    Lyrics:
    Who’s gonna tell us the stories
    That our textbooks don’t?
    Tales of love that stay blurry
    ‘Cause our courses won’t
    Ignore the way they’re designed
    To erase the past
    To keep good intentions secret
    To force a mask
    Too many handwritten letters
    Signed to “my dearest, with love”
    All pulled from their papers
    Ripped out as cover-up
    To disguise endearment as friendly notes
    It doesn’t take a scholar
    To know how this one goes
    And historians will call them
    Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
    Anything but lovers
    History hates lovers
    Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
    Anything but lovers
    History hates lovers
    40 years living together
    Wearing the same wedding bands
    Two kids and a golden retriever
    “Just friends” don’t live like that
    They don’t look at each other
    with love in their eyes
    With hopes to settle down
    For the rest of their lives
    How many decades of hiding?
    Twenty-one centuries of hate
    Some things may not have been okay back then
    But it’s sure alright today
    Too afraid to call it what it is
    Doesn’t take a scholar
    To understand this
    And historians will call them
    Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
    Anything but lovers
    History hates lovers
    Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
    Anything but lovers
    History hates lovers
    Keep it hidden
    Rewrite history
    Leave it wrapped up
    In a mystery
    Because no one can figure it out
    (I think they’ve figured it out)
    Stash the proof
    Hide the evidence
    Keep it locked up
    ‘Til it’s relevant
    Because they can’t figure it out
    (They figured it out.They figured it out.)
    Because no one can figure it out
    I think they figured it out.
    And historians will call them
    Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
    Anything but lovers
    History hates lovers
    Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
    Anything but lovers
    History hates lovers

    about Chopin:
    "In one letter to a male school friend, he wrote: “You don’t like being kissed. Please allow me to do so today. You have to pay for the dirty dream I had about you last night.”
    There are 22 letters on record from Chopin to the same friend, Tytus Woyciechowski, and he often began them with “my dearest life”, and signed off: “Give me a kiss, dearest lover.”
    But the English-Canadian biographer Alan Walker insisted in his 2018 book Fryderyk Chopin: A Life and Times that the homoerotic love letters penned by Chopin were the result of “psychological confusion”, and added that Woyciechowski was a “bosom friend”.

      Yea, we were talking about non-hetero stuff once when studing (writting studies, one hour of lecture was for non-hetoro literature) and we are from Poland - country from a very polish-sounding-named Chopin was too, and like... Chopin was told to be one of people to have "same-sex romantic friendship" (romantic because of era "romantism", but like... do they hear themselfs?). Like seriously how is that even a term? How did they came up with this term? "And they had same-sex romantic friendship. Utterly platonic of course"

    • @TimeturnerJ
      @TimeturnerJ 2 роки тому +166

      @@go-cm4rz I think it's more to do with making academic statements. See, even if every sign points to two historic people being lovers, unless they actually called each other that, we can't say it with 100% certainty - so even if subjectively you think "duh, they were gay", it's not something you can present as an objective fact if you don't have any hard evidence for it.
      You could potentially suggest it as a _possibility_ at least, but even then, you'd have to word it carefully.
      Academic circles are very strict about subjective statements, and that's probably why a lot of people use more general, objective terms. Can you prove with 100% certainty that they were lovers? No, likely not. But can you prove that they lived together? Yes. Sigh, roommates it is...
      This isn't just the case for same sex couples, mind. In archaeology, we can always _speculate_ about the cultural aspects of a place or item, but presenting anything as a hard fact when you can't prove it is a slippery slope.
      Academics are very strict like that. :'D

      Its actually confirmed that Alexander's son crossed out some parts of the letters between them before publishing them, wonder why.
      A posible secret romantic relationship is also touched upon in Alexander Hamilton's biography (the one that inspired the creation of the Brodway musical), and i don't know if this is historically accurate ( don't remember if i read it on the internet or on the biography) but i think someone close to Hamilton used to call Laffayette, Laurens and Hamilton somethig along the lines of "the gay trio"

    As a aspiring historian who's in school right now this song is my anthem.
    LGBT+ history is something I'd love to research and publish about because of the historians brought up in the song.
    We've evolved past the point where my peers need to keep things in the dark for any reason, and I'll be damned if I follow the path that these past historians traveled.
    There are so many historical perspectives and relationships that we know about that fit their agenda, but there are way too many that are just too obviously gay to be ignored.
    It's frustrating, but thankfully I'm not alone in trying to right the wrongs of ignorant historians.
    Fantastic work with the song!

    My gf and I joke about being ‘gal pals’ and ‘close friends’ because we find it funny, as when we are together we are obviously _together_.
    But I still call her ‘my friend’ when I’m talking to ppl I don’t really know. And every time it feels like I’m putting up a little shield to keep those people away, but in doing so I lose her in that version of me. It’s such a little thing, just four letter missing in front of the word ‘friend’. Dut in doing so, feels like a part of me and my life is missing.
    I don’t want to lose her in any version of me. I love her in all of them. Even if history would hate us.

    during the WW II there were three Polish guys - Tadeusz Zawadzki - his nickname was Zośka, Jan Bytnar - nickname Rudy and Maciej Aleksy Dawidowski - nickname Alek. They were best friends. They were about 20 years old when they were fighting against the Nazis by for example recapturing the prisoners, taking off the Nazi flags or writing texts against them on the walls. But between two of them - Rudy and Zośka - there was a special relationship. Then the Nazis captured Rudy and tortured him to get the information about the organization he was in. He didn't say anything. The Nazis hurt him so badly that he was dying. Zośka visited him in the prison. Rudy was complaining about his pain, but in the same time he was saying how wonderful he was feeling. He said that they will travel to the countryside and live together while he would heal. Then he told Zośka to lie down next to him. He hugged his head and felt asleep.

    Of course they couldn’t get away with everything. I remember when my literature teacher taught us the biography of Giacomo Leopardi, one of the most esteemed and respected poets of Italian Literature, and when she told us how he lived the last part of his life with the writer Antonio Ranieri, who took care of him and was his emotional support at the very end of his sickness, she told us “just remember that there still is a hot debate among historians about what exactly the nature of their “Friendship” was”, and she paused and gave us that look, that look that says “You know what I mean…”

      Alexander Hamilton to John Laurens
      "Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my dear Laurens, it might be in my power by action rather than words to convince you that I love you. I shall only tell you that till you bade us adieu, I hardly knew the value you taught my heart to set upon you. Indeed, my friend, it was not well done. You know the opinion I entertain of mankind and how much it is my desire to preserve myself free from particular attachments and to keep my happiness independent to the caprice of others. You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without consent. But as you have done it and as we are generally indulgent to those we love, I shall not scruple to pardon the fraud you have committed, on condition that for my sake, if not for your own, you will always continue to merit the partiality, which you have artfully instilled into me.”

    First thing coming up to my mind: Achilles and Patrochilles. Our teacher told us right away, that even though our text books say they were only friends and cousins, they were also lovers. And back then it was pretty common. Many other things controversial now, were normal back then. Why should we cover it up? Because it would piss off some people that can't accept the fact that love is love?

    She didn't expect to fall in love with her though. She was like a goddess. Everyone loved her.
    She never told her how she felt. All she did was make jokes about marrying her. At least, everyone saw them as jokes.
    Eventually... Everything came to an end when she picked the wrong side and they were forced apart. She had little time to live. So she wrote a letter as a final goodbye... Saying how she regretted that she never married her.
    And so, the tale of the girl with royal blood and her protector ended in a tragedy.
