March 31, 1776: In a letter to her husband, Founding Father John Adams, future first lady Abigail Adams makes a plea to him and the Continental Congress to “remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”
July 19-20, 1848: In the first women’s rights convention organized by women, the Seneca Falls Convention is held in New York, with 300 attendees, including organizers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Sixty-eight women and 32 men (including Frederick Douglass) sign the Declaration of Sentiments, which sparked decades of activism, eventually leading to the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote.
January 23, 1849: Elizabeth Blackwell becomes the first woman to graduate from medical school and become a doctor in the United States. Born in Bristol, England, she graduated from Geneva College in New York with the highest grades in her entire class.

When Donald Trump was elected president, I was thrown for a loop. Over the next few years I watched as the world showed itself to be as it was behind closed doors. I’m one of the lucky ones, I’m a gay male in Nj who dealt with bullshit but the majority of my experience has been nurturing, accepting and good.
My family and friends accepted me, not all relationships were easy, but I knew I was loved. I always knew there were people out there who hated queer people, I knew it was dangerous for us in many scenarios and just needed to be aware of surroundings and present and I could adapt.
In the circles I existed in, even the people who objected to my sexuality tended to just be cold and not aggressive, in general.

Indigenous American two-spirit people were male, female, and sometimes intersexed individuals who combined activities of both men and women with traits unique to their status as two-spirit people. In most tribes, they were considered neither men nor women; they occupied a distinct, alternative gender status. But modern European Americans can’t even wrap the concept of preferred pronouns around their minds.
Two-spirit identity was widely believed to be the result of supernatural intervention in the form of visions or dreams and sanctioned by tribal mythology. In many tribes, two spirit people filled special religious roles as healers, shamans, and ceremonial leaders.
The term Two-Spirit is a direct translation of the Ojibwe term, Niizh manidoowag. “Two-Spirited” or “Two-Spirit” is usually used to indicate a person whose body simultaneously houses a masculine spirit and a feminine spirit.

My coming out story.

My father still claims, 23 years after I came out, that he never knew I was gay until that postcard from the gay bar with me on it came to the house.

I came out at 21 to family not by choice. I was a NY club kid and it was 2000.
I was a wild boy back then, drove into the city every Thursday evening and came home Sunday afternoon. Tunnel, Limelight, Twilo, Roxy, Webster Hall……after parties till 8 am. Hanging with famous people, Britney’s backup dancers and pretty model boys. It was a thing. And… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
On occasion I would end up in local NY and queer magazines. One night at Tunnel, the Kurfew party, I was photographed while sucking a blowpop and rolling my ass off on ecstasy and cocaine. I was super skinny and looked like shit. That image was used on a promo postcard and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
