Hidden In Plain Sight

A traditional European folk tale of a young girl's coming of age becomes the story of her coming out. The Biblical tales of Naomi and Ruth and of David and Jonathan portray a devotion deeper than friendship. A story of the Scottish sea tells of family alienation. An Albanian tale and a Greek myth illustrate that gender is not set in stone. Storytellers Eden Nameri and Lynn Torrie reveal how they unearthed these stories, why they are so scarce, and what makes them queer.
