Gay material
INTRODUCTION
How can we tell whether someone was gay? There are many answers to that question, but ultimately we cannot know whether a person who lived in the past would be considered lesbian, gay, bisexual, or gender diverse today.
That does not mean that we cannot study gay history. Individuals took part in lgbtq+ relationships, wrote poems and novels celebrating such relationships, deviated from gender norms, and suffered for transgressive behavior in ways that are well-documented in the historical record.
Beneath the covers of our books there are many stories. To paraphrase the late same-sex attracted activist Harry Hay (), history knows more about gay people than it knows it knows.

Public ownership of heritage means that archaeologists need to communicate its value to all members of community equally. But how perform we find evidence of LGBT+ people in the archaeological record? LGBT+ material culture is elusive by nature and difficult for outsiders to scrutinise and recognise because, throughout history, LGBT+ lifestyles have been socially and legally unacceptable. This drove gay culture underground and its expressions and meanings became coded to prevent exposure, or ‘outing’, of individuals to the dominant heterosexual culture of the time. Not only is LGBT+ culture coded to avoid scrutiny, it is also often transitory – following contemporary fashion or reformulating itself as coded meanings became common. In his photographic review Gay Semiotics Hal Fischer illustrated how wearing a single earring had sense within the gay group.
