Late for the revolution

According to NCADV, 4 in 10 people have experienced some kind of coercive control from an intimate partner. Sadly, #MaybeSheDoesntHitYou is raising much-needed awareness for a widespread problem.

Let’s give a moment of thought to the sapphic lovers who made a home with each other and were remembered as good friends. To the transgender women who snuck out at night and breathed in the city air as their true selves but always made it home before sunrise. To the men who held their loves hand when they were able to scavenge moments alone. To all of the forgotten faces and stories. To all the grand moments that will never be written in history books. Tonight is dedicated to you, our forgotten family.

Remnants of the British Black Panther’s Lost Legacy

Bunce said it was not just politicians, but wider British society that would rather not dwell on the less palatable.

“It was a tsunami. In April of ’82 there was an article in the New York Times about a new gay cancer, and everyone thought ‘oh well.’ I was in my twenties. I wasn’t worried about a thing. But then every week you started to hear about somebody becoming ill. My boss was one of the first. He was a famous florist. He went into the hospital on Thanksgiving and was dead by Easter. I lost most of my friends. A lot of the first men to die were privileged. They were closeted, corporate white men. During the day they were bankers but at night they’d hit the leather clubs and bars. But they learned their privilege didn’t matter after they got sick. They were just ‘gay.’ We had to fight for AIDS to be recognized by the government. We joined together with people of color, and junkies, and prostitutes. It was a beautiful thing, really. Our feminist lesbian sisters taught us how to protest because they’d been doing it for decades. They showed us how to organize meetings, and bring people together, and force the government to the table—things we’d never had to think about as white men.”
