@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK in 1st half of 20thC, straight guys didn’t lose their straight cred if they had #SexPlay w/#queers? “Fags” were as successful at picking them up as women #SexWorkers, & men became MORE masculine by penetrating another guy.

@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialBurton also completed translation of the sections of The Perfumed Garden that dealt with #QueerSex & #pederasty before dying. But his Catholic widow, Isabel, burned them in fear for his reputation. Ghosts of #QueerHistory still haunt. #BookBans

@twiqh.bsky.social"No longer will our country be denied the service of thousands of Americans who want to serve their country, but were prevented from doing so because they were gay."

@antongyan.bsky.social#ParisPolice1905 is interesting talks about the “registre de pédérasts” which was kept by the police until 1982 in Paris. A list of “known” homosexuals categorised as “aunts” or “Jesus”. Not very much online but this is interesting www.amnesty.fr/wp-content/u... #QueerHistory #GayHistory
@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK in 1929 #GovernorAlSmith signed New York’s Wales Padlock Bill & made it illegal for theaters to mount plays about sex “degeneracy” & “perversion”—about #queers—like “The Captive” about #lesbians? Ghosts of #QueerHistory still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com
@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK #Cicero referred to #GayMarriage in a famous attack on #MarcAntony?

@twiqh.bsky.socialDorothy Arzner was the only woman directing steadily in Hollywood for two decades. She wore suits, loved one woman for 40 years, and invented the boom mic.
@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK many of the all-male actors in #Kabuki lived their lives as women? Many were mistresses to men. Why is it so dangerous to be a #transwoman today? Ghostsof #GenderHistory still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #CrossDress #QueerHistory #trans #transhistory

@andrewcgrant.bsky.socialHomosexuality isn't a mental disorder but it still took psychiatrists 65 years to fully remove it
Kinsey and Hooker had the data but it took a man in a rubber mask to make it real.
@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK in some ancient Roman marriage ceremonies the groom dismissed his #SameSex #concubine in front of wedding guests & promised not to have another—female or male? Others kept their concubines. Ghostsof #QueerHistory still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #bisexuality
@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK from 1941 to ’45 U.S. military services discharged 9,000 soldiers & sailors as sexual psychopaths? In the previous 40 years, only 100s. By 1980, they had ushered out nearly 100,000 women & men for being #queer. Ghosts of #QueerHistory still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com
@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK 19thC England executed #GayMen, but celebrated #lesbians in #GayMarriage?
