The Queer History of Resistance

One of the questions I get faced with again and again, is how do we resist? Queer history has many answers to this question.

Claude Cahun tells you to use your artistic talents, make anti-fascist art and use it to sew fear in Nazis.

The story of George Everett Klippert reminds you to live honestly even when it is terrifying.

Amelio Robles Ávila says to protect yourself.

A long history of trans women, including Dana de Milo, tells you to find your community and take care of each other.

Gilbert Baker reminds you that symbols matter, finding them, sharing them, and connecting through them.

The story of Zinaida Gippius says to hold your people accountable.

And Jackie Shane tells you to love love love.

Queer history fact: From 1938-1939, San Domino in Italy was designated an internal exile exclusively for queer people. What began as an attempt to exclude any men who didn’t fit the fascistic ideal of perfect masculinity, ended as a glimpse of the queer community in an impossible time. Equally a prison and a carved-out space where queer people connected in hostile circumstances, San Domino proves the past and continued resilience of the queer community.
