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.

The last elvis fan screamed at by the Memphis mafia

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.

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:

A) women and other men

B) men and women

C) heterosexual men, heterosexual women and LGBTQ2

D) heterosexual men, heterosexual women, gay/bisexual men, bisexual women, lesbians and NB/Transpersons

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.

BCE to The Suffragettes

1729, France – Admiral comte Pierre André de Suffren de Saint Tropez, bailli de Suffren (July 17, 1729 – December 8, 1788) is born. He was most famous for his campaign in the Indian Ocean in which he fought a series of intense and evenly matched battles for supremacy against the established British power there, led by Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Hughes. Alfred T. Mahan praised Suffren as “a very great man” and evaluated him in terms he usually reserved for praising decisively victorious admirals

1730, Netherlands – In Rotterdam, Leendert de Haas, age 60, candlemaker, Casper Schroder, distiller, and Huibert v. Borselen, gentleman’s servant, were strangled, burnt, and their ashes carried in an ash cart out of the city and then by ship to the sea and thrown overboard during the anti-gay purge. The major anti-gay purge of the eighteenth century occurred in the Netherlands. In April 1730 some men were arrested in Utrecht. They incriminated others, and on June 21^st, the States of Holland issued a Placat, posted in every town, that set off wide-scale persecution. The document began with the customary warnings about the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, then lamented that no laws had heretofore been provided to punish “this execrable crime of sodomy”, and concluded with its measures for obliterating this evil: that sodomy be punished by death, that those who offer their homes for its commission also die, that their corpses be burned to ashes and thrown into the sea “or exposed as unworthy of burial”, that the names of the convicted — including the fugitives — be publicly posted, and that the magistrates be specially authorized to investigate thoroughly any suspicions, particularly against those who mysteriously flee the province. Some 250 men were summoned before the authorities; 91 faced decrees of exile for not appearing. At least 60 men were sentenced to death. The astonishing purges of 1730 were widely reported in the English newspapers (mainly in June and July), and probably sent men running for cover even in England. The English news reports also state that many Dutch sodomites fled to England — where they unfortunately were not accorded the same reception as refugees from religious persecution.

1859, UK – Ernest Rhys (July 17, 1859 – May 25, 1946) is born in London. Rhys was the editor of the Everyman Library, a collection that totaled 967 volumes containing the classics. After he retired, he wrote his autobiography filled with anecdotes about his gay clique including Oscar Wilde.

In the 1920s, she lived in Paris where she photographed many figures from the worlds of literature and the arts, including James Joyce, Fujita, Coco Chanel, and Max Ernst. She also made a significant contribution to LGBT history by photographing lesbians and bisexuals writers such as Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, Sylvia Beach, Bryher, and Janet Flanner. She returned to New York in 1929. In 1935, Abbott moved into Greenwich Village with art critic Elizabeth McCausland. The couple lived together for 30 years until McCausland’s death in 1965. In 1941 she published a Guide to Better Photography. The film Berenice Abbott: A View of the 20th Century, which showed 200 of her black and white photographs, suggests she was a feminist. Before the film was completed she questioned, “The world doesn’t like independent women, why, I don’t know, but I don’t care.”

07-17-1908 – 10-20-2004 Nerina Shute – Born in Prudhoe, Northumberland, United Kingdom. she was an English writer and journalist,

described by the Sunday Times as “the amazingly colourful and bisexual film critic.” She had a mystery female lover, Josephine, and several flirtations with men during the 1930s. While visiting her mother in Rottingdean, Sussex, she met and had an affair with Helen Mayo, one of the first female dental surgeons. Shute married broadcaster, Howard Marshall. The marriage ended after she confessed to him, in 1953, that she was having an affair with their French maid. For twenty-two years she had an affair with celebrated ballroom dancer, Phyllis Taylor, until Taylor’s death in 1981. In 1989, Shute was introduced to artist Jocelyn Williams who became her lover and cared for Shute until her death in 2004. With the publication of Passionate Friendships in 1992, she was able to be open about her own bisexuality. “For many years I have managed to keep my secrets to myself,” she wrote, “protecting the men and women I have loved. Now all my loved ones are dead and no longer vulnerable.”

07-17-1909 – 03-05-2003 Sir Hardy Amies – Born in London, England.

He was an English fashion designer, founder of the Hardy Amies label and best known for his official title as dressmaker for Queen Elizabeth II, from her accession to the throne in 1952 until his retirement in 1989. In 1967, he designed the costumes for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. After his retirement, Amies became more candid about being gay. When speaking of Sir Norman Hartnell, another renowned dressmaker to the Queen, he commented: “It’s quite simple. He was a silly old queen and I’m a clever old queen.” Amies and his partner, Ken Fleetwood, Design Director of Hardy Amies Ltd., were together for forty-three years until Fleetwood’s death in 1996. Amies died at home in 2003 at the age of ninety-three.

In an interview, Walker said, “Mommy wanted a girl, Daddy wanted a boy, now they’re both happy.” He never hid the fact that he was gay and was flamboyant on stage.

BCE to The Suffragettes

1746 – Mary Hamilton disguises herself as a man in order to marry a woman. Mary Hamilton was the subject of a notorious 18th century case of fraud and female cross-dressing, in which Hamilton, under the name of Charles, duped a woman into supposed marriage. She was arrested, charged with fraud, publicly whipped, and imprisoned for six months. While the surviving records of the case indicate that Hamilton was only prosecuted for deceiving one woman into marriage, newspaper reports at the time claimed that there had been 14 marriages in all.

07-16-1907 – 01-20-1990 Barbara Stanwyck – Born in Brooklyn, New York. She was an American actress that had a 60-year career in both film and

During the late-1920s, Stanwyck taught dance at a gay and lesbian speakeasy owned by lesbian, Texas Guinan. Tallulah Bankhead once said she slept with Stanwyck. Biographer Axel Madsen says “unearthing the truth about Stanwyck’s sexuality would remain impossible,” but also notes “people would swear she was…Hollywood’s biggest closeted lesbian.” Also, most historians agree that her marriages to Frank Fay

and Robert Taylor were studio-backed “lavender marriages” created to keep the closet sealed tight. Stanwyck also refused to discuss her own sexuality. Her most consistent relationship was with publicist Helen Ferguson. Ferguson was with Stanwyck for most of her career, sometimes living with her. Stanwyck died in 1990 of congestive heart failure at the age of 82.

BCE to The Suffragettes

100 BC, Italy – Caius Julius Caesar (July 13, 100 BC – March, 15, 44 BC), is born in Rome. He had an affair with Nicomedes IV of Bithynia early in his career according to some historians. The tales were repeated, referring to Caesar as the Queen of Bithynia by some Roman politicians as a way to humiliate him. Catullus wrote two poems suggesting that Caesar and his engineer Mamurra were lovers, but later apologized. Mark Antony charged that Octavian had earned his adoption by Caesar through sexual favors. Suetonius described Antony’s accusation of an affair with Octavian as political slander. Octavian eventually became the first Roman Emperor as Augustus.

1863 – Mary Emma Woolley (July 13, 1863 – September 5, 1947) is born today. She was an American educator, peace activist and women’s suffrage supporter. She was the first female student to attend Brown University and served as the 11th President of Mount Holyoke College from 1900 to 1937. She taught at Wheaton Seminary and at Wellesley College, then served as the 11th President of Mount Holyoke College from 1900-1937.

Woolley met Jeannette Augustus Marks, then a student at Wellesley. Beginning in 1899, the two women lived in a life-partnership for fifty-five years. At the age of 38, Woolley became the 11th President of Mount Holyoke College, one of the youngest college presidents in the United States. She stayed in that position from 1900 to 1937. After her retirement, Woolley remained an active social advocate and spent much of her time lecturing. On September 30, 1944, she suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage which partially paralyzed her. She spent the final three years of her life in a wheelchair and Marks cared for her until her death in 1947.

1888 – According to an article in Ohio’s Springfield Daily Republic, James Chesser marries George Ann Holly who is actually one George Burton, discovered to be a male person after a medical exam. They are a young interracial couple living in Fort Smith, Arkansas from May to July of 1888. Both men were charged with sodomy. This is thought to be the first case where two men were duly married to one another.

On August 26, 1970, accompanied by numerous other women, she put flowers under the Arc de Triomphe to honor the wife of The Unknown Soldier; this symbolic action was considered to be the founding event of French feminism. Wittig was one of the first feminist theorists to interrogate heterosexuality as not just sexuality, but as a political regime. Defining herself as a radical lesbian, she and other lesbians during the early 1980s in France and Quebec reached a consensus that “radical lesbianism” posits heterosexuality as a political regime that must be overthrown.

1550, Italy – Jacopo Bonfadio (c. 1508 – July 1550) is tried and beheaded for sodomy, most likely because he published gossipy accounts of wealthy Genoese families.

1775, UK – Matthew Gregory Lewis (9 July 1775 – 16 May 1818) is born. He was an English novelistand dramatist, often referred to as “Monk” Lewis because of the success of his 1796 Gothic novel, The Monk. Silly, stilted, and great fun to read, the genre was the high camp of its day. His most famous work was Ambrosio, The Monkwritten in 1795. Like most Gothic novels, it takes place in a Latin country. In this case in a monastery where Ambrosio, the head of the order, meets Matilda. She sneaks into his bed disguised as a man and quickly reveals she is a woman. After humping him into a frenzy he turns into a satyr and can’t get enough. In real life, Lewis was in love with a 14-year-old boy who brought him nothing but misery.

While stationed in Berlin as a journalist, in 1932, she met and fell in love with Christa Winsloe. Thompson wrote, “So it has happened to me again, after all these years.” She remembered two earlier times when she had been attracted to a woman. Thompson saw herself as heterosexual and wondered how to explain that once again she felt “the strange, soft feeling…of being at home, and at rest; an enveloping warmth and sweetness.” Yet, she wrote, “I love this woman.” During the next two years, the women became inseparable companions. Although Thompson’s volatile marriage to Sinclair Lewis continued during this relationship, many friends viewed the two women as a couple: “If you asked Dorothy to dinner, you asked Christa, too,” one recalled. Winsloe’s letters remained in her files for the rest of her life. She made no attempt to censor or explain them. Thompson did marry a third time. In 1934, she was expelled from Nazi Germany.

LGB T July 10

BCE to The Suffragettes

07-10-1640 – 04-16-1689 Aphra Behn – Born in Canterbury, United Kingdom. She was a British playwright, poet, translator, and fiction writer. Behn was one of the first women to earn her living

writing. She broke cultural barriers and served as a literary role model for generations of women authors. Homoeroticism is often found in Behn’s verse, including male to male relationships or in portrayals of her own attractions to women. Behn was married and widowed early, and as a mature woman, her primary publicly acknowledged relationship was with John Hoyle, who was gay. She is famously remembered in Virginia Woolf’s, A Room of One’s Own: “All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn which is, most scandalously but rather appropriately Westminster Abbey, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.”

07-10-1871 – 11-18-1922 Marcel Proust – Born in Auteuil, France. Proust was a novelist, essayist, and critic. He was a closeted homosexual. He was one of the first European novelists to mention homosexuality openly and at length. In Search of Lost Time, he discusses homosexuality and features several principal characters, both males and females, that are either homosexual or bisexual.

1909 – The book Road to Oz, the fifth in the Oz series by L. Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919) is published. In gay slang, a “friend of Dorothy” is a term for a gay man. While the precise origin of the term is unknown, some believe it is derived from this book. The book introduces readers to Polychrome who, upon meeting Dorothy’s traveling companions, exclaims, “You have some queer friends, Dorothy,” and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.” More commonly, “friend of Dorothy” refers to the film “The Wizard of Oz” because Judy Garland, who starred as the main character Dorothy, is a gay icon. In the early 1980s, the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) was investigating homosexuality in Chicago. Having heard gay men refer to themselves as “friends of Dorothy,” the NIS went on a futile search for the elusive woman clearly at the center of a homosexual ring.

07-10-1931 – 12-26-2019 Jerry Herman – Born in Manhattan and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey by middle-class Jewish parents.

In 1985 Herman was diagnosed HIV-positive. His life-partner at the time, Martin Finkelstein, died of AIDS in 1990. In 1996, Herman’s memoir, Showtune, was published. Herman was openly gay and at the time of his death was with real estate broker, Terry Marler.

1932 – American actor Nick Adams (July 10, 1931 – February 7, 1968) is born on this day. The blonde actor usually played neurotics or comic sidekick roles (such as Andy Griffith’s friend Ben in No Time For Sergeants). Before he got into acting, Adams was a well-known Hollywood hustler with reputation for having the biggest man-part in town. He was the roommate of James Dean (February 8, 1931 – September 30, 1955) and friend of Elvis Presley. . and his reported drug consumption made his private life the subject of many reports and assertions by some writers who have claimed Adams may have been gay or bisexual. Adams tragically took his own life at age 36 in 1968, shortly after Elvis’ marriage and birth of daughter Lisa Marie.

Feminist, Gay Liberation and Lesbian Separatists: Civil Rights

1970 – The Austrian Parliament decriminalizes homosexual acts between consenting adults.

The national organization of Daughters of Bilitis is disbanded. Local chapters are free to continue as independent entities. The Daughters of Bilitis was the first lesbian rights organization in the United States. The organization, founded in 1955 by Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon in San Francisco, was conceived as a social alternative to lesbian bars which were subject to raids and police harassment. As the DOB gained members, their focus shifted to providing support to women who were afraid to come out. The DOB educated them about their rights and about gay history. The historian Lillian Faderman declared, “Its very establishment in the midst of witch-hunts and police harassment was an act of courage, since members always had to fear that they were under attack, not because of what they did, but merely because of who they were.” The Daughters of Bilitis endured for 14 years, becoming an educational resource for lesbians, gay men, researchers and mental health professionals. Bilitis is the name given to a fictional lesbian contemporary of Sappho by the French poet Pierre Louÿs in his 1894 work The Songs of Bilitis in which Bilitis lives on the Isle of Lesbos alongside Sappho.

Jim Foster and Madeleine Davis are the first openly gay and lesbian people to address a major party presidential nominating convention, the Democratic National Convention, held in Miami Beach, Florida. They called upon the party to add a gay rights plank to the platform. The plank was defeated. Jim Foster (November 19, 1934 – October 31, 1990) was an American LGBT rights and Democratic activist. He became active in the early gay rights movement when he moved to San Francisco following his undesirable discharge from the Army in 1959 for being homosexual. Foster co-founded the Society for Individual Rights (SIR), an early homophile organization, in 1964. U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein credits SIR and the gay vote with generating her margin of victory in her election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1969. Madeleine Davis (born 1940) is a noted gay rights activist. In 1970 she was a founding member of the Mattachine Society of the Niagara Frontier, the first gay rights organization in Western New York.

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.
