Historic Accuracy | Hamilton x Laurens (Patreon)

Cheers mates,

another musical piece! This time it's Alexander Hamilton x John Laurens, brought to you by the queer ancestors of history! 

This is not just a ship, it actually has some weight in history. Lots of people have debated, if John Laurens and Alexander Hamilton were more than friends, and I think there's a looot of evidence, that these two shared some homo-erotic tension. 

The evidence I just mentioned are, for example, real life letters that have been preserved over time, so let's read some of the gayest moments of Ham x Laurens.

Here Hamilton writes to John Laurens, whom he addresses with "my Dear", he should get Hamilton a wife. How? Tell them about my massive and long cock. The way it's phrased, it's pretty obv that Laurens has seen Hamilton's cock before - in his full glory: 

[April, 1779]

Cold in my professions – warm in my friendships – I wish, my Dear Laurens, it were in my power, by actions rather than words, to convince you that I love you. I shall only tell you that 'till you bade us Adieu, I hardly knew the value you had taught my heart to set upon you. Indeed, my friend, it was not well done. You know the opinion I entertain of mankind, and how much it is my desire to preserve myself free from particular attachments, and to keep my happiness independent of the caprice of others. You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility, to steal into my affections without my consent. But as you have done it, and as we are generally indulgent to those we love, I shall not scruple to pardon the fraud you have committed, on one condition; that for my sake, if not for your own, you will always continue to merit the partiality, which you have so artfully instilled into me. . . .

He basically says: I did not want to fall in love with you, but I did, my boo. You know, I hate everybody, but you made me love you. So please never leave me. But let's move on:

          And Now my Dear as we are upon the subject of wife, I empower and command you to get me one in Carolina. Such a wife as I want will, I know, be difficult to be found, but if you succeed, it will be the stronger proof of your zeal and dexterity. . . .
          If you should not readily meet with a lady that you think answers my description you can only advertise in the public papers and doubtless you will hear of many . . . who will be glad to become candidates for such a prize as I am. To excite their emulation, it will be necessary for you to give an account of the lover – his size, make, quality of mind and body, achievements, expectations, fortune, &c. In drawing my picture, you will no doubt be civil to your friend; mind you do justice to the length of my nose and don't forget, that I [about five words here have been mutilated in the manuscript].

It's like: Yo, we need wives to cover our sus 'friendship', so talk about my big schlong (the nose thing 😏 haha). It's like two teenagers after making out the first time. The writing is so full of horny puns and flirtatious behaviour. And after finding a reason to talk about his dick to Laurens, he's like "Nah, I don't want a woman anyway":

          After reviewing what I have written, I am ready to ask myself what could have put it into my head to hazard this Jeu de follie. Do I want a wife? No – I have plagues enough without desiring to add to the number that greatest of all; and if I were silly enough to do it, I should take care how I employ a proxy. Did I mean to show my wit? If I did, I am sure I have missed my aim. Did I only intend to [frisk]? In this I have succeeded, but I have done more. I have gratified my feelings, by lengthening out the only kind of interc0urse now in my power with my friend. Adieu
          Yours.
                    A Hamilton

THE LAST SENTENCE!!! It basically says: "Yeah since we can't fuck right now, this is the only way to have sex with you, my friend" haha 🤣

Okay, enough love fantasies about dead old white men we only ship, because they're represented by hotter men in a modern musical 😎

Let me tell you this: After Laurens death, his family found his letters and burned them all to destroy evidence. There were too raunchy for the history books. 

I think that's enough queer history for today :D 

What musical would you love to see represented in gay art?
