S01E20: Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), Danish writer known for his children's fairy tales

from Great Queers in History

But how can Hans Christian Andersen be homosexual when he wrote children's tales?! Reeeeeeally? Are homosexuals not allowed to write stories? Well, Andersen's love story was quite asexually oriented, with lots of letters, diaries, and 19th-century romanticism, of course. And, hey, he had his flings and prospered in his own way. After all, someone had to be the inspiration for his story "The Ugly Duckling"! Yes, himself.
