What are your favorite examples of museum labels that dance around queerness, using euphemisms and coded language to avoid words like lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender? Share pics!

What’s in a queer museum tour I hear you ask?
@DanNouveau’s criteria - an object with a:
- queer creator
- queer subject
or
- queer eye (identified as significant with/by/for the queer community)

Exciting day at @KingsAHRI @queermuseology pop up space with fellow artists @ColinLievens and Jo Lawn exploring provocations through practice-research, such as ‘what practices need to change in order to queer the museum?’

Very excited to be at the @KingsAHRI space with the @queermuseology team and the artists @Daniel_Fountain, @ColinLievens and Jo Lawn. The aim? To present a visual response to the question of how museum practices need to be transformed to queer institutional space. #queermuseology

On 30 March 1834, Anne Lister took communion with Ann Walker at Holy Trinity Church, Yorkshire and entered into a private marriage. Lister’s diaries, of more than four million words, tell the story of her openly-lesbian relationships in the 1800s. #QueerBritain #OnThisDay
