Happy International Lesbian Day everyone!
October 8th is the day that lesbians from all over the world come together to celebrate lesbian history, diversity and culture. LGBTQ+ together…
Do you know why “L'” is the first letter in LGBTQ+?
Before becoming LGBTQ+ as we are used to today, Indeed, there has been a change in order from what it used to be GLBT before, so how did L become first?…
First, let’s go back to the early days of LGBTQ rights and equality. MSM will be the main driver There is a focus on lesbian issues. As well as lesser-known bi and trans people being secondary issues, it is the origin of GLBT.
Until the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s that killed a lot of people. Whether it’s gay, transgender, bisexual, or even straight women and men.
At that time, lesbians took on a more leadership role among LGBT people, not only caring and grievances in Washington DC, USA to fight for the human rights of MSM with AIDS or HIV. HIV But lesbians also play a role in caring for men with AIDS or HIV. both providing meals clothing and housing Including donating blood to the MSM group as well which creates solidarity between gays and lesbians quite a lot
While AIDS treatment is more promising Gays recognize the role of lesbians in crisis relief. By the late 1990s, “Gay Community Centers” across the United States had become “Lesbian And Gay Community Centers,” and it was common practice to replace the “G” and “G”. “L” is the standard abbreviation, as well as adding “B”…then “T”…then “Q”…and so on.
Even if it seems like a small matter But changing the abbreviation is what has continued to strengthen the LGBTQ community today. Inclusion can not only counteract injustice against LGBTQ people, but also unite people.
“L” before “G” is therefore more than a pre or after sequence. more than words but as a sign of respect solidarity Hope for a shared future of equality, justice and love…
Knowledge tip: Always infected with HIV ≠ AIDS. Nowadays, if patients are detected from the early stages and received medical treatment It will reduce the risk or may not get AIDS at all.
