Edward Carpenter
After visiting Walt Whitman, English Socialist Edward Carpenter concluded that the Poet “was before all a lover of the Male.”[1]
For Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen, Carpenter's Ioläus “opened up for me soul windows.”[2] And a peek into The Intermediate Sex was for liberationist Harry Hay an “earthshaking revelation.”[3]
In Love's Coming of Age (1896) Carpenter wrote, “Love is...its own justification.”[4] However various its “combinations,” “only in the most exceptional cases, if at all, may public institutions venture to interfere with” it.[5]
