GALERİ: LGBTİ TARİHİNİ ANLATAN INSTAGRAM HESABI

Instagram’da yer alan @lgbt_history hesabı, Lgbti hareketle ilgili paylaştığı fotoğraflarla tarihe not düşüyor.

Altı ayda 35bin’den fazla takipçiye ulaşan hesap yakın tarihte önemli bir yer tutan LGBTİ hareketinden önemli anları, altlarına yazdıkları açıklamalarla paylaşıyor.

Bu bilgilendirici hesap, ABD’nin Washington eyaletinde yaşayan ve nişanlandıklarını açıklayan eşcinsel çift Leighton Brown  ve Matthew Riemer’ın eseri.

GSN isimli kanala açıklama yapan ikili, bu hesabın amacının Instagram’ın insanların yaşamındaki günlük kullanım amaçları dışında LGBTİ tarihine ait büyük kitlelerle paylaşılmayan görselleri gün ışığına çıkartmak olduklarını belirtti.

İşte bu hesabın paylaşımlarından bazı örnekler:

"Christ never condemned Love, Why does Cobb County?" — "STOP HATE POLITICS," Paula & Jules Burroughs demonstrate against Cobb County, Georgia's anti-gay resolution, Marietta Square, Cobb County, Georgia, August 14, 1993. Photo c/o @ajcnews. In the summer of 1993, officials in Cobb County, Georgia–which, as one newspaper describes it, "has a long history of producing politicians who hover somewhere between bold iconoclast and national embarrassment"–reacted to an Atlanta city ordinance that extended health benefits to the partners of gay city workers by adopting a resolution condemning "the gay lifestyle" as "incompatible with the standards to which this community subscribes." And, when a local theater group's production of "Lips Together, Teeth Apart," which references AIDS and homosexuals, offended community members, the Cobb County commissioners voted to remove all county funding of the arts; anti-gay activists attended the meeting at which the vote was taken, many of them holding signs reading, "Thank God For AIDS." As the area prepared for the 1996 Olympics, a sustained effort by local LGBT activists led the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games to announce that Cobb County sports facilities would not be used during the events. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #lgbttheirstory #lgbtpride #QueerHistoryMatters #HavePrideInHistory #Sunday
