  5. In the award-winning movie The Favourite (2018), Queen Anne of England was gay. In real life was Anne a... Lesbian?
    False? - the jury is out on this :) There were, indeed, passionate letters written by Queen Anne of England to her lady-in-waiting Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough... "I had rather live in a cottage with you than reign empress of the world without you" and Sarah's political allies did spread rumours that Queen Anne and the next favourite, Abigail Masham's friendship involved "dark deeds at night". Most historians, however, think it is unlikely that Queen Anne of England was a... lezza.

  9. The Stonewall Riot's occurred on the night of (gay icon) Judy Garland's funeral?
    The Stonewall riots are considered to be the single most important event leading to gay and lesbian liberation in the United States. The iconic Stonewall Inn, NYC, is the site of the Stonewall riots which occurred between the late and early hours of June 27-28, 1969, when the LGBT community fought back against another police raid. Judy Garland's funeral was indeed on the June 27, 1969. As Judy Garland was a gay icon and portrayed "Dorothy" in the movie of The Wizard of Oz, bizarrely, it has become a myth that her funeral may have heightened emotions among bereaved street queens which started the riots. Ps So not dissin Judy herein - she embraced her LGBT fans warmly. Tragically like some other star ladies, the Hollywood movie execs tragically feed them on addictive... uppers and downers... pills to keep the ladies acting for llllllllong hours and then, pills to make them sleep.

  11. PS
    One of the origin stories of the high five is that during a baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros, in 1977, Dodgers Glenn Burke high-fived his teammate, Dusty Baker. Burke became one of the first openly gay professional athletes and an icon in the gay community. He used the high five with other gay residents of the Castro district of San Francisco, where for many it became a symbol of gay pride and identification.
