*
Nicholas: Hey Seiji, did something happen? I thought I heard you shouting just now.
Seiji: Nothing you need to concern yourself with, Nicholas. Nothing at all.

Honoring my retrocrush Jack Kelly (September 16, 1927 - November 7, 1992) on what would have been his 95th birthday.

Today starts the "You Belong Here" April photo challenge from @rainbowcratebookbox.
One of my favorite series that features belonging is Fence by C.S. Pacat. Nicholas is trying to find his place in the fencing world and his own family. He's the bastard son of a famous fencer and he wants to make a name for himself. The comic has 5 volumes so far and there are two companion novels. I've really loved seeing everyone's journey so far.
What's your favorite book that features belonging? 🤔

Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan in Kings Row (Sam Wood, 1942) Cast: Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings, Ronald Reagan, Betty Field, Charles Coburn, Claude Rains, Judith Anderson, Nancy Coleman, Kaaren Verne, Maria Ouspenskaya, Harry Davenport, Ernest Cossart, Ilka Grüning. Screenplay: Casey Robinson, based on a novel by Henry Bellamann. Cinematography: James Wong Howe. Production design: William Cameron Menzies. Film editing: Ralph Dawson. Music: Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Fifteen years before the producers of Mark Robson's version of Peyton Place tangled with the enforcers of the Production Code, the producers of Kings Row went through a similar ordeal. Like the Grace Metalious novel on which the later film was based, Henry Bellamann's Kings Row was a sensational picture of small town sordidness and hypocrisy that had to be sanitized against the pecksniffery of the censors. Screenwriter Casey Robinson had to eliminate incest, a gay character, and any hint that the young residents of Kings Row were actually having sex and enjoying it. Robinson's evasions were artful, though sometimes at the expense of the characters: Dr. Tower's murdering his daughter, Cassandra, and then committing suicide seems a little less credible when the incestuous relationship of father and daughter is excised. Still, Kings Row holds up well enough, thanks in large part to solid production values, especially James Wong Howe's cinematography and one of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's best scores. Today, the movie is probably most remembered for giving Ronald Reagan one of his best roles, one that he was so proud of that he borrowed his most famous line from the film, "Where's the rest of me?", as the title of his autobiography. He's well supported by Ann Sheridan, and the cast also includes such always watchable character actors as Claude Rains, Charles Coburn, Judith Anderson, and the hammy but lovable Maria Ouspenskaya. Unfortunately the film's leading role went to Robert Cummings, never the most skillful or charismatic of actors. He's not terrible, but he brings no credibility to the role of Parris Mitchell, supposedly a gifted medical student and amateur pianist. It's this void at the center of the movie that perhaps makes people remember it as a Ronald Reagan film.
