Boys: I wish I could sneak into the girl’s locker room to see them get changed

Lesbians in the girl’s locker room: I should stand in the farthest corner and get changed with my back to everyone so I don’t accidentally see a boob and make anyone uncomfortable

So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history. 

Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service. 

This is really great??

You Can Now Play the First LGBTQ Computer Game, For the First Time

thetransintransgenic:

Caper in the Castro is a legendary video game, not because
legions of die-hard fans continue to play it, but because it was thought
to be lost forever. Now, what is largely considered to be the first
LGBTQ-focused video game (it was released in 1989) is on the Internet Archive for anybody to play.

The game is a noir point-and-click that puts the player in the
(gum)shoes of a private detective named Tracker McDyke who is, in case
you couldn’t guess by the name, a lesbian. McDyke must unravel the
mystery behind the disappearance of Tessy LaFemme, a transgender woman,
in San Francisco’s Castro district, an historically gay neighbourhood.

OOOOOHhh!

The game was released as charityware – freely, with a strong request to give a donation an AIDS Charity of their choice. I’d like to push towards still following that and donating, if you’re able.

(And you might also want to donate to the Internet Archive, who is hosting it now, while you’re at it – they’re in the middle of a donation drive, and could use your support.)
