So you like the original Gay Trio that is Alexander Hamilton, John Laurens, and the Marquis de Lafayette. But now you’re looking for someone new to study. Could there be another trio that fulfills your desire to research the Revolutionary War era and queer history?
The answer is yes. Allow me to introduce you to the Gay Trio: Geneva Edition. Featuring…
Francis Kinloch. The Alexander Hamilton of the group. Very possibly a polyamorous bisexual man. Exchanged some particularly affectionate letters with Vegobre and Laurens.
Louis de Manoel de Vegobre. The Lafayette of the group. Swiss man who starts out only knowing French, but he learns English from Laurens and finds true joy in every bit of English he reads or hears. He learns
about America and literally cries because of the hardships that may befall America because of the war. Calls Kinloch “my beloved.”And John Laurens as John Laurens. Doing his usual John Laurens things. The only difference is that he’s in Geneva.
There’s more to come on this, so stay tuned for some new quotes and information!
You know you’ve really entered the realms of history geekdom when you go to Valley Forge and freak out because John Laurens bonked his head on the very same ceiling you did (it was like 5′ high).
Hamilton: You live in South Carolina, right?
Laurens: First of all, my dad lives in South Carolina. I live in the moment.
