When was the first chat line between men established? Who was the first "lesbian"? Were ancient Greek men who had sex with each other necessarily "gay," and what did Shakespeare think about crossdressing?

A Little Gay History answers these questions and more through close readings of art objects from the British Museum's far-ranging collection. Consulting ancient Egyptian papyri, the Roman Warren Cup's erotic figures, David Hockney's vivid prints, and dozens of other artifacts, R. B. Parkinson draws attention to a diverse range of same-sex experiences and situates them within specific historical and cultural contexts. The first of its kind, A Little Gay History builds a complex and creative portrait of love's many guises.

Beautiful for outside or in a window.
Style: 1 Pack - Angel with Lantern
Gift for my stepmom for Mother’s Day. She absolutely loves it, thinks it is beautiful. She won’t put it outside for fear of it fading and degrading from sunlight, so she’s putting it in her bay window.

In order to get the motion light would have to turn to back side. Then you can’t see the pretty side during the day. Disappointed.
