Tyne O’Connell is a British Author of 13 bestselling books, and LGBTQ+ Historian whose quest is to challenge the pink-washing of history and expose the multitudes of ghosted and heteronormalised LGBTQ+ Torchbearers from 1603-1850.
As a direct descendent of the Irish Liberator Daniel O’Connell and the god-daughter of Quentin Crisp, O’Connell was driven by her fascination in how freedom, tolerance and liberty have historically fuelled the new ideas that provoke social changes and cultural, economic, scientific and technical progress. It was Quentin Crisp who inspired O’Connell’s conviction that ‘history is not made by conformists, but rather by eccentrics who dare to cut a line of their own, in the way they think, live and dress’.
Her approach to history is to strip away the calvinist heteronormative historiography and research source archives. It was this method that exposed the debt society owes to owes to the LGBTQ+ Torchbearers of History whose intellectual ingenuity and flair for new-ideas in science, the arts, industry and technology, fuelled the cultural and social progress of history.
