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 with 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? the last Elvis secret, along with the suicide note left in 1977, all swore to not reveal.

And each Memphis Mafia Member book was all about the orgies and parties Elvis made them attend, as if that was not why they were his friends acquired over time, to Red West, who saved Elvis from high school bathroom beatings and haircuts.

However:

With the new theatric Biopic that will reveal Elvis’ self harm in both diet and injuries as a pretense to get cancer level drugs from doctors and dentists and anyone who would administer anything, including an induced week long coma for weight loss in Vegas, known to any Elvis fan who read:

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.

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.

There was suddenly a plethora of them on sale in drugstores and bookstores…many written by men who had never knowingly spoken to a lesbian. Wish fulfillment stuff, pure erotic daydreaming. I wanted to make some money, of course, but I also thought that we should have some stories about real people.” In 1965 she met Pearl Hart,

along with Taylor, one of the founders of Mattachine Midwest (one of the earliest LGBT rights organization). They were together until 1975 when Hart died.

There he wrote the screenplay for the 1969 film Women in Love (1969) and earned an Academy Award nomination for his work. Kramer introduced a controversial and confrontational style in his novel Faggots (1978), which earned mixed reviews and emphatic denunciations from some in the gay community for Kramer’s one-sided portrayal of shallow, promiscuous gay relationships in the 1970s. Kramer witnessed the spread of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) among his friends in 1980. He co-founded the Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), which has become the world’s largest private organization assisting people living with AIDS. Kramer grew frustrated with bureaucratic paralysis and the apathy of gay men to the AIDS crisis, and wished to engage in further action than the social services GMHC provided. He expressed his frustration by writing a play titled The Normal Heart, produced at The Public Theater in New York City in 1985. His political activism continued with the founding of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) in 1987, an influential direct action protest organization with the aim of gaining more public action to fight the AIDS crisis. ACT UP has been widely credited with changing public health policy and the perception of people living with AIDS (PWAs), and with raising awareness of HIV and AIDS-related diseases.

BCE to The Suffragettes

09-06-1860 – 05-21-1935 Jane Addams – Born in Cedarville, Illinois. She was a pioneer American settlement social worker, public philosopher, sociologist, author, and leader in women’s suffrage, and world peace. She said, “…that if women were to be responsible for cleaning up their communities and making them better places to live, they needed to be able to vote to do so effectively.”

In 1889 she co-founded Hull House, and in 1920 she was a co-founder for 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. Addams’ had a romantic relationship with Mary Rozet Smith, who supported Addams’ work at Hull House. Together that owned a summer house in Bar Harbor, Maine. When the two women traveled together, Addams wired ahead to hotels, requesting a double bed. When Addams’ travels took her away from Smith, she took along a portrait painting of Smith. When Smith was away in Europe in 1902, Addams wrote her a letter: “You must know, dear, how I long for you all the time…There is a reason in the habit of married folks keeping together.” Based on such evidence, most of the authors who have written about Addams since 1970 conclude that Addams and Smith, neither of whom had a romantic relationship with a man, thought of their 40-year relationship as a marriage of sorts. “The question of what Addams and Smith did in bed should not be the main issue,” said Lillian Faderman, author of several books on lesbian history. “Those two women obviously loved each other and had a deep emotional bond,” she says. “That’s a good enough definition of lesbian to me.” Some of Smith’s relatives have told the director of the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum that they proudly believe Smith was a lesbian. The museum director, Lisa Un Lee, said, “We’re a history museum, and it should be part of the historical record.”

From her exclusively romantic relationships with women, she would most likely be described as a lesbian in contemporary terms, similar to many leading figures in the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom of the time. She “shared her life for 40 years” with her beloved companion Mary Rozet Smith (December 23, 1868 – February 22, 1934).

1882 – John Powell (September 6, 1882 – August 15, 1963) is born in Richmond, Virginia. A world-renowned concert pianist and composer, his partner in life was fellow composer Daniel Gregory Mason (November 20, 1873 – December 4, 1953.

09-06-1917 — 01-09-1989 Richard David Barr – Born in Washington, D.C. He was an American theater director and producer.

Barr is best remembered for producing the works of Edward Albee, including Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962). He also produced the gay drama, The Boys in the Band (1968) by Mart Crowley.

From 1967 until his death in 1989, he served as the president of the League of American Theatres and Producers. He was openly gay and died of AIDS-related liver failure.

1935 -New York University professor Dr. Louis W. Max tells a meeting of the American Psychological Association that he has successfully treated a “partially fetishistic” homosexual neurosis with electric shock therapy delivered at “intensities considerably higher than those usually employed on human subjects.” Max’s presentation is the first documented instance of aversion therapy to “cure” homosexuality.

BCE to The Suffragettes

09-04-1891 – 04-09-1946 Lyle Chambers Saxon – Born in Baton Rouge,

Louisiana. He was New Orleans’ most popular writer during the second quarter of the twentieth century. What he is best known for is the restoration and preservation of the French Quarter. Saxon lived in the French Quarter when his friends begged him not to live “among thieves and squalor” that the city’s oldest section then attracted. He personally restored two important buildings and led the city’s preservation movement. Because of his newspaper writings in The Times-Picayune, the French Quarter became “more of an art colony, less an underworld.” Saxon’s gay affairs were discreet, and never a problem for his straight friends. Some say his only great love was his childhood friend, George Favrot, who died in Paris during WWI. Other sources maintain that he had a sexual relationship with Joe Gilmore, his long-time black valet.

09-04-1905 – 12-13-1983 Mary Renault – Born in Forest Gate, Essex, England. She was an English writer best known for her historical novels set in Ancient Greece. She went to Oxford where one of her tutors was J.R.R.

Tolkien. After she left Oxford, she found work as a nurse at the Radcliffe Infirmary. It was there that she met and fell in love with a fellow nurse, Julie Mullard. At the same time, she began writing fiction between her shifts and published her first novel, a hospital romance called Purposes of Love (1939). In 1948, she won an MGM award for her fourth novel, Return to Night (1947). The award was $150,000. The British government took 80 percent in taxes. With the money that was left, Renault and Mullard left England for South Africa, which was more tolerant of homosexuality and was also tax-free. In South Africa, the women found a community of gay expatriates. Renault never returned to England, even for a visit.

1939 – The day after the UK declares war on Germany, Alan Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954), father of computer science, registers for the UK military.

BCE to The Suffragettes

09-02-1821 Anne Whitney – Born in Watertown, Massachusetts. She was an American sculptor and poet.

In the 1860s she exhibited her work in the Boston gallery of De Vries, Ibarra & Co. She was well known as a supporter of both the abolitionist and suffragette movements. Whitney herself felt the brunt of the sexism of the day when, in 1875, the commission for a statue of Charles Sumner that won a competition was taken away from her when it was discovered that the winning model was created by a woman. Whitney and her companion, Addy Manning, lived abroad in the 1860s and 1870s, in Rome, Florence, and Paris. Her relationship with Abby Manning lasted over forty years and was frequently called a “Boston marriage.” Manning and Whitney were buried next to one another under the same headstone. Whitney’s life abroad is well documented by more than 400 letters she sent to her family, now among the more than 4,000 letters, photographs, and other documentation in the Anne Whitney Archive at Wellesley College. Among her well known public sculptures is the statue of Samuel Adams (1876) located in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the US Capitol, Washington DC and the statue of Leif Ericsson (1887) in Boston.

09-02-1894 – 01-28-1983 Bryher (Annie Winifred Ellerman) – Born in Margate, United Kingdom. She was an English novelist, poet, memoirist, and magazine editor. Her father was the shipowner and financier John Ellerman, who at the time of his death in 1933, was the richest Englishman who had ever lived.

Writing under the name Bryher, she was an early feminist. She was a major figure of the international set in Paris in the 1920s, using her fortune to help many struggling writers. With her lesbian lover Hilda Doolittle(H.D.) (September 10, 1886 – September 27, 1961) and Scottish writer Kenneth Macpherson, she launched the film magazine Close Up, which introduced Sergei Eisenstein’s work to British viewers. From her home in Switzerland, she helped to evacuate Jews from Hitler’s Germany, and then became a popular historical novelist.

Bryher knew from an early age that she was a lesbian. In 1918 she met and became lovers with poet Hilda Doolittle (better known by her initials H.D.) The relationship was an open one and although they didn’t live together after 1946, their relationship continued until Doolittle’s death in 1961. During the 1920s, Bryher lived in Paris. Her circle of friends included Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Beach, and Berenice Abbott. Her wealth enabled her to give financial support to struggling writers, including James Joyce and Edith Sitwell. She also helped financially with Sylvia Beach’s bookstore, Shakespeare and Company.

09-02-1907 – 11-18-1996 Evelyn Hooker – Born in North Platte, Nebraska. She was an American psychologist most notable for her 1957 paper “The Adjustment of the Male Overt Homosexual” in which she administered several psychological tests to groups of self-identified male homosexuals and heterosexuals and asked experts to identify the homosexuals and rate their mental health.

The experiment, which other researcher repeated, argues that homosexuality is not a mental disorder, as there was no detectable difference between homosexual and heterosexual men in terms of mental adjustment. Her demonstration that it is not an illness led the way to the eventual removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In 1973, the weight of empirical data, coupled with changing social norms and the development of a politically active gay community in the United States, led the Board of Directors of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder. Its decision was ratified by the Board in 1974. Dr. Hooker’s story has been chronicled in a documentary, Changing Our Minds: The Story of Dr. Evelyn Hooker.

The American Psychological Association said about her in honoring her with a 1991 award: “When homosexuals were considered to be mentally ill, were forced out of government jobs, and were arrested in police raids, Evelyn Hooker courageously sought and obtained research support from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to compare a matched sample of homosexual and heterosexual men. Her pioneering study, published in 1957, challenged the widespread belief that homosexuality is a pathology by demonstrating that experienced clinicians using psychological tests … could not identify the nonclinical homosexual group. This revolutionary study provided empirical evidence that normal homosexuals existed, and supported the radical idea then emerging that homosexuality is within the normal range of human behavior … Her research, leadership, mentorship, and tireless advocacy for an accurate scientific view of homosexuality … has been an outstandingcontribution to psychology in the public interest.”

1964 – The first photograph of lesbians appears on the cover of lesbian magazine The Ladder,showing two women from the back, on a beach looking out to sea. The Ladder was the first nationally distributed lesbian publication in the United States. It was published monthly from 1956 to 1970, and once every other month in 1971 and 1972. It was the primary publication and method of communication for the Daughters of Bilitis(DOB), the first lesbian organization in the US. It was supported by ONE, Inc. and the Mattachine Societywith whom the DOB retained friendly relations. The name of the magazine was derived from the artwork on its first cover, simple line drawings showing figures moving towards a ladder that disappeared into the clouds. The first edition of The Ladder appeared in October 1956, edited by Phyllis Lyon(born November 10, 1924), who co-founded the Daughters of Bilitis in 1955 with Del Martin (May 5, 1921 – August 27, 2008), both of whom had journalism experience. Many of its contributors used pseudonyms or initials. Lyon edited The Ladder as “Ann Ferguson” for the first few months but dropped the name as a way of encouraging their readers not to hide. In 1963, Barbara Gittings(July 31, 1932 – February 18, 2007) took over editing The Ladder, giving it a more politically urgent stance, and by adding “A Lesbian Review” under the title of the magazine. The line drawings on the cover were replaced with photographs of lesbians to make them more visible. The first woman who appeared in a photograph on the cover in May, 1964 was an unnamed model. The first woman who allowed her name to be printed was from Indonesia who had sent her picture and a letter explaining how isolated she was. In 1975, Arno Press released a nine-volume compilation of The Ladder in hardback as part of their series “Lesbians and Gay Men in Society, History, and Literature” with a short foreword by Barbara Grier (November 4, 1933 – November 10, 2011).
