pizzaback:pizzaback:iwilleatyourenglish:millettown:not that my input really matters, but i don’t know much of lgbt history other than bits and pieces of stonewall, a little bit of the aids crisis, and the legalization of gay marriage; i’m an actual child and nobody here (kentucky) educates anyone/gets educated on ithow about instead of shaming people—especially young people—for not knowing our history, we provide them with credible resources?here’s a long list of LGBT+ historical events worth googling and learning about. i’m not sure if all the dates and details are spot on, but, again, this is really just a guide for what to research on your own. to warn you, a lot of this history is ugly, including things like the conflation of pedophilia and LGBT+ people, genital mutilation, homophobia, transphobia, nazis, and wide scale persecution.Free Resources:an interactive timeline of LGBT+ world historyThe 1950s and the Roots of LGBT Politics (American-centric)Before Stonewall: The Making of a Gay and Lesbian Community (warning: this documentary was made in the 80s and is dated in a lot of respects as a result; it also features quotes from Allen Ginsberg, who we now know was a pedophile, but it’s still very informative in terms of history)a brief history of the bisexual movement from the 1960s-early 2000s (American-centric)Bisexual.org has a TON of resources on bi (and often pan) history, historical figures, research, and media“Here’s A History Of Bisexuality, From Ancient Egypt To Stonewall”a brief timeline of trans history, beginning in the 1890s (European and American-centric)“Gender Variance Around the World Over Time”Some Purchasable Resources:(most of these can be bought used online for pretty cheap and some can be found in libraries)Before Stonewall: Activists for Gay and Lesbian Rights in Historical Context by Vern L Bullough (it’s a bit dated, but still informative)A Little Gay History: Desire and Diversity Across the World by R. ParkinsonSapphistries: A Global History of Love between Women (Intersections) by Leila J. RuppGay Voices of the Harlem Renaissance (Blacks in the Diaspora) by A.B. Christa SchwarzThe Lavender Scare: The Cold War Persecution of Gays and Lesbians in the Federal Government by David K. JohnsonQueer Brown Voices: Personal Narratives of Latina/o LGBT Activism edited by Uriel Quesada, Letitia Gomez, and Salvador Vidal OrtizTransgender History: The Roots of Today’s Revolution by Susan StrykerAsegi Stories: Cherokee Queer and Two-Spirit Memory by Qwo-Li Driskillhey, thank you for the addittion, i really do appreciate it. however i do wanna clarify that my intent wasn’t to shame anybody: posting this was more to counteract a popular post with the same graphic posted by a transphobe. i thought this commentary was important as the perpetuation of an oversimplified view of LGBT history & the unwillingness (rather than the inability) to share resources like the ones you’ve linked above (often for political reasons) was harming people’s perceptions of LGBT history. but I am sorry to anyone who felt shamed by this post, as i said it truly wasn’t my intent and i hadn’t thought about it at the time i posted it. yall wanna read this addition instead of continuing to accuse me of hating people for not having a good educational system? -- source link
