Well, there's the theme of secrecy. In historical contexts, being queer was often not accepted, so many stories deal with the need to keep one's true self hidden. And then there's the theme of resistance. Some historical queer fictions show characters who resisted the norms and fought for their rights, even in small ways. Take the story of some queer individuals in the 1920s jazz age, they might have defied the traditional gender and sexual norms in the underground clubs.
