Calling men "closeted" in this period is very inappropriate. The concept closeted can only exist in modern terms; there is an option now to live openly whereas back then there was not. The history of Molly houses are intrinsically tied to LGBTQ historyso there's nothing in this video that's misleading. Regardless of what class you were from, Molly houses were the only relative safe places to be openly homosexual.
seeing Aziraphale and Crowley fanart in this made me laugh cause the moment molly houses were mentioned I immediately thought of Azira doing the gavotte.
No, no it would not at all! “Drag queens“ back during those times were men dressed up as women because women were not allowed to be in theatre. Had there ever been such a breakdown in society in the 18th century, there would’ve been a lot of heads rolling down Tower hill, and the better the world would have been for it.
@@laurasmith14 you need to google princess Seraphina from the 1700’s. The drag you’re referring too was in 1500’s during Shakespeare’s time. By then 1600’s women were permitted in theater. Also, gay men’s heads didn’t “roll” they were hanged after psycho king Henry 8th banned men being together. Tf you talking about the world being a better place for it, the first recorded homosexual was 2400 bc. They’ve always been around. The world would be better if your head rolled down Tower Hill.
I remember as a kid being totally confused by the line in the song Yankee Doodle, “...stuck a feather in his hat and called him Macaroni.” No matter how many adults I ask, none of them could explain it to me. I was in my 30’s before I discovered what that really meant.
For those still confused, macaroni was a term for flamboyant accessories, such as stick on moles, objects in hair/hat (as in "...feather in his hat") and other fashion trends.
Believe it or not, there are plenty of living history events focused around representing Molly houses in the greater anglosphere! Not only does it include lgbtq, drag, and sex worker history, but typically other counterculture history such as underground fighting rings, gambling, subversive art and theater etc.
THIS honestly. I do Victorian/Old West, Edwardian, and Onnagata/Oyama drag. I really want to see this as a popular thing. Kept classy, historical, and realistic of course.
The title is misleading. It should be called "what it was like to be labeled as a sex worker when you're just a gay man in the 18th century". The molly houses weren't brothels, they were "safe places". I heard no money exchange in this video. Another thing: you show Thomas Wright the astronomer who would have been only 15 years old in 1726, and who also died in 1786, so you got the wrong Thomas Wright up there. This one you're talking about was hanged in May 1726, shortly after the trial in April. Probably should correct that for historical accuracy.
I like Weird History, but kind of disingenuous to call the men who frequented 'Molly Houses" LGBTQ. They were men. Are we not allowed to say gay men anymore?
@@bradrose15 Cuz they weren't acknowledged at the time...& it wasn't as easily prosecutable crime...."buggery" was on the books (in-law/illegal) while "L", as such, was not....i.e. less threatening to men...but yeah, still a difficult life, just not deemed as "worthy of death" by men & their weird fear of other penises...the irony....cuz, well, anyways...✋😂

As a history professor, I love this channel and subscribe, but please find images that relate to the period in the script. Having a banner say 1720s on top of a series of images from the late 19th and even 20th centuries is pretty jarring. There are great images in the public domain that better correlate to the content.
I am no history professor, but I wonder that u haven’t stumbled over the many many inaccuracies, that occur again and again in ,,Weird History’s“ videos… especially as a fan of this channel…
Professor, most pictures are subject to copyright laws. I suspect they are using pictures available on public domain, or otherwise free of charge, or for a nominal fee. If they had a phenomenal or bloated budget, I feel certain they would upload the finest and most accurate pictures they could find. The banners are used to 'indicate' the era they are speaking of while the pictures are used to 'represent' that era. Generally speaking, this channel is made for children. I believe the viewers understand the story. The inquisitive mind would conduct their own research to verify anything published on UA-cam, particularly college students. I hope this information will help to ease your mind. PS But then again, since you already know the aforementioned, maybe you should download the pictures you spoke of and send them to WH. Wouldn't they be delighted! Everybody's a critic.
I love this channel. Although, I think the title of this video should be changed. Molly houses were only 1/100th of the sex work in London during this period. Why not call the video what is is? It is a video about the lgbtq community in London, not just sex work.
Don’t u mean the LBG community... the T and Q etc have nothing what’s so ever to do with the homosexually ... as a gay man I am sick to the back teeth of being associated with the T and Q...
Man, that's something. It's like what happened at Stonewall Inn. People snitched, went to jail, and sentenced to death. Except Stonewall, no one was sentenced to death. First time hearing about something like this.
@Gisele Matthews not surprised that you would misunderstand stand completely and then get mad at the commenter. It’s the norm nowadays for certain people.
That would be ahistorical. "Gay" is a modern concept. Particular acts were described, and people committed those acts--but were not categorized as being . Except maybe Sodomites--though engaging in sodomitical behavior was not seen as an intrinsic status.
Loved this video, but the title is totally inaccurate. This has almost nothing to do with sex workers, and everything to do with gay men, most of whom - it sounds like - were not sex workers.
@@alexiscaldera3793 Yeah, but it didn't sound like THESE men were sex workers though. Kind of sounded like they just wanted a safe space to hang out and were falsely labeled as sex workers. At least, that's what this video makes it sound like
When I clicked on this video I didn’t expect it to be about LGBT history but I’m so pleasantly surprised. It makes sense though, gay people have existed everywhere for a very long time, it’s just not usually talked about. Our history has been erased and covered up for hundreds of years. It’s so refreshing to actually be seen. This is a very important and very interesting video. I love history, especially queer history. Thank you.
Society has certainly changed a lot but not enough, as evident in some of these comments. Plus gay men are generally more accepted than transgender people.

Dude after learning what "macaroni" meant back in those days... I started thinking of how during the Revolutionary War, the new Americans would sing "Yankee Doodle" at the Brits (usually after a battle that the British lost at), and I realized "Dude, the founding fathers were talking MAD sht at those guys" 😂 Also the dude in the video that got caught perusing one of those "cruising" alleys (got sentenced to the pillary and then two months in jail) and got caught and used the ol "I was just peeing" excuse 😂 anyone remember that movie "There's Something About Mary"? There's a part where Ben Stiller is driving on the interstate at night and sees a trucker rest stop and he pulls over to get down bc he has to pee, but it's dark out and there's no city lights, so he trips while walking to the restroom and realizes he tripped on a man on the ground and one other random man says something like "watch where you're going" or whatever, and then Stiller tries to get up and walk and he like accidentally finds another guy on the ground, and then these bright ass police lights come on, and there's TONS of dudes out there on the ground having a secret orgy and the cops arrest Stiller bc they assume he's one of them, and he ends up on the news and people he knows see his face on the scene and the reporters say it's a secret meeting place where men do strange stuff, and the whole time the cops are detaining Ben Stiller, he's shouting "I JUST HAD TO PEE!" And all the other boys out there start stealing his (real) excuse saying "Oh right! Yeah! Uh, I was just peeing too!" 😂 1698, 1998, sonethings never change lol
@Jon Well, first of all: ancient Greek, Roman, and Spartan societies weren't widely accepting of homosexuality. However, since you think the Roman Legions would still be marching today if not for those "darn dirty gehys", then it's obvious you have never opened a book in your life.
This reminds me of the show Harlots. They mention molly boys & there's a house with them too. It would be cool if the producers of Harlots could make a male version of their show. Harlots is super entertaining & i think a Molly house spinoff would be just as entertaining.
4 minutes in and not ONE single bit of background on "Sex Workers". This video was mis-titled. It should be called "What it was like to be LGBT+ in 18th Century London" or instead of LGBT+ use Molly Boys. Since it is only about cross dressing and gay men. Not even about them being sex workers. Just that they had trouble being a gay man or a cross dresser or cross dressing gay man. Nothing about Sex Workers
Thank you so much for examining our gay history. I would love to see a tv series made out of this. 3 years later we are not far off our 17th wedding anniversary. How things have changed (here in New Zealand anyway).
It's not a whole series but alit of the clips in this video was used from Tom Hardy's Taboo. Very good and super weird show. That's where I learned about Molly Houses.
Making the video look like it's talking about sex workers and then just talking about the life of gay men in the 1700s feels off. Only a few of these men were sex workers.
I’m not sure if you already did the event, but you could do one about the “dance of the 42” this was a gay ball in Mexico during Diaz times and it included high ranking officials
Interesting history but I'm confused by the heading. This wasn't about sexworkers it was about homosexuality and the consequences of such lifestyle in the past. But very informative. Thanks👍
Hi Weird History Team, I have 2 Question. "What it was like living in Sengoku Period real condition?" And "What it was like life during World War 2 for Japanese people?" Thanks :)
My grandmother never says anything in depth about that. She was a nurse in Naruto, JP during WWII. Didn't immigrate to Hawaii until 1958. My grandfather is a nisei(2nd gen Japanese American). They weren't sent to an internment camp since they lived in Hawaii and weren't prominent community leaders.
The Japanese people were well indoctrinated. They didn’t have food shortages as Somme comments suggest, but their lives were far from easy. At the end, the authorities handed out what weapons they could (including sharpened bamboo sticks) and told the civilians that if the Americans invaded, it was better to die defending your country than to live, because you would be raped and murdered by the savage GI’s. They trained people to dive under tanks with explosives 🧨. Things like that. And it was a totalitarian state at that time. Not to mention that virtually every city had been hombre to ruins. So life was prob not that great.

¡congrats on 17, and many more!
I wonder how they talked dirty..
Making the video look like it's talking about sex workers and then just talking about the life of gay men in the 1700s feels off. Only a few of these men were sex workers.
Thats how I feel about it too. The title is completely off. My guess is that this was done to satisfy the youtube algorithm.
I’m not sure if you already did the event, but you could do one about the “dance of the 42” this was a gay ball in Mexico during Diaz times and it included high ranking officials
3:32 bruh. that's Good Omens fanart.
WHO DREW 3:30
It’s so sad to see some ignorant dudebros being a-holes in the comments (misgendering, mocking etc.)- like... you chose to view this vid...
“Misgendering” men in drag?
@@idontgiveafaboutyou some drag queens change pronouns while in drag
This is the important History
I didn't hear anything about sex workers all I heard was about gay hang outs and being put in jail for being found to be gay
Interesting history but I'm confused by the heading. This wasn't about sexworkers it was about homosexuality and the consequences of such lifestyle in the past. But very informative. Thanks👍
Are there any female like lesbian Molly houses of the era that went to the same thing?
Hi Weird History Team, I have 2 Question.
"What it was like living in Sengoku Period real condition?"
And "What it was like life during World War 2 for Japanese people?"
Thanks :)
I’d imagine in both cases; hungry and scared.
I’ll meet you in the middle and also ask about daily life during the Bakumatsu period!
My grandmother never says anything in depth about that. She was a nurse in Naruto, JP during WWII. Didn't immigrate to Hawaii until 1958.
My grandfather is a nisei(2nd gen Japanese American). They weren't sent to an internment camp since they lived in Hawaii and weren't prominent community leaders.
The Japanese people were well indoctrinated. They didn’t have food shortages as Somme comments suggest, but their lives were far from easy. At the end, the authorities handed out what weapons they could (including sharpened bamboo sticks) and told the civilians that if the Americans invaded, it was better to die defending your country than to live, because you would be raped and murdered by the savage GI’s. They trained people to dive under tanks with explosives 🧨. Things like that. And it was a totalitarian state at that time. Not to mention that virtually every city had been hombre to ruins. So life was prob not that great.
AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY????
The title of this video has me so confused? Did I miss the part about the lives of sex workers? Or is my video glitched? Or…?
I thought y'all were joking about the aziracrow fanart in 3:30
Religion: obsessing over other people’s genitals since time immemorial.
OMG good omens???? 3:30
You really might need to moderate these comments a bit more. While many are supportive, some are just trolling.
