Harvey Milk made some incredible strides forward towards equality with his vital work, but, even in 2023, there are still many more miles still to go when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights across the world...
The many death threats that Harvey Milk received didn't stop him from advancing the concept of equal rights. His bold and outspoken message was an incredible show of bravery.
Hi @davidhogg111 The person you are wrongly targeting with chants of “vote her out” is the same person on November 27, 1978, who held #HarveyMilk in her arms, trying to stop the bleeding after he’d been shot. Do you know the story? Let me explain it to you...
2. Harvey Milk was the FIRST elected openly gay official, sitting on the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco. A deranged man who was full of hate shot & killed Milk and another. He barely missed Dianne Feinstein, who stayed with Milk until an ambulance took his body away
Bueno, «locas, mariconas», ahora que ya ha empezado el mes del #Orgullo voy a contaros la historia de los #MariconesDeAntaño que montaron la primera manifestación en nuestro país, el 26 de julio de 1977 en Barcelona, y lo que pasó en ella. ¡Hilo va!
Antes de empezar quiero recordaros qué cosas habían pasado desde que nació el «movimiento #LGTB» en España hasta que se produjo esta mani. Para ello es imprescindible conocer a nuestro primer activista: Armand de Fluvià. Ya os hablé una vez sobre él:
En 1975 muere Franco, y el antiguo Movimiento Español de Liberación Homosexual (MELH) decide convertirse en algo diferente: el @fagc_catalunya. El movimiento #LGTB sale de la clandestinidad y quiere ser un movimiento de masas que agrupe a más gente que un concierto de Beyoncé.
