Paulette Goodman’s experience of growing up as a Jewish child in Paris during the Nazi occupation gave her a unique perspective as the parent of a gay child who faced discrimination in the country where Paulette’s family sought refuge. Paulette knew what it meant to be different, to be demonized, and to have your life threatened because of who you are. And she brought all that experience to bear in her work with PFLAG (formerly known as Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).
During Paulette’s years heading PFLAG’s Washington, DC, chapter and subsequent tenure as president of @pflagnational, from 1988 to 1992, she used her powers of persuasion, the media, and her standing as a gray-haired mom to carry the ball forward in the fight for LGBTQ equal rights.

New episode! As a Jewish child growing up in Nazi-occupied Paris, Paulette Goodman knew what it meant to be a despised minority. After the war, her family sought refuge in the U.S. But when Paulette found out that her child was gay, she discovered that there was another battle to be fought and won.

On this day in 1946, film historian, activist, and co-founder of @actupny and @GLAAD was born. In a 1988 interview with #MakingGayHistory’s Eric Marcus, Vito said, “I want to be around to … tell the world what happened so that people will realize what we all went through. Because I think our lives have been devalued. These are brave courageous, beautiful people who are dying.” Vito Russo died of complications from AIDS on November 7, 1990.

Can you imagine growing up thinking that you were the only LGBT person in the entire world? Can you imagine having these feelings and not even knowing the word for it?
Welcome to the world in which Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin grew up. Fortunately they found each other. And fortunately for us, they decided they wanted to meet other people like themselves, which led them to co-found the Daughters of Bilitis—an organization that along with the Mattachine Society launched what became the worldwide LGBTQ civil rights movement.
In case you missed their Making Gay History episode, please join me in a journey back in time to meet two of the most unlikely and ultimately heroic founders of our movement.

Happy birthday to Frida Kahlo The legendary Mexican artist would have been 111 today. Her work has inspired generations of artists. Frida occasionally wore men’s clothing and was proudly bisexual — despite the world being hostile to LGBTQ people in the early 20th century. 📸: #NickolasMuray The first portrait was taken by Frida’s father, Guillermo Kahlo, in 1926.
