“HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY from QUEER NATION!,” Queer Nation/Seattle members outside Ingraham High School, Seattle, Washington, February 14, 1991. Photo by M. McCauslin. . On February 14, 1991, twenty-six years ago today, Jonathan Darci and approximately twelve other members of Queer Nation/Seattle staged a Valentine’s Day action outside a local high school. As the Seattle Times explained, the group “targeted Valentine’s Day, which they consider an oppressive occasion, to draw attention to the alienation and loneliness many homosexuals feel as most people around them celebrate heterosexual love and romance.” . As they “[g]athered outside the school’s main entrance as school let out for the day,” the Times continued, “Darci and other members from Queer Nation gave students fliers urging heterosexuals to ‘tell all your friends that it’s OK with you if any of them are lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Let it be known that you’re not homophobic and that you accept people as they are.’” . Queer Nation also wanted to lend support to students who may have had questions about their sexuality. . “If you’re not sure what your feelings mean or you’re hiding your sexuality and pretending to be straight, as most gay and lesbian youth do, you feel even more isolated than other days,” Darci said. “It's like icing on the cake of your oppression.” #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #QueerNation #Resist (at Seattle, Washington)

Today I am grateful for the Stonewall uprising, for 50 years of LGBTQ visibility and the demand for equal rights, for the fact that I can proudly live my life as an openly gay man with my husband of 20 years, and for the opportunity to support everyone in the LGBTQ community with love, respect, encouragement and their right to a happy and full life free of discrimination and persecution. #ActUp #QueerNation ❤️🏳️‍🌈💪 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzS2b7QB2jY/?igshid=10pfa3zjk9vb0
