Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just words, but the keys that opened doors and kept many of us safe, not just in our jobs and homes but also in the streets. These principles, when implemented through policy and law, have created tangible protections that transformed lives.

"The king claimed Heaven had moved his heart to loathe the custom of women loving women. Perhaps these women were moved by a less lofty and more abiding power to be so constant in their loving intimacy with each other."

This is a calculated attempt to erase women, POC, indigenous people, and the #LGBTQ+ community from history and society.
And it will fail.
But how much damage will it inflict in the meantime?

The Stonewall Uprising has become a kind of queer origin myth, trotted out every June and waved around like the rainbow flag — a story recited with near-religious cadence, as though we all agreed on how it happened.

A superb documentary film, Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln, makes a strong case that America actually reached that milestone 175 years ago, that, on the precipice of civil war, American voters put a queer president in the White House.

Accusations of grooming leveled against trans people are no different to the arguments Anita Bryant made when she said gay people were “recruiting” kids to join their ranks.

As is the case with much of #queerhistory, Manion notes that archival evidence of these gender nonconforming couples resides in the media interest sparked when they were outed.
Outing might have been aggressive, but Manion’s work also shows that this didn’t necessarily put a stop to people seeking these pairings: ‘I accessed the last surviving copy of a newspaper that allowed me to confirm that two different female husband cases involved the same person!’

This #ThrowbackThursday we’re zooming our #transhistory lens onto the topic of female husbands and people assigned female at birth who dressed in male attire, lived as men, and loved women.
First, let’s turn to Jen Manion’s Female Husbands, focused on 18th and 19th century couples in which the husbands were assigned female at birth.

Musical Interlude: I just learned today that the late folk legend Dave van Ronk was among those arrested at the Stonewall Riots. He hadn't been at the Stonewall Inn, but had been at a diner down the street and walked down to see what the hoo-ha was about. Once he realized what was going on, he gleefully joined in throwing bricks at the police. That, my friends, is an ally.
"He Was a Friend of Mine," performed by Dave van Ronk.

"It’s easy to lionize courage. It’s harder to reconcile it with queerness — especially when you’re a country still unsure how to celebrate a gay man without special qualifiers. In the aftermath of 9/11, Mark was praised as a patriot. But he was rarely acknowledged as a gay patriot.
...
Because to some, queerness complicates the hero archetype.
It shouldn’t.
But it does."

Mark Bingham saved lives. But his sexuality made his story harder for America to embrace. And so it did what it always does when queerness challenges its myths: it trimmed the truth down to something more comfortable. More palatable. More straight.
