It must have been tough back then to love someone but not be able to marry them because it was illegal and frowned upon by society. We don’t know what year this picture was taken, but this picture is proof that gay pride has always been there.
Here are two men in love with each other and unafraid to state their wish to get married. We hope they did get married. It doesn’t matter if they did so in secret or among friends and family. What matters is their commitment to each other.
Simply Gorgeous
Here’s a picture of two women in love with each other sometime between the 1880s and the 1890s. Their pose and body language are amazing, and we can’t get over how gorgeous they look.
They both have stunning outfits, perfectly complementing each of them. With one partner sitting and the other resting a hand on her hand and the other hand on her shoulder, the picture looks beautiful.
Lucky Men
How cute is this? Reading magazines in bed with your lover and your fur baby beside you is something not everybody will have the opportunity to enjoy. The few who get to have moments like this are indeed very lucky.
These men are two of the few lucky people who seem to be enjoying the moment. We don’t know how far back this picture was taken, but we’re glad they captured this special moment.
Big Smile
You can’t look at the way these men are smiling and not want to smile yourself. They look genuinely happy in this picture, and we love to see it. Everyone deserves to feel happiness and love like this.
The man on the left seems a bit more reserved, but it’s evident that there’s nowhere else he’d rather be than at the side of his partner. We love the chemistry between these two lovebirds and hope they had a wonderful love story spanning many years.
LGBTQ+ people have captured the essence of their love in photos ever since photography became a thing. Thanks to these pictures, we have more than enough proof that identifying as a member of the LGBTQ+ community isn’t something millennials invented. Stay with us as we travel back through time to see the many LGBTQ+ people and the legacy they captured in these photos.
