Can bi tumblr stop spreading that lie that a bisexual trans woman started pride.
If you want to feel so important why not do something for the bisexual community .like um have a proud to be bisexual day.
Instead of trying to erase lesbians and gay men from history.
Seriously is your self worth so low that you must steal things from lesbians and gays to make yourself important?

Have some pride in yourselves

Uh pride started with Stonewall, which was a community effort. Without that there would be no pride.

You’re clearly unable to critique popular LGBTQ history without showing your rampant biphobia.

There were no bisexuals that started pride so guess what we would still have it nice try.
Why not do something for your community instead of trying to steal shit how about that.

PRIDE. WAS STARTED. TO. COMMEMORATE. STONEWALL.

PRIDE. WAS STARTED. TO. COMMEMORATE. STONEWALL.

You know, when we talk about bi exclusion from queer spaces, “get your own pride!” is exactly the kind of bullshit we’re talking about. You are literally telling queer people they’re not welcome at Pride events.

Um. 

Brenda Howard, who was at the Stonewall riot and who organized the first Pride march to commemorate Stonewall, was bisexual. She is also known as the Mother of Pride. 

Please at least research your hatred so you don’t end up with egg on your face like this.

“I studied art in Florence, that’s why I thought a lot about the meaning of this painting and I thought she’s the perfect woman. So, I talked to myself ‘Why not?’ Why can’t I be Botticelli’s Venus? I can be perfect even with all my imperfections. In the end, all women can represent this figure.”

Happy Pride Month Eleanor Roosevelt was queer, the Little Mermaid is a gay love story, James Dean liked men, Emily Dickinson was a lesbian, Nikola Tesla was asexual, Freddie Mercury was bisexual & British Indian, and black trans women pioneered the gay rights movement.

Florence Nightingale was a lesbian, Leonardo da Vinci was gay, Michelangelo too, Jane Austen liked women, Hatshepsut was not cisgender, and Alexander the Great was a power bottom

Honestly just reblogging for that last one

Probably not historically backed but fuck yes

Eleanor Roosevelt wrote love letters to Lorena Hickok

Love letters Hans Christian Anderson wrote to Edvard Collin contain elements that appeared in The Little Mermaid, which he was writing at the same time

Several people who knew James Dean have talked about his relationships with men 

Letters and poems allude to a romance between Emily Dickinson and at least two women 

Nikola Tesla was adverse to touch. He said he fell in love with one women but never touched her and didn’t want to get married 

Freddie Mercury is well known for his attraction to men but was also linked to several women, including Barbara Valentin whom he lived with shortly before he died. Friends have talked about being invited into their bed and walking in on them having sex (documentary Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender) 

Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera are two of the best-known activists who fought in the Stonewall riots

Florence Nightingale refused 4 marriage proposals and her letters and memoir suggest a love for women 

Leonardo da Vinci never married or fathered children, was once brought up on sodomy charges, and a sketch in one of his notebooks is 2 penises walking toward a hole labeled with the nickname of his apprentice 

Condivi said that Michelangelo often spoke exclusively of masculine love

Jane Austin never married and wrote about sharing a bed with women (Jane Austen At Home: A Biography by Lucy Worsley)

Hatshepsut took the male title Pharaoh (instead of Queen Regent) and is depicted in art from the time the same way a male Pharaoh would have been

“Alexander was only defeated once…and that was by Hephaestion’s thighs.” is a 2,000 year old quote

So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history. 

Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service. 

This is really great??
