Queer people have always been around, and it's time to show their words of love.

"If a man should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I find it could no otherwise be expressed, than by making answer: because it was he, because it was I. There is, beyond all that I am able to say, I know not what inexplicable and fated power that brought on this union. We sought one another long before we met, and by the characters we heard of one another, which wrought upon our affections more than, in reason, mere reports should do; I think ‘twas by some secret appointment of heaven."

- “Essays” Michel de Montaigne, 1572

"I was so grown and accustomed to be always his double in all places and in all things that methinks I am no more than half of myself."

- “Essays” Michel de Montaigne, 1572

"Our souls had drawn so unanimously together, they had considered each other with so ardent an affection, and with the like affection laid open the very bottom of our hearts to one another’s view, that I not only knew his as well as my own; but should certainly in any concern of mine have trusted my interest much more willingly with him, than with myself. " - “Essays” Michel de Montaigne, 1572
