Queer History – time for a little journey through time
Howdy Space Cowboy!
Do you actually know when International Drag Day is? Do you know Magnus Hirschfeld, the pioneer of the gay rights movement? No? Then you’re not alone. Historically speaking, homosexuality has a long history, but many reports from the queer past are anything but pretty. But we think they are too important to be forgotten. If you want to experience history lessons in a very special way and on an important topic, you’ve come to the right place.
The Stonewall Riots of 1969
We’ll tell you all about the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and fill your calendar with important dates such as International Day Against Homophobia. Our queer community is colourful, diverse and constantly changing. The Stonewall Riots are considered a turning point in the history of the LGBTQ+ movement. Learn how courageous individuals fought against discrimination and police violence, paving the way for modern Pride events.
Important pioneers and their contributions
Magnus Hirschfeld is just one of many important pioneers who fought for the rights of LGBTQ+ people. In 1897, Hirschfeld founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, the first organisation in the world to campaign for the rights of homosexual and transgender people. His work laid the foundations for many of the advances we see today. Our Queer History section also highlights other important figures and their contributions to the community.
Important awareness days and Pride events
So it’s no wonder that you can’t remember every day of honour and simply don’t know everything. This is no reason for false shame, nobody is omniscient. We have created this queer history section so that you know the most important hanky codes at the next celebration and can show off your knowledge of Tom of Finland. Looking for knowledge? We’ve got it. Stay part of the community so you always get the latest updates in the magazine and know when the next big Pride event or an important awareness day is coming up.
The diversity of queer history
Our queer community is diverse and so is its history. From ancient cultures where same-sex relationships were accepted to the struggles and triumphs of the modern LGBTQ+ movement, queer history encompasses an impressive range of events and personalities. In our Queer History blog, you can dive deep into this fascinating history and learn how far we’ve come and how much remains to be done.
