admiral nelsons sexuality in spotlight once again after war hero branded queer by british museum 1234755997

The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, UK, has labeled British naval hero Horatio Nelson as "queer" based on his contested final words, "Kiss me, Hardy," uttered to Captain Thomas Hardy before his death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The gallery included paintings of Nelson's death by Daniel Maclise and Benjamin West in a "Queer relationships" collection and an online article on LGBTQ+ love, sparking debate over historical interpretation.

admiral nelsons sexuality in spotlight once again after war hero branded queer by british museum 1234755997

The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, UK, has included British naval hero Horatio Nelson in a "Queer relationships" collection, citing his contested final words "Kiss me, Hardy" as evidence. The museum added Daniel Maclise's *The Death of Nelson* (1859-1864) and Benjamin West's 1806 painting of the same name to an online article about LGBTQ+ love. This follows a similar move by London's National Maritime Museum, which examined Nelson through a "queer lens" during a "Queer History Night" event last year.
