04-08-1942 Robin Tyler – Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She has been an LGBT activist for decades. Tyler was the first out gay or lesbian comic on stage, records, and television. She was the main stage producer of the 1979, 1987, and 1993, Marches on Washington for LGBT rights. On February 2001, after they had been together for nine
years, Tyler and her wife, Diane Olson, demanded the County of Los Angeles grant them the right to marry. They were the first lesbian plaintiffs in a California Supreme Court lawsuit that challenged the ban on same-sex marriage (Tyler et al v County of LA). The suit became a crucial part of what has been called “the Second Stonewall.” She and Olson won their case in May 2oo8 when the California Supreme Court granted equal rights to same-sex couples and for the first time LGBT people were granted status as a “suspect class”: we were finally recognized as a legitimate minority and entitled to equal protection under the law. The County of Los Angeles recognized Robin and Diane as leaders in the marriage fight and allowed them to receive a marriage license on June 16, 2008 — the evening before licenses were available to same-sex couples throughout the state.
04-08-1943 – 07-02-1987 Michael Bennett – Born in Buffalo, New York. He was an American musical theatre director, writer, choreographer, and dancer. Bennett

Bennett co-choreographed and directed the production. The musical won nine Tony Awards and the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Bennett had another hit in 1981 with Dreamgirls. Bennett was bisexual, having numerous affairs with both men and women. He had a relationship with Larry Fuller, dancer, choreographer and director. He also had a long professional and personal relationship with dancer, Donna McKechnie, who danced his choreography in both Promises, Promises and Company and won the 1976 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical in the role he had created for her in A Chorus Line. Bennett and McKechnie married in 1976, but separated after a few months and eventually divorced in 1979. Bennett’s last lover was Gene Pruitt. In 1986, both Pruitt and friend Bob Herr lived with Bennett for the last eight months of his life in Tucson, Arizona. He died from AIDS-related lymphoma at the age of 44.

LGBTQ2 blogger Nina Notes: and no once seemed concerned then or now about women’s safety now that anyone can self id into what was is supposed to be safe for women. Rather than creating single bathrooms or having a new one for gay, bi men and transwomen instead of allowing anyone to self ID into protected from the public for women spaces from bathrooms to crisis centres.

LGBTQ2 Blogger Nina Notes:
To Each Decade it’s Age of Understanding, do not under consider differing geographies, nor the heterosexual clash of cultures – in particular – do not read backwards the words of humans now to earlier ages, to each own expression in culture and under legal conditions; and to all biology applies, regardless of what humans think is understood, rather than told, the why and when.
Sex the act of; is central to religion, war – who gets to what to who- vs which has had a no.
Understood as noting to be debated, quibbled nor negotiated.
Both in personal lives, in public and the workplaces, which were gender divided owing to sexual roles, across cultures and times.

music and movie information from my previous blog
where I note, The Last Elvis Secret given what the Memphis Mafia wrote about Presley Parties, the only thing not officially and rarely luridly written about was the balance of probability Elvis Presley was bisexual, and was described by heterosexual men as being so attractive as to raise a question – including Jerry Reed, writer and performer. And given Larry Geller’s descriptions of being accused by other Memphis Mafia members of being gay with Elvis during the private hair cut sessions -rather makes it seem the Memphis Mafia were jealous, and Larry having to point out that were they admitting Elvis was bisexual?
As if Geller, a Hollywood hairdress would have a problem and his challenge back to those accusers was were they admitting Elvis was bisexual with the accusation?
However:
With Elvis’ self harm in both diet and injuries as a pretense to get drugs from doctors and dentists and anyone who would administer anything, including an induced coma for weight loss: the Darkest Elvis Secret was said by his StepMom on National USA tv. That one can be famous and rich and be depressed, connects to why western nations have the highest suicide rates: direct/obvious and passive. In 2017 it was revealed Elvis Presley left a suicide note, and that was why the life insurance policy was never cashed.
Was There A Dark Side to Elvis and Gladys?
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.
