Pride 2022 08/30: Fanny Park and Stella Boulton

Fanny Park was born in 1846 in England, and Stella Boulton one year later, in 1847. Both were assigned male at birth, but regularly dressed as women in their public and private lives. Both actors who played female roles on stage and likely met through the theatre. The pair became close friends, referring to each other as sisters, and moved in queer social circles. Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton lived with the pair as Stella’s husband, with Stella signing letters while they were together as Mrs. Clinton.

Fanny and Stella went to trial in 1870 for, among other things “conspiring and inciting persons to commit an unnatural offence” - that is, anal sex. The court was unable to find proof, and they were both acquitted.
