LOL...there is a gay lifestyle. There always has been! We see a small piece of society or a theme within an era and add our own flair to it. "The Roaring Twenties", Rehoboth Beach/Fire Island/Key West/San Francisco!, "Summer of Love/Flower Power/Sexual Revolution" of the '60s.

Here, in this sub we have a gay lifestyle on social media and you're participating in it.

The truth that not every moment in the history of the Gay Rights movement involved/included/or was begin by someone who was transgendered. That the first thing thrown at Stonewall was a punch, not a brick. That it was mostly thrown by a young gay man. And it was thrown at the encouragement of a bitch lesbian being arrested! These truths, to start with.

How about the more than a decade the loose grouping of "gays" was know as the LGB and not the LGBT from the very beginning!

And my favorite, that the T (when added in 1995) was always for transgendered people...when those of us who were around and part of the "gay lifestyle" then know for a fact it meant transvestites...who were gay men who cross dressed to work as street prostitutes. The T did not come to stand for transgender until around 2005.

Just a small list of truths being lost to deletion and rewriting of gay history.
