#LGBTQHistoryMonth

[itgetsbetterproject]

Meet Marcus Arana (Holy Old Man Bull), a trans Indigenous-Mexican activist for over 50 years, who wants to tell you that he's proud of your rainbow color, beauty, vastness, and expansiveness in understanding who you are. 💜

For LGBTQ+ History Month, we asked some elders from our community what inspires them about today's queer youth, and what advice they would give.

Thanks to our pals at Outwords Archive for connecting us with these amazing voices!

Stay tuned for the next 👀

Ria Brodell’s “Butch Heroes” series offers portraits of heroic figures whose stories are seldom told. They are individuals who were assigned female at birth but whose gender presentation was more masculine than feminine, who did not want to enter into heterosexual marriage, and who often faced dire punishment for being themselves. Brodell (they/them) is a non-binary trans artist based in Boston.

Here’s one example from Brodell’s “Butch Heroes” series.

Biography of Catalina de Erauso (Edited version)

Catalina de Erauso was born in San Sebastián, Spain, to a noble Basque family and was raised in a convent from an early age. Before taking her vows, she fled dressed in men’s clothes and assumed the name Francisco de Loyola. Francisco worked as a page for a few years before deciding to seek adventure in the New World, sailing to Panama as a cabin boy. After arriving in New Spain, Francisco enlisted in the Spanish army under the name Alonso Díaz Ramírez de Guzmán and became a successful soldier. However, Alonso got embroiled in much trouble, including trouble with women. After deserting the army, Alonso was pursued by authorities for various offenses and eventually wounded in a duel. On the verge of death, Alonso revealed that he was a woman. Alonso recovered and was examined by midwives who confirmed that she was a woman and a virgin. Eventually, Catalina de Erauso became a celebrity known as the “Lieutenant Nun.” She petitioned King Philip IV for a military pension and visited Pope Urban VIII with a request to be allowed to continue to dress as a man. She was granted both requests. Drauso returned to New Spain as Antonio de Erauso and retired as a mule driver and merchant.

Today while shopping at the Antique Center of La Crosse and I found a little piece of Florida history and had to take it home. Kinda shocked at the fact I found this all the way in Wisconsin.

The Parliament House Resort in Orlando, Florida, traces its roots to a modest lakeside motor inn inaugurated on February 11, 1962, at 410 North Orange Blossom Trail. Initially, boasting 120 rooms and a burgeoning reputation as a premier event venue, it quickly gained traction under the management of Ned Eddy, Jr., and his brother, James (Jimmy) Eddy. Despite early success, by 1975, the property faced financial turmoil, prompting its acquisition by Bill Miller and Michael Hodge for $648,000. Their stewardship heralded a transformative era, culminating in the emergence of the Parliament House Resort as a celebrated LGBTQ+ destination, renowned for its vibrant nightlife and inclusive atmosphere.

Since its rebirth, the Parliament House has served as a cornerstone of Orlando’s LGBTQ+ community, offering a sanctuary for self-expression and camaraderie. Evolving from a modest motor inn to a sprawling entertainment complex, it not only provided a platform for cultural events but also fostered a sense of unity and pride within the LGBTQ+ community. Over the years P-house featured such acts as Charo, Macy Gray, Jennifer Holiday, Chaka Khan, Eartha Kitt, Cyndi Lauper, RuPaul, Salt-N-Pepa , The Weather Girls, and even Gloria Gaynor. Personally, I remember sitting and enjoying drag shows hosted by Darcel Stevens and the Footlight Players, and dancing to music played by DJ Brianna Lee. Despite its closure in 2020, the Parliament House’s legacy endures as a reflection of its pivotal role in shaping LGBTQ+ rights and culture, leaving an indelible mark on Orlando’s vibrant social fabric.

🏳️‍🌈 Celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month: A Journey of Resilience and Triumph 🏳️‍🌈

October is here, and it's time to honour LGBTQ+ History Month! 🏳️‍🌈 Let's take a moment to celebrate the incredible journey of resilience and triumph that the LGBTQ+ community has experienced throughout history. 🌈

🌟 Origins of LGBTQ+ History Month:

Did you know that LGBTQ+ History Month was inspired by National Coming Out Day? 🌈 In 1994, it became an entire month dedicated to recognising LGBTQ+ history and contributions. October is the official LGBTQ+ History Month in the US, and February is celebrated in the UK. 📅

🌈 Key Milestones in LGBTQ+ History:

From the historic Stonewall Riots in 1969 to the fight for marriage equality in 2015, LGBTQ+ history is filled with moments of courage and progress. 🌟 Let's remember and honour these milestones in our ongoing journey towards equality and acceptance. 🌍

❤️ The Importance of LGBTQ+ History Month:

Why does LGBTQ+ History Month matter? It's a chance to educate, increase visibility, and inspire advocacy. 📚 Let's foster understanding, dispel stereotypes, and continue the fight for equal rights and acceptance. 🤝

🔮 Remembering the Past, Shaping the Future:

As we celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month, let's honour those who paved the way for progress and recommit ourselves to creating a more inclusive and equitable future for all. 🌈✨

On Being Queer

Another great video from Blairimani over at Instagram. 

She writes:

October is #LGBTQhistorymonth! And while I educate about my community year round, I’ll be amping it up this month! The origin of this word was used to put down the LGBTQ+ community but we’ve reclaimed it and used it to uplift 🥰

For me using the term queer is to underline what all LGBTQAI+ people have in common: That a society dominated by old fashioned  cisgender and straight ideas about “normalcy” is using homophobia and transphobia to force them to deny their true nature, and to adapt to binaries defined by people who do not understand.

“ Lucy Hicks Anderson was a Black transgender woman who fought for her right to marriage. Born in 1886, Lucy was a well-known socialite in Oxnard, California, who hosted dinner parties and was a talented chef. In the 1940s, Lucy and her husband were charged with perjury for their marriage. Lucy became the first trans woman – and first Black trans woman – to defend her identity in court. We remember Lucy this #LGBTQHistoryMonth for fighting for her right to live and love as a trans woman. ” --(via) More about Lucy Hicks Anderson here.

Meet David Strachan: born intersex, David was put on hormone replacement therapy to make him appear more "male" - but like many intersex babies and children, he didn't have a say in the matter. Now, he's proud of all the youth activists out there fighting for intersex people's right to love their bodies just the way they are and make their own decisions. 💛💜

For LGBTQ+ History Month, we asked some elders from our community what inspires them about today's queer youth, and what advice they would give. Thanks to the Outwords Archive for partnering with us on this series and connecting us with these amazing voices! Stay tuned for the next 👀

In honor of LGBTQ History Month!

Daniel Nicoletta (born 1954) has been the leading chronicler of the LGBT civil rights movement in San Francisco over the last 40 years. “LGBT San Francisco: the Daniel Nicoletta Photographs” chronicles LGBT civil rights movement and images of Harvey Milk, one of the world’s first openly gay elected officials, who was assassinated by a homophobic colleague in 1978.

In the second photograph, a group of LGBTQ activists gather around the car, “Heels on Wheels” in 1990. One of them holding a poster that reads “June 27, 1969” which references the Stonewall Uprising in New York City.

LGBTQ history has much to celebrate, at the same time we shall not forget those who have paved the way.
