LGBT History Month
Origins
Originally organized as Gay and Lesbian History Month, it was started in 1994 by an out, gay high college teacher, Rodney Wilson (LGBTQ Nation). In the Joined States, October is known as LGBT History Month, coinciding with National Coming out Day on Oct. 11 and in honor of the first Protest on Washington for Homosexual woman and Gay Rights in 1979.
In the UK, February is used because that was the month a bill banning the "promotion" of homosexuality was repealed in 1988 (American Psychological Association).
Difference from Pride Month
Pride is a protest, a battle cry, whereas History Month is a celebration.
LGBTQ Nation
June -- Gay Pride Month -- arose from remembrance and celebration of the Stonewall uprising. On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn gay bar in New York City, but the patrons resisted. The protest attracted thousands from around the city and lasted about a week. The first pride was celebrated on the one-year anniversary. ("Today in History - June 28," Library of Congress)
This, the first U.S. Gay Pride Week and March, was meant to give the society a chance to group together to "...comm

LGBTQ+ history in Wisconsin
The history of the LBGTQ+ community in Wisconsin is extraordinary, despite creature largely untold. While the focus on the queer liberation movement is focused predominantly on America’s coasts, real progress was made right here in the Badger State. In 1966, Wisconsin had the first public call by a political body for abolition of restrictions against homosexual people so they could have “freedom of action.” Before Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977, Midwest cities including Madison had openly gay elected officials. In 1982, Wisconsin became the first state to enact a gay rights regulation prohibiting discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations on the basis of sexual orientation. Wisconsin was also the first express to elect three openly gay/lesbian persons to Congress: Steve Gunderson, Tammy Baldwin, and Mark Pocan. Study more about the history of the queer people through articles, artifacts, and other important items below that help tell their story.

LGBTQ Rights Timeline in American History
This timeline is organized in units that are typically taught in middle school and high university U.S. History classrooms and is consistent with the people and events listed in the new California History-Social Science Framework (2016). Our Family Coalition will be updating the timeline over time.
It is crucial to note that there existed lesbian, gay, double attraction and transgender individuals, communities, and relationships long before these terms became commonplace. Gay and lesbian relationships existed in ancient Rome and Greece communities and are shown in a variety of art from that moment. The years when ordinary terms began to be used are listed first followed by important LGBTQ history events:
Lesbian – 1732 – the term sapphic first used by William King in his publication, The Toast, published in England which meant women who loved women.
Homosexual – 1869 – Hungarian writer Karl-Maria Kertheny first used the term homosexual.
Bisexual – 1894/1967. 1872 – the pamphlet, “Psychopathia Sexualis” was translated from German and one of the first times the term bi-curious is used. 1967: Sexual

Description
At its origin in the late 60s and early 70s, Pride in the U.S. was a radical claiming of space for LGBTQ individuals and communities. Today’s Pride has evolved to a hypervisible month-long celebration across different parts of the earth, but Pride as a personal life and representation of communities remains complicated. In this Teach-Out, we will confer the history of Pride and what it means for individuals and communities today.
The Purpose of this Teach-Out is to dive deeper into the complexities of Pride as an event and as a feeling for individuals with the Lesbian, Lgbtq+, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer community, also referred to as LGBTQ. We are hoping to shed light on the different understandings and meanings of Celebration as it relates to space, collective, and representation within LGBTQ communities. You will learn that Pride can be a celebration for LGBTQ individuals, but Pride also brings about tensions within the LGBTQ society about its purpose. The production team interviewed several individuals who self-identify within the LGBTQ group in order to provide you with direct narratives and experiences.
This Teach-Out will answer:
