I buy oat milk powder and mix it up as I need it. Why pay the cost of transporting H2O when you can get it out of the tap?

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

There are repeated cases from the time relating to men on board ship sleeping with one another. Reflecting on that via the most famous Admiral of all time kissing his beloved Captain isn’t even revisionist; it’s just good history communication.

TLDR?

Bi. People. Exist.

"Nelson branded ‘queer’ by museum" [Telegraph]

Kate Barker, LGB Alliance, "We already have enough LGB heroes from history, without pretending that straight people were gay."

Nelson branded ‘queer’ by museum
Liverpool exhibition gives paintings of British naval hero a place in its same-sex relationships collection
The Daily Telegraph front page 7 Oct 2025 By Craig Simpson Arts editor

The Death of Nelson, 1859-64 (oil on canvas) by Daniel Maclise. The museum’s collection examines bonds that ‘go beyond platonic friendship in some way’
Lord Nelson has been branded queer by a leading museum. The naval hero was killed during his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Curators at the Walker Art Gallery have described him as queer despite his marriage and numerous affairs with women. The Liverpool gallery holds two paintings depicting Lord Nelson’s final moments aboard HMS Victory, during which the wounded admiral uttered the words to his friend and fellow officer Captain Thomas Hardy, “kiss me Hardy”.

LORD NELSON has been branded queer by a leading museum, The Telegraph can reveal.

The naval commander became a national hero and ensured the dominance of British sea power before he was killed during his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Now, curators at the taxpayer-funded Walker Art Gallery have described him as queer despite his marriage and numerous affairs with women.

The Liverpool gallery holds two paintings depicting Lord Nelson’s final moments aboard HMS Victory, during which the mortally wounded admiral uttered the famous words to his friend and fellow officer Captain Thomas Hardy, “kiss me Hardy”.

The request – with which Hardy duly complied – has proved enough for Nelson to be placed in a “Queer relationships” collection at the gallery, which examines bonds that “go beyond platonic friendship in some way”.

Paintings of Nelson’s death at Trafalgar have also been added to an online article about the “history of LGBTQ+ love”, and in a broader collection of “Love and Relationships” paintings, which itself sits within the “LGBTQ+ collections”.

Information provided by the gallery, part of the publicly funded National Museums Liverpool group, states: “Historians have speculated about the exact nature of the relationship between Hardy and Nelson.

“Regardless of the truth, for many, Nelson’s famous request is symbolic of the sometimes hidden queer history of life at sea.”

Further information adds: “Whether or not their relationship was sexual remains unknown, but their friendship is reflective of the close relationships formed between men at sea.”

Online information on the death scene explains that “intimate relationships, both sexual and platonic, could develop between those on board”.

The inclusion of two canvases depicting Nelson’s death, by Daniel Maclise and Benjamin West, comes after an effort by National Museums Liverpool to highlight “often hidden or overlooked LGBTQ+ histories”.

As a person who twice barely avoided getting kidnapped and sent to conversion therapy by my own family members it is very disheartening to hear that conversion therapy is still being discussed. Last i checked the only thing it converts is living kids to dead ones.
