In this week’s episode: Ellen DeGeneres didn’t grow up thinking that she’d be a pioneer in the fight for LGBTQ equal rights and visibility. But that’s exactly where she found herself in 1997 when she broke out of the professional closet she’d inhabited since becoming a standup comic.

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.

Listen: Jean O’Leary was passionate—about women, nuns, feminism, and equal rights. She left an indelible mark on the women’s movement and the LGBTQ civil rights movement, but not without causing controversy, too. After all, she was a troublemaker. And proud of it.

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.
