The ENTIRE History Of Lesbians
Ойын-сауық
The history of lesbians is a hidden tale that history tried to erase. We journey through time to uncover the rich tapestry of lesbian history, digging up the life of Anne Lister, a 19th-century entrepreneur whose coded diaries unveiled her secret affairs with women. We explore the global impact of colonialism on queer communities, from Africa's diverse gender roles to Two-Spirit acceptance in the Americas and love celebrations in the Caribbean. Travel through suffragist struggles, the Lavender Scare's dark era, and the rise of powerful lesbian activists. We celebrate victories, honor heroes, and paint a more colorful future. Enjoy!

My Aunt Jane and her partner “Tootie” met when playing softball in 1948 in Fox Park in St. Louis MO. and were together until separated by death. Their stories about being lesbian in the 1950’s were fabulous!

@@QueerCollective truly. Aunt Jane & Tootie were very closeted, butch/femme dynamic, their bedroom was set up with twin beds (like a mid century sitcom), and I never realized they were lesbian until I came out to my parents. I miss them. I have a suspicion my Aunt Jane might have been on the trans spectrum as she preferred to be called Lee, did all the masculine stuff (sports woodworking, fishing, lawn work, etc) and hated bras. Aunt Jane would hire women to custom make some kind of bra like contraption. Maybe it was a rudimentary binder.🤷🏻♂️

I just don’t think there’s that much interest unless you’re gay.
Wow! Thank you for sharing such an important part of our history! I learned so much! I'm Puerto Rican and in school they barely talked about our Taino culture, I didn't even know how inclusive it was. Growing up I would hear how unnatural homosexuality was but in reality our culture was so accepting and inclusive!

Thanks so much for listening! I (Karbon) was also taught that homosexuality was bad and the culture of Colombia, at least at the time, heavily discriminated against queer people. Makes me sad to know the pre-colonial culture was so inclusive but it’s also why we have to advocate for more inclusivity in cultures outside of the western world.
Thank you! Lesbian history is so fascinating and important!

Yes! More lesbian info through the eyes of religion please.
Appreciate the video! This is not an "entire" history, though. This goes over many issues in Western lesbian history, true, and this part is great. But it leaves out much of Indian, east Asian, south east Asian, every part of Africa and South America, Polynesian and Eastern European lesbian history. We often consider all of history to be just Western, or only through a Western lense. So the title is a bit misleading! Thanks, as always, for the research and the great video ❤ Also, would appreciate deletion of the hate speech in the comments!

It would be interesting to hear the history of the trans community. From trans mascs, femmes, and how the nonbinary community falls under the trans umbrella. I'm not completely knowledgeable so that's not in all inclusive list

There are a ton of trans creators who do this! Search for "transgender history". Unfortunately, a lot has been destroyed, and much is oral. Chase Ross has a bunch of good info, too.

Knowing your history is very important. If u don't remember your history than u will easily be erased.

We were unchurched and I explored different religions, and discovered the Goddess when Z Budapest came to the Boston Spirituality conference. Resurgence of the goddess will save women.
Protect the rights of lesbian athletes! Protect single-sex categories in sports!
Theres a real reason to start questioning why we still teach patriarchal mysognistic religion that keeps threatening our society that has a short memory of the atrocities caused by it being in politics and stil makes life a living hell for women and gay men around the world . We should be making the religion atkeast reform to modern day if not get rid entirely.

Why did you want to change? A thought-provoking question for you - were you a lesbian because you liked women? Because of comphet? Are you straight now or bisexual? Curious to know the story behind it
The word “queer” is loaded with discrimination and violence. It cannot be reclaimed. There is no such “non-binary.” Having said that, I appreciate your looking back in history. Sappho composed poetry ~600 BCE.

I wish I could agree with you except for one thing. If we can reclaim the Pink Triangle from Post Wienmar Germany, specially the Nazi Party then there is no way Queer is off the table.

so is the word 'gay' for many gen z people. it's useful to have a non-cluncky umbrella term for everyone. Your opinion on non-binary has no power or relevance , they exist regardless of what you think

"Queer" has already been reclaimed. If you don't want to use it, that's fine. Non binary people exist. Indigenous cultures (including pre-judeo-Christian white cultures) all included multiple genders for millennia. It was only with the advent of those religions that we see a strict enforcement of just two categories.
