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.

Our Daily Elvis

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?

It is important to note that the majority of sexual predators and murderers are males who victimize: pick the most inclusive or the most diverse statement of victim categories:

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.

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.

Our Daily Elvis

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.

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.

BCE to The Suffragettes

 529, Italy – Emperor Justinian I re-wrote Roman Law, making it distinctly Christian and states that all same-sex acts are contrary to nature and punishable by death.

1837, Denmark – The Little Mermaid was written by Hans Christian Andersen (2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875) as a love letter to Edvard Collin (1808-1896).

04-07-1872 – 07-13-1952   Marie Equi – Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts. She was an early American medical doctor that was devoted to caring for the working-class and the 

poor. She had no qualms about providing birth control information and abortions when it was illegal. Equi was also a political activist and advocated civic and economic reforms, including women’s right to vote and an eight-hour workday. Equi was a lesbian and was with Harriet Frances Speckart (Feb.  22, 1883) for more than a decade. They also adopted and raised child together. After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Equi joined a group of doctors and nurses to provide medical care to those injured in the disaster, earning her a commendation from the United States Army. In 1918, Equi was sentenced to three years in prison for speaking against U.S. involvement in WWI. She was the only known lesbian and radical to be incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison. President Wilson commuted her sentence to one year and a day. She served ten months, being released early for good behavior. Equi died in 1952 at the age of 80. Her activist friend, Julia Ruuttila, described her as “a woman of passion and conviction (and) a real friend of the have-nots of this world.” She is buried alongside Harriet Speckart in Portland, Oregon. 

04-07-1889 – 01-10-1957   Gabriela Mistral (b. Lucila Godoy Alcayaga) – Born in Vicuña, Chile. She was a Chilean poet, diplomat, and educator. In 1945, she became the first Latin American author to receive a Nobel 

Prize in Literature, “for her lyric poetry which, inspired by powerful emotions, has made her name a symbol of idealistic aspiration of the entire Latin American world.” It is only through letters written to her “companion” and executor, Doris Dana, that their relationship has come to light. The vast majority of the letters were written between 1948 and 1956. Doris Dana (1920 – 2006), had hidden the letters for almost fifty years. After Dana death in 2006, Dana’s niece donated them to the Chilean National Library. The letters reveal that the women had a romantic relationship, something both women denied. Mistral was also involved with Palma Guillén for about fifteen years. Mistral spent the last nine years of her life with Doris Dana. Gabriela Mistral often reminded Doris Dana, “I have only you in this world.” Note: Gabriela Mistral’s letters are available online at the National Library of Chile and courtesy of the Franciscan Order of Chile.

04-07-1891 – 02-14-1978   Martha May Eliot – Born in 

Boston, Massachusetts. She was a highly recognized pediatrician and specialist in public heath, an assisted director of the World’s Health Organization, and an architect of New Deal and postwar programs for maternal and child health. She, along with researcher Edwards A. Park, established that dietary supplements with vitamin D could prevent and reverse the early onset of rickets. During undergraduate study at 

Bryn Mawr College she met Ethel Collins Dunham, who became her life partner. The couple enrolled together at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1914. From 1921 to 1935, she taught at Yale University’s department of pediatrics. Eliot was responsible for drafting most of the Social Security Act’s language dealing with maternal and child health.

She did. Her book “Le Batarde” was the story of her upbringing as an illegitimate child which she blamed on the sexuality of her mother. She once told a friend she wanted to wear a tight body stocking to hold in her breasts and then attach a “strap on” in order to bed gay writer Jean Genet. In 1968 Radley Metzger made a film of Leduc’s novel Thérèse and Isabelle. The film was a commercial feature about adolescent lesbian love, starring Essy Persson and Anna Gael.

the illegitimate daughter of a servant girl, Berthe Leduc, and André Debaralle, the son of a rich protestant family, who refused to recognize her. After WWI, she was sent to a boarding school where she experienced a lesbian affair with her classmate “Isabelle,” which she later adapted into a novel, Thérèse and Isabelle. In 1968, Radley Metzger made the film based on her novel. In 1925, Leduc had an affair with her music teacher, Denise Hertgès. Their affair was discovered and Hertgès was fired.

Our Daily Elvis

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.

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.

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.

04-06-1882 – 08-11-1972 Rose Schneiderman – Born in Sawin, Congress Poland (Part of the Russian Empire) to a religious Jewish family. In 1890, her family migrated to New York City’s Lower East Side. In 1898, to 

earn money, she worked as a lining stitcher in a cap factory. 1902, she and the rest of her family moved briefly to Montreal, Canada, where she developed an interest in politics and trade unions. In 1903, she returned to New York. She and another worker organized the women in her factory and achieved the first women’s local of the United Cloth Hat and Cap Makers Union. She quickly became a prominent member of the New York Women’s Trade Union League and was a participant in the massive strike of shirtwaist workers in New York City, also known as the Uprising of 20,000, led by the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union in 1909. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, in which 146 (123 women and 23 men) died, dramatized the conditions that Schneiderman, the WTUL, and the 

union movement were fighting. Schneiderman was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union and became friends with Eleanor Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, she was involved in efforts to rescue European Jews. Albert Einstein wrote her: “It must be a source of deep gratification to you to be making so important a contribution to rescuing our persecuted fellow Jews from their calamitous peril and leading them toward a better future.” She was also a member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and helped pass the New York state referendum in 1917 that gave women the right to vote. Schneiderman had a long-term relationship with Maud Farrell Swartz (b.1879), another working class women active in the WTUL, until Swartz’ death in 1937. In 1949, Schneiderman retired from public life and wrote her memoirs, All for One (1967). She died in New York City at the age of ninety. Her obituary in The New York Times stated that she had done “more to upgrade the dignity and living standards of working women than any other American.”

Dass was personally and professionally associated with Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the early 196os. Dass was born to a Jewish family, but considered himself an atheist during his early life. He described himself as, “inured to religion. I didn’t have one whiff of God until I took psychedelics.” In the 1990s, Ram Dass discussed his bisexuality. He stated, “I’ve started to talk more about being bisexual, being involved with men as well as women.”

Ram Dass quote: Treat everyone you meet as if they are God in drag.

Bowers’ book was made into a documentary, Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood. In the film, the gossip columnist, Liz Smith, went on record for the first time to confirm that Hepburn had lesbian relationships. Director of the documentary, Matt Tyrnauer, asked Bowers, “So how gay was Spencer Tracy?” Bowers replied, “He got drunk and thanked the man beside him in the morning for taking care of him.” On June 10, 1967, 17 days after completing the film, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, Tracy died from a heart attack.

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.

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.

In less than four years MCC, the first church with an outreach to gays and lesbians, had grown to 15,000 members in 40 U.S. cities. In Los Angeles, the “mother church,” led by Rev. Troy Perry and located near USC, had 725 members. The presence of Jews at the church was understandable. In 1972 the existence of lesbian and gay Jews was virtually unheard of. It was a time when same-sex activity was illegal, homosexuality was still classified as a mental illness, and to be openly gay or lesbian usually meant loss of employment and rejection by family and Jewish community. The Stonewall Riots in New York’s Greenwich Village, often considered the watershed event in the modern gay liberation movement, had occurred less than three years earlier.Fifteen people came to the first service, held June 9, 1972 in Jerry Gordon’s home.

Affiliated with Reform Judaism, it has been acknowledged by the Los Angeles Conservancy as being “culturally significant” as both the first LGBT synagogue in the world, the first LGBT synagogue recognized by the Union for Reform Judaism and, in 1977, as the first LGBT synagogue to own its own building. In 1973, BCC received a Torah scroll from the town of Chotebor, Czechoslovakia, on permanent loan from Westminster Synagogue in London. It continues to be a cherished guest at BCC.

 1974 – In New York City, more than 1,000 people gather in Greenwich Village to demonstrate support for a gay and lesbian municipal rights ordinance currently under debate in the City Council.

BCE to The Suffragettes

04-03-1791 – 09-22-1840 Anne Lister – Born in Halifax, United Kingdom. She was a rich Yorkshire landowner, diarist, mountaineer, and traveler. Throughout her life, she kept diaries that chronicled the details of her daily life,

 including her lesbian relationships. The entries concerning the intimate details of her romantic and sexual relationships were written in code. The code was a combination of algebra and Ancient Greek and was deciphered in the 1930s. Lister is often called “the first modern lesbian” for her clear self-knowledge and acceptance of being a lesbian. Called “Fred” by her lovers and “Gentleman Jack” by Halifax residents, she did experience harassment for her sexuality. She recognized her similarity to the Ladies of Llangollen (Eleanor Butler & Sarah Ponsonby that lived together for over 50 years) and did visit them. 

Gentleman Jack, created by Sally Wainwright, is a historical television series based on the collected diaries of Lister,

 which contain over four million words and written in secret code, documenting a lifetime of lesbian relationships. The series premiered on April 22, 2019, in the United States. and in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2019. Anne Lister is played by Suranne Jones and Ann Walker, Lister’s love interest, is played by Sophie Rundle.

The court decided the accusation was true and the Marquess was acquitted. Wilde had to pay the Marquess’ legal fees which left him bankrupt.

They were the first gay couple to enter into a registered partnership anywhere in the world following Denmark’s legalization of same-sex partnership registration in 1989, a landmark legislation which they were instrumental in bringing about.

He received an Academy Award for his performance in On The Waterfront. The only musical he made was Guys and Dolls. Brando’s performance in The Godfather won him another Academy Award, which he declined. He boycotted the award ceremony and sent American Indian rights activist Sacheen Littlefeather to state that Brando objected to the depiction of American Indians by Hollywood and television. Brando was known for his many wives and girlfriends. He was the father to eleven children, three of which were adopted. In 1976, he told a French journalist, “Homosexuality is so much in fashion, it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I never paid much attention to what people think about me.” Brando was close friends with Wally Cox and told a journalist: “If Wally had been a woman, I would have married him and we would have lived happily ever after.” In 2018, Richard Pryor’s widow, Jennifer, told TMZ her husband, “had a lot of sex in the 70’s—and it was with both men and women—including Marlon Brando.”

He had left this out of his first book because of the social stigma of being gay and was afraid of how it would affect him personally. In 1976, Bast received the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Allan Poe Award for his television movie The Legend of Lizzie Borden, starring Elizabeth Montgomery in the title role.

BCE to The Suffragettes

1739

George Frideric Handel’s “The Cuckoo and the Nightingale” was written.

1800

Beethoven‘s “Opus 21: Symphony No. 1 in C major” was first performed for Baron von Swieten.

04-02-1805 – 08-04-1875 Hans Christian Andersen – Born in Odense, Denmark. He was a Danish storyteller and playwright. Although a prolific 

writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. His fairy tales have been translated into 125 languages. Some of his most famous fairy tales include: The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, The Ugly Duckling, The Nightingale, and The Emperor’s New Clothes. His stories have inspired plays, ballets, and both live-action and animated films. Andersen fell in love with unattainable women and he certainly experienced same-sex love as well: He wrote to Edvard Colin: “I languish for you as for a pretty Calabrian wrench…my sentiments for you are those of a woman. The femininity of my nature and our friendship must remain a mystery.” He also had infatuations for the Danish dancer Harald Scarf and Carl Alexander, the duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. None of these crushes that he had with women or men resulted into any relationship.

04-02-1884 – 03-29-1965 Adrian-Nilsson Gösta – Born in Lund, Sweden. 

He was a Swedish artist and writer, usually referred to as GAN. GAN was a pioneer of the Swedish modernist art movement. His later works were more towards romanticism, inspired by landscape artist Marcus Larson. In addition to oil paintings, he also did some watercolors, wrote poems, short stories, and children’s books. GAN was gay and many of his works reflect this. He loved sailors, sportsmen, and masculine strength. Because homosexual eroticism was both illegal and taboo in Sweden, GAN was forced 

to live a double life. His diaries give us an insight into what it was like to be a gay man in Sweden. GAN is now considered one of the most significant Swedish artists of the twentieth century. He also is recognized as a bold pioneer in gay art, defying the predominant homophobia of his era.

In the biography, Alec Guinness: The Unknown, by Garry O’Connor, in 1946 Guinness was arrested and fined for a homosexual act in a public restroom in Liverpool. Biographies written after his death claim Guinness was bisexual and that he had kept his sexuality private from the public. Only his closest friends and family members knew he had sexual relationships with men. Guinness died from liver cancer in 2000.

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.
