Tennyson, a resident of the Isle of Wight, is included in a tour of the island's sights on LGBT figures who have been obscured by 'heteronormative myths.' The historical figure was chosen because of his close friendship with fellow poet Arthur Hallam, but there is no concrete evidence that the writer was homosexual, according to Out On An Island - who are behind the trail. Tennyson's admiration for Hallam has been discussed. The poet and his wife Emily were married for 42 years and had two children. He was engaged to Tennyson's sister Emilia before he died in 1833 as for Hallam.
