“My dad was a real charmer, a salesman. My mother wouldn’t admit it, but he had tons of ladies, tons of affairs on the road and — get this, I just found this out — he had affairs with men too.”

She rewrote the words to “Wait till the Sun Shines Nellie.” Her version went “Wait till your son turns nelly, and the neighbors start to talk.” The last line was “Gay is grand!”

'Tis the season for spooky movie history - and here's a wonderful longform video essay on #JamesWhale , director of #Frankenstein , #BrideOfFrankenstein , and more.

@mattbaume focuses particularly on #QueerHistory in entertainment, so if that's a thing you are interested in, plenty to learn here.

It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I'd been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here. James Baldwin #BookSky #QueerHistory

I found this interesting video about perceptions of homosexuality in America right before the revolution. This is about a chaplain in the British army, and I was king of Sweden, but the similarities are obvious.

Attending (virtually) the Queering Wikipedia conference, happening today and tomorrow. (Pre-registration was required.)

1) The speakers are 🔥 !
2) Queer Wiki editors, and content, are under increased attack.
3) Responses from the Wikimedia Foundation have been, at their best, disheartening.

Perhaps I was naïve to hope that there would be some positive outcome, or even a constructive lesson learned, or that either of these characters would find some measure of reconciliation between #queer identity and the demands of society.

“None whatsoever,” responded Wilde.

All people want the same thing: to live their lives authentically, love without judgment, raise their families, walk their dogs, volunteer at the food bank, and enjoy a night out at the movies. They simply want to belong and live free from fear, shame, or violence.

Few love stories have stood the tests of time with knowledge of their glory, sanctity and eventual tragedy intact, and fewer still end in a dramatic deification and the founding of an entire city.
