Today's book is 'A Practical Guide to Searching LGBTQIA Historical Records' by Norena Shopland, published in 2021.
This book is very great for researching LGBTQ+ history. This is a useful handbook for any researcher and a favourite book of mine when researching LGBTQ+ history. Each section showcases examples found in newspaper archives, libraries, museums and so on. If you are unsure how to search for LGBTQ+ historical documents, this book shows how to use Boolean commands to search online archives and shows you how to use other methods to find any LGBTQ+ historical documents. One of my favourite research books!
Have you read this book?

Creating the Transgender Flag
So today I'll be talking about the history and creation of the trans flag! This will probably be a shorter post but still equally as important of course
The transgender flag was originally created by Monica Helms, a trans woman from America, in 1999. She got the idea from Micheal Page who had created the bisexual flag a year earlier. Helms describes the meaning of each stripe in the flag as:
"The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender."
- Monica Helms
The original flag (pictured below) was later donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in 2014 by Helms.
Later on, in 2019, Helms published a book in which she expresses shock that her flag design has been adopted so wholeheartedly by the trans community. I'd like to end off this post with that quote.
The speed with which the flag’s usage spread never fails to surprise me, and every time I see it, or a photo of it, flying above a historic town hall or building I am filled with pride.
- Monica Helms

brought to you by "The Myth of Lesbian Impunity: Capital Laws from 1270 to 1791" by Louis Crompton
when you first start studying queer history: sapphic acts have basically never been criminalized in any western society! so queer women have always had it easier than queer men!
when you delve even the slightest bit deeper: why do we still believe this
(OP cannot control who does and does not reblog this post, but she firmly believes that trans women are women)
#history#lesbian#lgbt#queer history#queer#could it be...misogyny?#of earlier historians not caring enough about women to delve into legal cases concerning us?#and of a long tradition of 'women have it easy in society' fallacies?#I believed this too! for the record! nobody ever gave me reason to question it and I am a PROFESSIONAL HISTORY WORKER!

Honestly, gotta thank hbomberguy for doing the research that the casual consumers of these videos (me) cannot/will not do.
Don't feel bad for falling for these people's plagiarism.
It could've happened to anyone. Not all of us are journalists.
I am gonna check out the original sources for the videos I really liked from these creators tho.
P.d, IF YOU STEAL OR IF YOU BORROWWW (live and learn), YOU WILL NEVER FIND YOUR WAAAAAYYYYYYY [Live and Learn, Crush 40, Sonic Adventure 2]

Yes, aeoace people that don't fit the stereotype do exist. I'm just not one of them. Instead for thinking about romance or sex I think about academic research or sth. Analysis is sex for me.

Unfinished Painting
The artwork titled 'Unfinished Painting' (pictured above) was created by Keith Haring in 1989. The purpose of the piece is to reflect the lives cut short by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It represents the lost potential of those who died from the disease and the lack of care for it.
This disease disproportionately affects queer men like Haring. Due to this it wasn't taken seriously enough by governments, particularly in America. Keith Haring himself later died due to complications related to HIV/AIDS in 1990, just a year after he created the painting.
I find this painting and it's background extremely compelling. There is a whole generation of queer people, particularly AMAB, who are gone because of the negligence of governments and healthcare systems. They could have done so much but their lives were cut short in a cruel act of erasure.

Museum Exhibit I'd Like To Curate:
"Never Married; Best Friends- Erasure, Discovery, and the Work of Queer Historians"
(shocker: we're not all straight/cis and we're not all out to erase queer history at every turn. never have been. of course, that doesn't mean queer historians have never been complicit in erasure, for safety reasons or personal bias against another letter of the acronym or what have you. I'd love to explore that- and our contributions to the queer history field -in greater depth)
#queer#lgbt#queer history#I get kind of frustrated at the 'historians will call them roommates' attitude in pop culture I admit#as a queer history worker myself#I literally tabled at a queer history event in June guys. come on. it's not the 1950s anymore; erasure still happens at times but...#also Anne Lister's letters were almost burned by her much-later relative who decoded them...#...probably because he was gay himself and the idea of something like that 'in the family' would have brought suspicion onto him#there's speculation that the man who encouraged him to do so was his lover. thankfully he just walled them up instead

so weird to me that there persists this meme of academics as being gleeful censors of queer and lgbt history (a la “haha and historians will say they are roommates”) when you actually pick up contemporary histories and they’re all like “yeah this woman wrote love letters to those she called her friends but knowing the context of coded language these people were probably her lovers” - very obvious to me that a lot of thought about history was shaped by a surface reading of perhaps one textbook during high school and never again!
#like I also give a shit about making sure that we talk about lgbt people within the terms they would have used in their day#I just think the common meme of ‘and historians will say they’re roommates’ is tilting at windmills#and also takes joy in being ill informed
