Ever wonder what it's like to have the urge to masturbate so much you can't properly run a country? Queer history knows! My main source of info for this column is a little light on queer history for this day, but it's interesting tidbits nonetheless. So let's see what went down back in the days, shall we?
On this day, one of the wackier and more unstable of European royalty was born, and oh man, was he a doozy. Christian VII (29 January 1749 – 13 March 1808) was born in Copenhagen and was set up to rule Denmark after his father. Said father rejected him for his apparent effeminacy. But hey, you put John Cena or some AI Daddy Bear in that outfit, and they're gonna come off as the nanciest of nancy boys that ever minced and pranced their way to the local haberdasher, too! He did become king at the age of 16, and local nobles plied him with male partners as a way to curry favor. It's kinda like what Epstein did with, well, everyone! He did marry for the purpose of siring an heir. His queen, though, soon became the mistress of the court doctor, who kinda took over things after handing a lover off to his mistress's king hubby. Have I mentioned the chronic masturbation yet? Apparently, the ironically-named Christian did it, like, all the time, everywhere, as he pleased. It was so pervasive that he was deemed too unstable to run the country. Enter his doctor to take over. But then it gets weird. The lover that the doctor gave him locked Christian in a room. He was freed by his servile nobles, divorced his queen, and had the lover and the doctor drawn and quartered. Shoulda just let the kid whack it!
Edward Irenaeus Prime-Stevenson (January 29, 1858 – July 23, 1942) is born. He was an American author, writing under the pseudonym Xavier Mayne, giving us the first published defense of homosexuality from a legal, scientific, and personal angle. The Intersexes: A History of Similisexualism as a Problem in Social Life was written in 1908. He also wrote, in 1906, the queer-themed novel Imre: A Memorandum. In that slim novel, a British man, Oswald, travelling in Budapest, meets a Hungarian soldier. They talk, they become friends, they fall in love. It's a rare example of a positive love story between two men coming from that era.
Moderate Republican Governor of Minnesota Arne Carlson (serving 1991-1999) issued an executive order banning sexual orientation discrimination in the public sector.
Israel registers and recognizes its first same-sex couple as legally married. Though the ceremony happened in Canada, Said Avi and Binyamin Rose moved to Israel two months later, applied for legal registry, and Jerusalem’s High Court of Justice directed the Interior Ministry to include legally married same-sex couples from other countries as legally married in Israel.
