Happy international drag day!

Kennedy Allen (b. 1870) - (aka. The Baroness of Ystrad Rhondda) performed in drag in Wales in the 1890s. He was born in Sheffield and later learned Welsh. LGBTQHanesCymru have an article about an interview of his from 1895- I highly recommend reading!

YouTube - Bear Essense - The Big Hurt (disconet version)

One of the dangers of following YouTube rabbit holes is finding embarrassing things that bring back fond memories of a misguided youth😎
I haven't heard the Bear Essense disco mix of The Big Hurt since I was a baby gay going to my first clubs. In Philly, it would have been Equus; a popular place for Lacoste gays, The DCA; a popular after-hours club, and a tiny firetrap of a place appropriately called The Steps😊

, 23 May 1988, four women storm the BBC news studio whilst the news is live on air, protesting the introduction of Section 28. Section 28 banned the “promotion of homosexuality” by local government in the UK, and was intended to stop LGBT+ campaigns for equal rights.

It was not repealed until 2003.

Before the internet, we learned from books. Found my first edition copy of The Joy Of Gay Sex in the closet (sic). Still educational although some pages are stuck together.

If you are in Australia (or have a VPN that makes it look like you are in Australia) I recommend watching Queerstralia: "Join award-winning comedian and professional lesbian Zoe Coombs Marr, as we wipe away the straightwashing and reveal the untold and frankly fascinating Queer history of Australia."

It's free to stream on ABC iview. iview.abc.net.au/show/queerstr

Alan Turing was a British mathematician, computer scientist, and logician who is widely considered to be one of the most influential figures in the history of computing. In 1936, he published a paper that introduced the concept of a universal Turing machine, which is a theoretical machine that can perform any computation that any other computing machine can perform. This concept laid the foundation for modern computer science and the development of electronic computers. During World War II, Turing worked at Bletchley Park, where he helped crack German codes using the Enigma machine. This work is estimated to have shortened the war in Europe by at least two years and saved countless lives. After the war, Turing continued to work on the development of electronic computers and contributed to the field of artificial intelligence.

Despite his significant contributions to science and technology, Turing faced significant personal troubles. In 1952, he was convicted of homosexuality, which was illegal in the UK at the time. He was given the choice of imprisonment or chemical castration, and he chose the latter. The hormone treatments that Turing received had severe side effects and caused him great distress. In 1954, Turing died by suicide at the age of 41. It wasn't until decades later that his contributions were widely recognized and he was posthumously pardoned for his conviction. Turing's life and legacy continue to inspire generations of scientists and computer scientists, and his contributions have had a profound impact on modern society.
