To mark #lgbtplushistorymonth we are sharing our collaboration with @EdMorganTrust. Alasdair & Edwin were close friends with much of their work connecting through themes of sexuality and love. Recently researcher @_domenicodr has been mapping these connections.

Man was a genius, in my view.
Something for all.
