They took each other's hands. Each gave way to the impulse of his manly love, rarer, alas! but as tender and true as the love of woman, and they drew nearer and kissed each other.

These words are from what is generally agreed to be America’s first gay novel.  Stick with this podcast as we delve into the 1870 novel Joseph and His Friend, and this is Episode 385 - America’s First Gay Novel.
