2021

considering the previous and current thought is genocide

is it any wonder many do not come out?

or that many are now self identifying as not hetersexual?

There could be more LGBT people in the USA than previously thought

an article recommending doing the behaviour why bis are not trusted and is the first to say date other bisexuals

the article bashes on gay and lesbians and saying nothing about heteros or trans or pansexuals

worse, saying what “person” you want ignores that men and women are different, and the appeal to each differs

but mostly it is the not representing yourself to others
in a way that is clear

a profile that is nonspecific will be assumed to be heterosexual

so, lesbians, gay men, bisexual women and men along with trans, pans, nonbinary: heteros are the oppression under the law problem

Dating is an individual matter, and sexual oriention demographics are distinct sub cultures that need to not bash or belittle or fetishized each other.

comics are a fantasy of dominance

besides actually listen to women?

the problem of not naming the problem

in the 1970s, Elvis Presley had jumpsuits made from almost every culture around the world – doing multiculturalism before it was a thing, post colonialism. For Presley, it was his way to message: get along with other people.

Presley’s Memphis Mafia pals were around for the parties and Elvis threw a lot. Most of the sexual stuff has been overshared and all the Memphis Mafia promised there was more that they would never tell.

Bisexual is the only thing left.

Charlie Hodge left his career as a singer in a gospel quartet to be Elvis’ sideman and he roomed with Elvis for on the USS Randall to Germany and he lived with Elvis at Graceland and other houses.

to my lesbian eye, this looks less like making fun of gay men and more Elvis teasing the audience who would never believe

despite – Hetero men being as awestruck of Elvis as women were

dec 11, 1976 Elvis at the Las Vegas Hilton – fan filmed and recorded

Listening to the bonus disc, of the Sony elvis that’s the way it is box set. In the last audio disc, elvis songs the it’s now or never with an ad Lib of too bad you’re queer. Elvis singing this version to a woman who said no, eh.

there are also 1960s studio outtakes of in between song or breaking song up where Elvis uses the word queer, in more self depricating way perhaps than would be if meant as bigotry. more confession and tease – which was always part of the presley show –

in the 1950s rock n roll was country done blues and blues as country delivered with a gospel fervour, and all about feeling good and sex – not like the gospel glory, nor hard done by blues or country cheated heartbreak songs – it was saturday night, just got paid, time to party and get laid songs. Little wonder adults were concerned, from bobby soxxers to rockabilly poodle skirts.

Elvis went to Hollywood in the 1960s and became both a parody of himself, and a cultural ambassador, the Presley Show Refined in the 1970s return to the music stage, where rather than world tours, Elvis played Vegas so the world travelled to him.

when one considers how men treat each other

it is not surprising how men treat women

heterosexually speaking

because there lurks the fear of being queer

it is the hair length and the clothes

Elvis Presley was ahead of his era on ethnity, but was a man of his era on women. With very much a women at home, vs women on the road.

Anita Woods released a break up song on Sun Records.

Priscilla wrote in her mid 1980s book Elvis and Me that he did not even want to be seen as a passenger with her driving.

And Linda Thompson wrote that Elvis said it was not his fault she caught him getting oral sex from a Graceland woman employee, as it was her idea.

Ginger Alden, his last public girlfriend wrote in her book that Elvis often called her Sheila.

Durán was a key player in the development of the Sapphic Circle of Madrid. After the Spanish Civil War erupted, in 1937 she went into exile in Argentina. She returned to Spain in 1949 to collaborate with Dalí at the National Theater of Spain. In the 1980s she settled permanently in Madrid. In her memoirs, she expressed her “passionate militancy in lesbianism in the context of a stale and intolerant Spain.”

1909, Sweden – Selma Lagerlof (20 November 1858 – 16 March 1940) is the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. In 1992, her love letters to Sophie Elkan (3 January 1853 – 5 April 1921) were published – titled Du lär mig att bli fri. – which revealed a romantic relationship between the two women from 1894 until Elkan’s death in 1921.

12-11-1913 – 11-08-1996 Jean Marais – Born in Cherbourg-Octeville, France. He was a French actor, director, and sculptor. Marais, who was gay, was the muse and lover of Jean Cocteau for 25 years.

1945 – John Preston (December 11, 1945 – April 28, 1994) is born. He was an author of gay erotica and an editor of gay nonfiction anthologies. He also wrote men’s adventure novels under the pseudonyms of Mike McCray, Preston MacAdam, and Jack Hilt (pen names that he shared with other authors). Taking what he had learned from authoring those books, he wrote the Alex Kane adventure novels about gay characters. These books, which included “Sweet Dreams,” “Golden Years,” and “Deadly Lies,” combined action-story plots with an exploration of issues such as the problems facing gay youth. Preston was among the first writers to popularize the genre of safe sex stories, editing a safe sex anthology entitled Hot Living in 1985. He helped to found the AIDS Project of Southern Maine. In the late 1980s, he discovered that he himself was HIV positive. He died of AIDS complications on April 28, 1994, aged 48, at his home in Portland. His papers are held in the Preston Archive at Brown University.

It states that attempts to change a person’s sexual orientation can cause depression, anxiety, and self-destructive behaviour. A similar resolution was passed by the American Psychological Association in August, 1997. Dr. Nada Stotland, head of the association’s public affairs committee, told the Denver Post that the very existence of reparative therapy spreads the idea that homosexuality is a disease or is evil and has a dehumanizing effect resulting in an increase in discrimination, harassment, and violence against gays, lesbians, and bisexuals.

LGBTQ2 for December 10

BCE to The Suffragettes

1725, UK – Margaret Clap was indicted for keeping a disorderly house – a molly House – in which she procured and encouraged persons to commit sodomy. Her house in the City of London had been under surveillance since this day. Her house was one of the most popular molly houses in London, and was probably a private residence rather than a public inn or tavern. Margaret Clap was found guilty and sentenced to stand in the pillory in Smithfield market. She also had to pay a fine of 20 marks and to two years’ imprisonment. During her punishment, she fell off the pillory once and fainted several times. It is not known what became of her if, indeed, she survived prison.

1792 – The Commonwealth of Virginia criminalizes buggery, including female same-sex intercourse, with the death penalty.

12-10-1830 – 05-15-1886 Emily Dickinson – Born in Amherst, Massachusetts. She is considered one of the most important American poets. While there is no concrete evidence that Dickinson was a lesbian, she is believed to have

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Emily-Dickinson-Quote-300x158.jpg

been in love with several men over time, some Dickinson scholars believe she may have been bisexual. It has been rumored that she was lovers with Kate Scott Turner. There are also the letters written in 1852 that were sent to her sister-in-law Susan Gilbert. It is clear from Emily’s letters that her love for Susan was deep and enduring. The letters are more than demonstrative expressions of affections; many are erotic in nature. Her feelings for Susan were not short-lived; the two women corresponded for many years without Emily’s passion fading. Susan’s letters were destroyed after Emily’s death, so we only have Emily’s side of the conversation.

1924 – The Society for Human Rights was founded by Henry Gerber (June 29, 1892 – December 31, 1972) in Chicago. It was among the earliest organizations for gays in the United States, and would end less than a year later after police harassment, resulting in Gerber being fired, financially crippling the organization. Henry Gerber, a German-born immigrant, receives a charter from the state of Illinois for a nonprofit corporation named the Society for Human Rights. Though the organization was intended to be an American equivalent of contemporary German LGBT emancipation groups, Gerber is arrested for creating an “immoral” organization and the society falls apart. Inspired by the work of Germany’s Magnus Hirschfeld (14 May 1868 – 14 May 1935) and his Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, Gerber founded SHR and Friendship and Freedom, the first known American homosexual publication. SHR was short-lived, as police arrested several of its members shortly after it incorporated. Although embittered by his experiences, Gerber maintained contacts within the fledgling homophile movement of the 1950s and continued to agitate for the rights of homosexuals. Gerber has been repeatedly recognized for his contributions to the LGBT movement and was posthumously inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in 1992

1927

The Grand Old Opry made its first radio broadcast from Nashville, TN.

1931, Sweden – Jane Addams (September 6, 1860 – May 21, 1935), leader in the women’s suffrage and world peace movements, is presented with the Nobel Peace Prize. She is known as the “mother” of social work. She was a pioneer American settlement activist/reformer, social worker, public philosopher, sociologist, author, and leader in women’s suffrage and world peace. In 1889 she co-founded Hull House, and in 1920 she was a co-founder of the ACLU. In 1931 she became the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and is recognized as the founder of the social work profession in the United States. Her partner of 30 years was Mary Rozet Smith (1868-1934), a Chicago-born US philanthropist who was one of the trustees and benefactors of Hull House.

1948 – The United Nations adopts the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Among its key architects was former first lady and human rights activist Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962). Roosevelt had lifelong emotional support for her human rights work from her husband, Franklin, as well as from her beloved companion, Lorena A. Hickok (March 7, 1893 – May 1, 1968). Besides Roosevelt of the United States, the other major players in drafting this amazing declaration were René Cassin (France), Charles Malik (Lebanon), Peng Chun Chang (China), Hernan Santa Cruz (Chile), Alexandre Bogomolov/Alexei Pavlov, (Soviet Union), Lord Dukeston/Geoffrey Wilson (United Kingdom) William Hodgson (Australia), and John Humphrey (Canada).

He said the lyrics of the refrain were originally “Fuck off!” rather than “Freak out!”

They were also visited by the Duke of Wellington, Josiah Wedgwood, and Lady Caroline Lamb. Queen Charlotte wanted to see their cottage and persuaded the King to grant them a pension. Out lesbian, Anne Lister (born April 3, 1791) was also a visitor. The ladies lived together for the rest of their lives, over 50 years.

from the article:

That, apparently, is that. The sacred caste of trans people and any effort to support their cause can do no wrong. It’s not pornography, it’s “stunning and brave.”

This indulgence has brought society to a place where people are fired and shunned for not referring to men as women. Worse, it has normalized the symptoms of mental illness that frequently occur in children who have been sexually, physically, or emotionally abused.

Nina Notes: where women are more vulnerable to be fired

and the translobby has included doxxing, stalking and violence towards women along with openly sexually harassing lesbians

LGBTQ for December 7

BCE to The Suffragettes

1682 – The Province of Pennsylvania, under a strong Quaker influence, repeals the capital sodomy law of 1676. The new law makes a first offence punishable by whipping, loss of 1/3 of one’s property, and six months hard labor. A second offence is punishable by life imprisonment. The revision makes the province one of only two where a man could not be put to death for sodomy at the time. In West New Jersey, also a Quaker colony, no sodomy law is in effect.

1775 – Franciscan Chaplain Father Pedro Font describes two-spirit people among the Yuma in his diary entry: Among the women I saw some some men dressed like women with whom they go about regularly, near joining the men. The commander c called them amaricados press because theYuma call effeminate men Americas…I learned that they were sodomites, dedicated to nefarious practices.”

12-07-1873 – 04-24-1947 Willa Cather – Born in Gore, Virginia. She was an American writer. Her novels of frontier life on the great plains gained her recognition. Cather was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours (1922). Throughout her life, her most significant friendships were with women, including Louise Pound, socialite Isabelle McClung, opera singer Olive Fremstad, and pianist Yalta Menuhin. Her relationship with Edith Lewis began in the early 1900s and continued through the last 39 years of her life.

12-07-1941 Val Wilmer – Born in Harrogate, England. She is a British

photographer and writer, specializing in jazz, gospel, blues, and British African-Caribbean music and culture. At the age of fifteen, she began writing about Black music. Accompanied by her mother, who thought she was too young to go on her own, she attended many concerts. Her first article appeared in Jazz Journal in May 1959 when she was only seventeen. Her book As Serious As Your Life (1977), is considered a classic of jazz writing. Wilmer is also the author of Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This: My Life in the Jazz World (1989), an autobiography that talks about her development as an artist and journalist. She also talks about her coming out as a lesbian in a mainly male-dominated and sexist environment.

1946 – Said to be the oldest surviving organization for LGBT rights, Netherlands’ Center for Culture and Leisure (COC) was established in Amsterdam in 1946. The goals of the C.O.C. were twofold: to contribute to social emancipation, and to offer culture and recreation for gay men and lesbians. The social emancipation focused on getting article 248-bis in the Wetboek van Strafrecht, the main code for Dutch criminal law, revoked. Originally named the “Shakespeare club,” the founders were gay men who were active with “Levensrecht” (Right To Live), a magazine founded a few months before the German invasion in 1940, and re-appeared after the war. The Shakespeare club was renamed in 1949 to “Cultuur-en Ontspanningscentrum” (C.O.C.). From its beginning in 1946 until 1962, the chair was Bob Angelo, a pseudonym of Niek Engelschman.

Her lawyer stated, “In the decision, the judge affirms that Roberta has been a woman from the time she was born; it was only that medical science in 1964 was not capable of identifying this, due to a physical problem she had.” She was issued a new birth certificate. In May 2015, Close revealed in an interview that she underwent genetic testing that revealed she is intersex.

12-06-1856 – 05-12-1927 Louise Catherine Breslau – Born in Munich, Germany of Polish Jewish descent. She

grew up in Zurich, Switzerland and because she had chronic asthma and was bedridden, she learned to draw. As an adult, she moved to Paris to study at the Académie Julian, one of the few places available for women to study. It was here that she met her life partner of forty years, fellow artist, Madeleine Zillhardt. In 1879, she was the only woman from the school to debut at the Paris Salon. Shortly afterward, she opened her own studio. Due to the success at the Salon, Breslau received numerous commissions from wealthy Parisians. She became the third woman artist to be bestowed France’s Legion of Honor award. During WWI, Breslau and Zillhardt remained at their home outside Paris. Both women drew numerous portraits of French soldiers and nurses

on their way to the Front. Breslau died in 1927, and in 1928 the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris honored her with a retrospective. Zillhardt inherited Breslau’s estate and donated sixty of the artist’s pastels and drawings to the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. In 1932, Zillhardt published a book titled Louise Catherine Breslau et ses amis (Louise Catherine Breslau and Her Friends). A street in Paris is named after the two women. Breslau’s work is in numerous museums including, Musée du Louvre; Musée d’Orsay, the National Gallery of Ireland, four museums in Switzerland, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Thirty hours later the machine was finished, but Kruesi bet the inventor $2 that it would not work. Edison immediately tested the machine by speaking a nursery rhyme into the mouthpiece, “Mary had a little lamb.” To his amazement, the machine played his words back to him. Kruesi would go on be involved in many of Edison’s key inventions, including the quadruplex telegraph, the carbon microphone, the phonograph, and the incandescent light bulb and system of electric lighting.

Her sexuality has been the subject of speculation. Paul Lynde, Moorehead’s co-star on Bewitched, stated: “Well, the whole world knows Agnes was a lesbian — I mean classy as hell, but one of the all-time Hollywood dykes.” Moorehead is reported in an interview to have acknowledged her same-sex orientation while identifying a number of other Hollywood actresses who “enjoyed lesbian or bi relationships.”
