Today in LGBT History – February 3

1821 – The first female physician in the U.S., Elizabeth Blackwell (3 February 1821 – 31 May 1910) was born near Bristol, England. As a girl, her family moved to New York State. She was awarded her MD by the Medical Institute of Geneva, New York, in 1849. She then established a hospital in New York City run by an all-female staff. She was also active in training women to be nurses for service in the U.S. Civil War. She was the first woman to graduate from medical school, a pioneer in promoting the education of women in medicine in the United States, and a social and moral reformer in both the United States and in the United Kingdom. Her sister Emily was the third woman in the US to get a medical degree. None of the five Blackwell sisters ever married. Since 1949, the American Medical Women’s Association has awarded the Elizabeth Blackwell Medal annually to a woman physician. The Judy Chicago artwork The Dinner Party features a place setting for Elizabeth Blackwell.

1874 – Le***an writer Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania.. She was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Multifaceted, complicated, and impenetrable, Stein was like the cubist paintings she admired so much. She once summed up her long life with partner Alice B. Toklas (April 30, 1877 – March 7, 1967) by writing “I love my love because she is peculiar.”

1913 – The 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granting Congress the authority to collect income taxes. Just wondering: How much have g**s and le****ns paid in taxes without full civil rights? �

1956 – Nathan Lane (born February 3, 1956) is an American stage, film and television actor and writer. He is known for his roles as Albert in The Birdcage, Max Bialystok in the musical The Producers, Ernie Smuntz in Mouse Hunt, Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls, Pseudolus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, his voice work in Stuart Little as Snowbell and The Lion King as Timon, and his recurring roles on Modern Family, The Good Wife, and American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson as F. Lee Bailey. In 2006, Lane received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2008, he was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame. Lane, who came out officially after the death of Matthew Shepard, has been a long-time board member of and fundraiser for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and has been honored by the Human Rights Campaign, Gay & Le***an Alliance Against Defamation, The Trevor Project, and the Matthew Shepard Foundation for his work in the LGBT community. On November 17, 2015, Lane married his long-time partner, theater producer, actor and writer Devlin Elliott (born April 13, 1972).

1978, Canada – In Toronto, the House of Bishops of the Anglican Church of Canada affirmed that gay people “are entitled to equal protection under the law with all other Canadian citizens.”

1988 – Cameron “Butchie” Tanner (died April 21, 1992) was a bartender and drag performer in San Francisco. On this day, he is elected Empress of San Francisco and awarded the Certificate of Honor by the City of San Francisco through the efforts of Supervisor Hongisto. On March 11, 1992, after having seen a movie at a theater in the Latin area below Castro, he was beaten and killed by two thugs with baseball bats. He died from his injuries on April 21, 1992. Although he was not transgender, and it is believed that his killers were not aware that he was gay, he is often included in several transgender memorial lists.

2011 – The National Gay & Le***an Task Force publishes its report on transgender discrimination, entitled “Injustice at Every Turn: Report on the National Transgender Discrimination Survey.”

Today in LGBT History – February 2

1711, Austria – The great Austrian statesman Prince Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz (2 February 1711 – 27 June 1794)was born in Vienna. He was an Austrian and Czech diplomat and statesman in the Habsburg Monarchy. A proponent of enlightened absolutism, he held the office of State Chancellor for about four decades and was responsible for the foreign policies during the reigns of Maria Theresa, Joseph II, and Leopold II. In 1764, he was elevated to the noble rank of a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire Single-handedly he engineered an alliance between traditional enemies France and England, Eccentric, arrogant, conceited and always happy to hear the sound of his own voice, he is said to have had a virtual harem of young men. ��

1859, UK – Havelock Ellis (2 February 1859 – 8 July 1939) was born in Croydon, England. He was an English physician, writer, progressive intellectual and social reformer who studied human s*xuality. He was co-author of the first medical textbook in English on homos*xuality in 1897, and also published works on a variety of s*xual practices and inclinations, as well as transgender psychology. He is credited with introducing the notions of narcissism and autoeroticism, later adopted by psychoanalysis. Ellis was among the pioneering investigators of psychedelic drugs and the author of one of the first written reports to the public about an experience with mescaline, which he conducted on himself in 1896. Like many intellectuals of his era, he supported eugenics and he served as president of the Eugenics Society. His monumental seven volume “Studies in the Psychology of S*x (1897- 1928) changed the Western attitude to s*x in the late Victorian age. In November 1891, at the age of 32, and reportedly still a virgin, Ellis married the English writer and proponent of women’s rights, Edith Lees (1861-1916). From the beginning, their marriage was unconventional, as Edith Lees was openly le***an. At the end of the honeymoon, Ellis went back to his bachelor rooms in Paddington. She lived at Fellowship House. Their “open marriage” was the central subject in Ellis’s autobiography, My Life.

1988, UK – Three women protest the potential Clause 28 by swinging on ropes off the public gallery into the chamber of the House of Lords. Their shouts of “Le***ans are angry!” and “It’s our lives you’re dealing with” distill the current mood of British le***an and gay activists, galvanized as never before in opposition to the bill. Clause 28 was enacted on 24 May 1988, and stated that a local authority “shall not intentionally promote homos*xuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homos*xuality” or “promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homos*xuality as a pretended family relationship”. It was repealed on 21 June 2000 in Scotland by the Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Act 2000, one of the first pieces of legislation enacted by the new Scottish Parliament, and on 18 November 2003 in the rest of the United Kingdom by section 122 of the Local Government Act 2003. The law’s existence caused many groups to close or limit their activities or self-censor. For example, a number of le***an, gay and bis*xual student support groups in schools and colleges across Britain were closed owing to fears by council legal staff that they could breach the act.

2005, Austria —Transgender Europe (TGEU) is funded in Vienna during the first European Transgender Council. This NGO works “to support or work for the rights of transgender/transs*xual/gender variant people.” It also runs the Trans Murder Monitoring project, which records and reports the many people who are killed each year as a result of transphobia.

Stolen from a friend:

Let’s be clear about what Twitter did, as many people who don’t under the First Amendment are already erroneously calling it “censorship”.

The First Amendment protects the free speech of citizens against the censorship of the government in the public square. It does not extend to spaces owned by businesses. Because businesses are owned by citizens, they are, by definition, self-determining. They can make their own decisions about who to serve or allow access to their properties so long as those decisions don’t discriminate by certain protected classes — race, color, age, religion, s*x/gender, orientation, country of origin, disability.

Tech platforms like Twitter are not the public square; they are assets owned by companies which users sign an agreement of terms (AKA. “Terms of Service” / AKA a contract) in order to access. This is no different than being physically present in an office building or restaurant or store — the company that owns the space — whether physical or virtual — determines who can access it, so long as they are not discriminating by a protected class. (And to be very clear, potilical ideology or belief is not a protected class. That distinction is what enables businesses to participate in political discourse.)

(It is also worth noting that while the First Amendment protects citizens from censorship by the government; it does not exactly work in the inverse: the government — and government officials — are not protected from the speech or censorial actions of citizens. This is why publishers can revoke book deals with politicians, for example. And, in fact, citizen speech, including the speech of businesses, is precisely how American government is determined. One such process is called an election.)

Additionally, even in the public square, not all speech is protected by the First Amendment. Namely, speech that induces panic or violence is considered legally exempt. In fact, certain speech intended to induce violence or pain against a person or persons based on a protected class (race, color, s*x, age, religion, country of origin, orientation, disability) is considered Hate Speech, a unique and specific crime.

Lastly, the president still retains all his First Amendment rights in the public forum if he chooses to exercise them. He can go talk to the media all he wants — he is just not allowed access to the properties of this one company. And it is the constitutional right of that company to make such a decision based upon its self-determined policies and the contract it upholds with its users.

None of this is “anti-American” - it is all legal, constitutional, and quite in the spirit of both free speech and free enterprise, the limitations thereof, and the balance between them all.

The president can seek legal recourse if he wishes, but he will all but certainly lose, because this is not discrimination and the question of “censorship” simply does not apply. In fact, the only way that censorship would apply is if the government intercedes and determines the decisions of Twitter regarding who can be allowed access. The right for Twitter to ban the president is actually a quintessential conservative argument. So let’s not get hysterical here. The only difference between Twitter banning the president and Twitter banning one of us is the title of the presidency. And if you want that position to receive prejudicial treatment, then you want the president to be above the laws that govern the rest of us, which is to say you don’t want a president at all; you want a monarch — and that is decidedly un-American.

Next mission: get all these congress members who voted against the vote certification in our state to not be re-elected. Here's the list
Ken Calvert, Calif.
Mike Garcia, Calif.
Darrell Issa, Calif.
Doug LaMalfa, Calif.
Kevin McCarthy, Calif.
Devin Nunes, Calif.
Jay Obernolte, Calif.

As COVID-19 hospitalizations rise, Mission Viejo health care workers beg community for support Exhausted health care workers at Providence Mission Hospital are bracing for another surge in COVID-19 hospitalizations following gatherings during the holidays.

Its December very close to Christmas , its the time of the year to be thankful for what life has given you. To respect others as you would want to be respected. And most of all to be a good role model to the younger generation .
