222, Italy – Elagabalus (c. 203 – March 11, 222) is assassinated at age 18 because of his relationship with Hierocles, a charioteer. Elagabalus was Roman emperor from 218 to 222. A member of the Severan dynasty, he was Syrian, the second son of Julia Soaemias and Sextus Varius Marcellus. In his early youth he served as a priest of the god Elagabalus in the hometown of his mother’s family, Emesa. As a private citizen, he was probably named Sextus Varius Avitus Bassianus. Elagabalus, barely 14 years old, became emperor, initiating a reign remembered mainly for sex scandals and religious controversy. Elagabalus developed a reputation among his contemporaries for extreme eccentricity, decadence, and zealotry. He suffers one of the worst reputations among Roman emperors.

03-11-1941 David Boise – Born in Sycamore, Illinois. He is an American lawyer that has been involved in high-profile cases. Olson, a Republican
and conservative, recruited liberal Democrat Boise to fight against California’s Prop. 8. Having these two lawyers showed that marriage equality was a bipartisan belief. It is indisputable that having Olson and Boise prominently involved in this effort helped move public opinion, especially with conservatives, toward favoring the freedom to marry. The lawsuit failed in the stated goal of winning a national right to same-sex marriage at the Supreme Court, but it did return gay marriage to California. It was when the Supreme Court declared that DOMA was unconstitutional that gave same-sex couples the right to marry across the nation.

LGBTQ2 Blogger Nina Notes:
Most of the above is copied from one of the sites cited as sources in the daily post and as linked at the end of every post.
the history of nonheterosexuals and different historical eras views are such that there is a there is a danger to apply current decadish of time, in 2021 to past decades and centuries; particularly without application of complete history.
There is a difference between adopting male attire in the era when clothing was spelled out in law, and lesbians who passed in public, differ from those who only change clothing for personal sexual gratification, in private “cross dressors” in the language of this same era.
Laws regarding clothing exist in many nations, including capitol punishment, this is why sexual orientation is a demographic, That heterosexual women continue to be denied reproductive rights, education and professions, even where won at court; that women are a demographic. That male and female persons who are ethnically different from the majority population and with differing experiences being merged into colour blind visible minorities are differing demographics.
the farther back in time the given individual is, and why on this blog, there is a under theme of Elvis Presley, as the most prominent modern era person of the 1900s Current Era; who was photographed almost every day of his adult life., and who’s number of days on this planet have resulted in his being one of the most recognizable individuals across all cultures on the planet, which in 1950s was 1 billion people, and by his death almost 4 billion, to the 8 billion currently existing on earth.
