Former #PoetLaureate, Dame #CarolAnnDuffy, is openly lesbian. If you read only one collection of hers, make it 'The World's Wife', in which the wives of famous men such as Mrs Midas, Frau Freud & Queen Kong get a voice. What an imagination!

#DerekJarman was a filmmaker, artist & #LGBT+ activist who died of #AIDS in 1994 (age 52😢). He made many movies but #Caravaggio (1986) is seen as his most accessible. He emulates the artist's use of #chiaroscuro (light/dark) in the film. Just beautiful! Watch it.

#DavidBowie is probably the most famous bisexual this country has produced. Our students learn about the pivotal moment in #UK cultural history when he performed #Starman on 'Top Of The Pops' in 1972. It was a life-changing 3 mins for many young #LGBT+ people.

2/2: #Wittgenstein had three male loves in his life & one female. Whenever he wanted to escape from philosophy, he would go the cinema, take a front row seat & completely immerse himself in the movies of #CarmenMiranda. & who can blame him.

1/2: #VirginiaWoolf's novel #Orlando (1928) was inspired by her affair with #VitaSackvilleWest. Both women were quite open about their love for each other at a time when #British society was socially conservative.
