No matter what you think about homosexuality, most of us know how draconian the laws were during the Regency. So, imagine not only my amazement, but those of others, to find a journal written by a farmer (a gentleman farmer perhaps) concerning his thoughts on homosexuality. It gives us reason to believe that it was not as universally condemned as we had thought. Or at least not in all circles. Around the same time a Navy physical was caught engaging in sex with a man and was hung.

What a great find! I’d love to read those diaries for a different take on everyday life during the Regency.
