Did you know? I am sure you did not know that the first High Five on Oct 2nd 1977 was done by Glenn Burke while playing for the Dodgers. He was among the first professional athletes coming out as gay. His teammate Dusty Baker scored his 30th home run for the season. Burke ran on the field to congratulate and rose his hand over his head and Baker slapped it. So yes, high fives are gay. #queerhistory #queer #gay #history

History / Hemphill + Rivera Essex Hemphill wrote in the teeth of a plague, when the men in pulpits called the dying deserved. Thirty-four years later a pastor recycles the same machinery. We kept reaching for each other anyway. The fear was theirs. The tenderness was ours. https://twp.ai/4hs7C0 #QueerHistory #EssexHemphill #SylviaRivera #Stonewall #LGBTQHistory #Pride #Poetry #QueerPoets #ThistleAndMoss #TheGathering

"If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it." — José Sarria. He ran for office in 1961 while his city arrested people like him. Got 5,613 votes. Sang them out the door every Sunday. That sound is still moving through the air. You are part of that frequency. https://twp.ai/4hr1bh #JoséSarria #QueerHistory #SilenceIsDanger #DragHistory #SanFrancisco #Resistance #Trans #Queer #LGBTQIA+

The administration calls it a "little detour." One hundred seventy-four civilians dead. Twenty-five billion dollars. Zero congressional votes. When the past RNC chair calls it war crimes, you're not reading partisan screed—you're reading a smoke alarm. The land is keeping score. It always has. https://twp.ai/4hr1bc #Politics #War #Accountability #QueerHistory #ClimateJustice #Resistance #VotingRights #ClimateScience #SCOTUS #Democracy #TransRights #Trans #Queer #LGBTQIA+

Arnold Dahl-Wooley drove a truck for 19 years teaching Two-Spirit identity. Now he has a brick-and-mortar center in Bemidji. The kleptocrats erased Two-Spirit from federal databases. They can’t erase a building with a doorknob. Read the full reckoning here: https://twp.ai/4hr4K0 Tha do chorp a’ cuimhneachadh. Your body remembers. #TwoSpirit #QueerHistory #CommunityBuilding #DruidPath

Frida painted 143 works from a bed she couldn't leave. Tennessee Williams wrote 30 plays while gay in the South. Saeed Jones won the Kirkus Prize. They made beauty while the world told them not to. The thread doesn't break; it changes hands. From Stonewall to the Equality Act passing the House in 2025, we inherit the practice. Keep going. The work outlives the noise. #FridaKahlo #TennesseeWilliams #QueerHistory #Resilience #Art #Literature #EqualityAct #History https://twp.ai/9OUqJk
