Hello Emily, Good work finding sources on this topic. I know there is not a lot of literature on Sea Queens. This statement "Gay men in Britain during this time were forced to be closeted or keep their sexuality to themselves. This can be linked back to the reoccurring history of discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community." Contradicts the next two sentences: "In the Navy, gay men were able to be truthful about their sexuality used it as an outlet of freedom where they could express themselves possibly through different clothing without the fear of being discriminated against." Does the Navy provide a space for gay men to be out during a time when most gay men had to remain in the closet? Clarify. Also, I think you misclassify the book Hello Sailor as a novel. Verify that it is a nonfiction historical monograph.Dr. Biro Walters (talk) 15:53, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
