Could you do a historical profile on Sally Ride? She was the first american woman in space. It wasnt revealed till after her death that she was lesbian when her partner wrote her obituary. She broke through a lot of glass ceilings and faced sexism in the sciences every day. She is a huge role model for me, but I am finding that more and more people have forgotten who she was.

If you ever make another video on Historic LGBTQ+ people(which I'm sure you will), you might want to include Julie D'aubigny. She was an opera singer in the 17th century and openly bisexual. She also cross-dressed. Julie was never afraid to get into a sword duel over a cute lady(or lad) and, when questioned about her true gender, would rip open her shirt and fight with her breasts out. In order to provoke a fight, she would often shout taunts to the men in question. And she's also proof that non-straight people can be religious. Absolute legend.

I finished high school last year and started the History GCSE in 2018 when I began the course and had known of Jex Bake before then. Also Queen Elizabeth I was probably ace, famously never married, maybe had a romantic relationship or 2 and unknown whether or not she was virgin and she is obviously on the curriculum (one of if not the greatest of English monarchs).

Number 11: Jessica Kellgren-Fozard, fabulous gay and disability rights/education activist, and lover of vintage fashion. Despite suffering severe health challenges throughout her life, and a worsening of her condition during the 2020 Pride Month, Jessica continually perseveres to bring her audience enjoyable, beautiful and well-researched videos that advocate for love and compassion for all people. She brings a ray of sunshine into the lives of all who see her, and is likely to do even greater things as she continues to follow her ambitions.

I feel like everyone should know about Mark Ashton, he was truly great man who died too young and could have done so much more. Mark was a political and civil rights activist, ever since he got into politics as a teenager he helped to fight for the rights of anyone being oppressed whether that be by their employer, the government or both. In 1984 a few months into the miners strike it was becoming more and more obvious to him that there were similarities in the way the government were treating the miners and their families and the way the government treated LGBT people. At the 1984 London Pride March he and his friend Mike Jackson carried buckets asking for donations to help support the miners and their families. Shortly after the march the group Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners was formed, the group spent the next year raising money to help buy food, clothes, pay bills and pay the bail of people who were being wrongly arrested on the picket lines in the Dulais Valley, South Wales. They raised approximately £20,000 over that year. When the strike ended the miners and their families didn't forget the support they had received from them and at the 1985 London Pride March the miners and their families came to London and alongside LGSM they led the march that year, it was one of the first times that such a large amount of straight people marched in solidarity with the LGBT community at the London Pride March. The miners further supported the LGBT community after that by helping to push motions raised at the Labour Party Conference to enshrine gay and lesbian rights into their manifesto, something which although it had been raised before and getting denied, finally passed. Mark continued to fight for other workers rights over the next couple of years and while standing on the picket lines alongside print workers in 1987 he began to suffer terrible cough which only got worse and more painful. He had been diagnosed with HIV about 18 months earlier but he never let it stop him from fighting for others. On the 30th January 1987 it had eventually got so bad that he had to go to the hospital, it was then that he was diagnosed with AIDS. Mark died on the 11th February 1987 from Pneumonia brought on by AIDS. He was only 26 years old but in his short life he had, he managed to help bring solidarity between two communities, the miners and LGBT people, which even just a few months before LGSM was formed would have seemed impossible but that solidarity is something that was finally able to bring in some protection for Queer people and i think that's pretty amazing. The movie "Pride" and the book "Pride: The Unlikely Story of the True Heroes of the Miners' Strike" are great for learning some more about Mark and LGSM. Also the song "For a Friend" by The Communards was written for Mark by Jimmy Somerville who was Marks best friend and a member of LGSM. The song is quite a beautiful tribute to a great man lost way to soon.

During WW2, she spied the looting by Nazis of the collections of art that passed at the Jeu de Paume Museum and were from the greatests Jewish art dealers in Paris. With the help of her notes, the Monuments Men knew almost all the locations of the storage of the art that was stolen. While she never came out publicly, she did publish the thesis of her lover after her death. She is now burried with this lover in the familial plot. Another interesting fact is that she was more educated that other women of her time and that she pursue higher education despite her socio-economie backgroung.

You're one of my favorite KZreadrs, I watch you from France, and I wanted to let you know that you really did help me accept that I'm actually lesbian, like no one else did. You do an amazing job on this channel and I hope you know that! ❤ thank you so much Jessica! (And sorry for the mistakes, I don't use google translate since I'm trying to learn by myself haha!)

Facinating! Thank you for gritting your teeth and sharing 💗🙏 hope you are feeling better.

Holaaa. Acabo de terminar un exámen, gracias por subir video, mejoras mi día. Saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪

Seeing you being at least a little bit better and learning about all these amazing human beings who fought for the right things in the past, helped me alot to unwind from a very stressful day - so thank you a lot, Jessica... I know you probably won´t see this, but you work towards becoming and already being just as iconic as the people in your video! Lots of love from Germany and get well soon!

Thank you si much for making this video! Great work, Jessie and Claud! 🌈

turned off my adblocker, thank you for donating your proceeds and for all your fabulous content. I hope the pain becomes more manageable soon.

Such an amazing video. Thank you so much for creating this. I hope your back gets better and you get feeling back in your leg sooner rather than later. = )

Jessica, Thank you for bringing history alive for us. I have always loved studying history. Although it has been a struggle to find information not written by those who pretend that that other historical figures who are not straight, white and predominantly male are less than and not worth their time to chronicle. It is so refreshing to learn about all of the historical figures that you showcase. Sending hugs to you. Tricia B 🤗🤗🤗😃

Thank you so much for doing this when you’re poorly. I always love learning from you

I hope you have a speedy recovery 💖💖💕 This was such a beautiful video, thank you :)

This is so amazing and beautiful! We have so many wonderful people involved in our movement. I appreciate that you allowed us to see the accommodations that you made for yourself as well. Much love. ❤

Thank you for this video! You are lovely and this video was awesome. I hope you heal quickly. Blessings

Wonderful video, thank you for shedding light on so many amazing people. Also your hair as ever is lovely

I'm kind of in awe after finding this channel-- I cannot thank it enough for all the valuable knowledge I've gained after binge-watching it as if there's no tomorrow.

So glad to see you back, Jessica, I was getting worried...I hope you are feeling better soon, thanks for doing this video while struggling and in pain. Loved it!

This was wonderful. Thank you, Jessica! Much love from Canada!

History, Covid, BLM, Pride! This is one of your best vids ever. Thank you! Feel better hon!

I felt Jessica's kiss on my cheek )) sending lots of support and love to you, our Sunshine. I didn't know about Samira Wiley and her love story, though I watched the series. Thanks.

Thank you so much for making this in spite of your pain. It was just what I needed right now.

Well done lass. Feel better soon. Cheers to Claudia as well. Oh and the puppies. Good vibes to all.

I will always be grateful to J Van Ness for calling 8th season Cersei "evil, no-volume Carol Brady" oh, and I am just visiting :)

Thank you for the video, and taking the time/effort to make it while still working on getting better. Happy Pride month to all!

I love how you always look so nice. Even when you are in pain on a bed you still manage to have great fashion sense. Also loved the video

This is so intresting and you have such a good story telling voice.

What a wonderful video. I learned so much. I smiled through the whole thing....mostly to see you on the mend.
