Boston Post, Massachusetts, April 28, 1895

I love how queer this shit is! Boston Post is all “Ladies, please make out… here’s some options.”

There’s a reason for that. It was still considered risks to show men and women kissing. It was an actual crime to depict men kissing other men. The only safe option was female-female kissing. Which seems to have backfired on them. “We can’t further an amoral lifestyle! Let’s use women”

Oh dear.
