(53,959 posts)I just thought of historical things about the GLBT community I know. So, it is just random, so to speak. However, and this was news to me, there is an actual site: http://www.lgbthistorymonth.com/ , it looks to have some good info, but the navigation is a bit odd.

All answers are available where?
Behind the Aegis
(53,959 posts)I am not meaning to sound like a smart ass, I just didn't pick these from a site. These are all things I know which are related to our history, so it is just a random selection. However, you can check out http://www.lgbthistorymonth.com/ for some of the answers. (Wiki gives some really good info on the first two.)

(19,964 posts)"How many states can still legally discriminate"? I did make a list of them at one time but I've forgotten.

(14,498 posts)Mostly just got a lot of grief from the drooling neanderthal slobs that ran my bldg and a bureaucratic runaround from the hack NYC DOE agency that's supposed to protect people from homophobia in the school system.
Don't look now, but we're going the wrong way.

(17,997 posts)Page on Facebook. Actually, I had one of my own and I helped on another.
My favorite thing on the one page, that I only did for awhile before I left Facebook, was Today In Gay History
