Our favourite queer historical love stories

What a joy it is to welcome Lighthouse favourite Lex Croucher back to Edinburgh!

On Tuesday 17th September Lex will be with us at Nicolson Square venues for the Edinburgh launch of Bridget and Gabe Are Not Okay, the highly anticipated follow-up to the instant New York Times bestselling and YA Book Prize winning Gwen and Art Are Not in Love!.

They fell in love. They won a great battle. It should have been happily ever after. But now, Camelot's famous couples have fallen apart.

Bridget and Gabe Are Not Okay brings back the perfect concoction of queer Arthurian legend and witty rom-com. Inspired by this second instalment in the Camelot Disasters series, we went off on a very enjoyable tangent and curated a Lighthouse list of queer historical love stories.

Be warned that it’s liberatingly eclectic... By ‘historical’ we mean anything from the 80s and back. By ‘love story’ we mean stories about love in all their guises.

Enjoy!

Join us to celebrate Bridget and Gabe are Not Okay on September 17th. Lex will be in conversation with award-winning author and ancient historian Jean Menzies. Tickets and details are here!
