Remember, this is the LGBTQ history in America, not the rest of the world, just America.
It's similar in Canada
Greeks?
@@Catseye189 Yes.
Catseye189 there are people who think American history, is world history. I’m from Australia, but live in the US and there are Americans who think we celebrate thanks giving in Australia.
I'm sure you ment to say USA, which is a country,and not a Continent, as it is America.
Personally, as a straight person, I have learned pretty well about the unforgettable moments of the history of the LGBTQ community in the world, particularly in the United States of America. As I have heard before from people like Ellen DeGeneres, although some progress was made, there is still a long way to go in furthering the progress of the LGBTQ people in every aspect of society. Let's keep the pressure on!
❤️
Good for you
Thank you ♥️
It's abomination ,. And one day every one will come face to face with god , at that point it will be to late to ask for forgiveness ,
KOJAK BRADDY no, you’re wrong. If you really believe this then you might as well follow every rule from the bible.
"This is a safe space, Carl."
"Uh, my name is Mark."
"Whatever."

Ha ha me to
the sad thing is Ellen was not immediately accepted by the public at the time of her confession. not as smooth as this story. Ellen had to work harder to get through this stage
its been a year, 1 mill subs yet?
She STILL is not accepted more than EVER!
Nobody's required to accept you or like you
D is for Degenerate.
@@jimmythundarrsdrumcoverser492 "She STILL is not accepted more than EVER!"
It's because of how she treats people, not because she's a Lesbian. Typical lying Liberal.
I’m a simple girl, I see Wanda Sykes ...I click.
Hanna Mars same
Haha god bless you. I be praying for you
LGBTQ? (I am lgbt)
Wait stranger things
NOT funny if your avatar pic is actually you yet your claiming your a GIRL. Ah if so well then go & simply ask your parents what the doctor said after you were delivered as I'm going to guess either " Congratulations it's a boy" or "Congratulations it's a girl" RIDICULOUS.....
This is really cute! Let’s remember that we here in the US have it very lucky, people in other countries aren’t as lucky as this yet.
It's not luck. Some have faught actual tooth and nail. Blood, sweat and run out of tears to mourn the injustices and work to balance the scales. Just as we do it anyone else can.
Brianna K. Fortunate and humbling are the words I should have used, because I agree with you completely and that’s what I meant to say, so many before us fought to make our society what it is today and to give us the rights we have💕
@@Itsmarkyoung It often feels like a neverending battle. I know there were many influential family unnamed in the video but it's always nice to have any bits of our history because there's so much we don't know being that it's not like it's included in school history classes or any classes for that matter and there's so much we need to know just to get by in daily life things like this get set to the side. 💖
im from homophobic country :(
i need freedom, cant hide it, its so hard
@@vikashkumartimber yes
We're still in the middle centuries in my country😢

It's the same in my country too 😣😭

Nobody:
The comments: "James Charles..."
So Marsha P Johnson didn’t show up to stonewall until around 2 am, after the riot had already started. (She admits this in an interview)
Yeah, but giving complete credit to Ellen coming out publicly with the cover of Time as the start of a new era... Not really accurate. More influential celebrities came out first. She wasn't even as popular as they were at the time. She is by far the most famous lesbian in this decade where others popularity have dropped dramatically. There were many brave celebrities who's strength shouldn't be diminished because their popularity did....Ellen said it was their bravery who inspired her. It's a great video with a great message, but the movement of celebrities declaring their sexually started before that magazine.... She is just the one who managed to remain the most popular across many demographics. I am grateful for her and what she's done.... She helped start many conversations between people and has been a role model and example that almost everyone has embraced.
Yes, and Marsha P. Johnson did not start or lead the Stonewall Riots, she herself made the statement that she arrived at 2am after the rioting had already begun, but I think its more important that these myths act as inspiration more then fact
@cathy smith I don't believe in God 😌💅
its not bravery its fiction- respectfully
There's still much work to be done. Especially with "the Equality Act" 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈✊🏽
Ignasio Castillo seriously! 😯 can’t believe that wasn’t already a thing
What was the equality act?
Don't pretend like coming out is something hard anymore, everyone accepts you and if they don't they get crucified.
@@mysticdaedric540 Come out from that rock. Your still under it.
Listen here femboy, you guys have it real nice. You get a month to run around shirtless celebrating pride, and dead soldiers get a 2 minute silence.
I’m scared to tell my mum that I am bisexual....
Music well...I live in a catholic family and my mum is against LGBTQ+ :(
Onion Face Thank you :’)
You don't have to tell her. It's your business. My mom said she was accepting, but she's only accepting when it's not someone in her family. I came out as Pansexual and she said some really foul stuff to me...
I’m a lesbian but I don’t plan on telling my parents. For some reason I don’t feel the need to. They’ll find out on their own some day when I start dating women.
Thank you all for advice!
In the Middle East we still live in the middle century apparently..
I'm sorry for that! I'm from the middle East as well. I feel like if people were to speak up the things might change.
@@whatsup4041 Not as long as they've got authoritarian despots leading them. Without democracy progress cannot be made.
“This is a safe space, Carl.”
“Uh, my name is Mark.”
“WHATEVER.”

she's black lole
Tbh, the only heaven for me is when the ad that pops up on TH-cam is a survey. That you can skip.
Just sayin.
Hey love from india
@Love Life seriously dude, 🤦♂
And love back! 💕❤️ hope it gets better for ya’ll!!
being a part of the lgbtq+ in my country is illegal even if it’s not a choice :,(
Arianator Forever aw I’m sorry. Unfortunately a lot of countries still have a long way to go in acceptance and tolerance
Isabel Espinoza tysm 🥺
Maybe move outta the country?
Roben yeah and if you’re homeless just buy a house
Same x((
I'm sending love to whoever needs it. I know there is still a lot of people suffering today... Dont give up, because love will always find a way 🌈❤️
Thank you! Needed that love right now. In my country I can be fired and discriminated against any minute someone finds out I'm a transgender. So I stay in the closet. It's tough. Dressing like someone I'm not has been destroying my confidence since I was a kid until now.
@@est9949 good luck, friend
Btw, are you switching from male to female or the opposite? Also where are u from?
@Herbert Munson ew 🙈
marsha P johnson herself said she didn't get there until 2 when the place was already on fire. we keep romanticizing the actual events and spinning it to the narrative we want today.
Thank you! So many people like to tell this lie 😂 she was not the first person to throw the brick, chaos had already started
I do support LGBT. They are so brave to find and then define who they are. And i love Ellen
❤️
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It's not who they are , it's who they chose to be , big difference
@@kojakbraddy2338 ok. When did you choose to be straight?
@@kojakbraddy2338 you going to respond? When did you choose to be straight?
I pray that although we, as a country, disagree in ideologies, such as those supported by LGBTQ community, may find common ground based on respect and reverence of the human person. St. Joseph, protector of the family, pray for us!
i like this, and when people say we should teach anything to young students i think it should alway be the parents decision
When everyone was so surprised that the 13 colonies protested for 13 years I was like um don’t forget that the lgbtq community fought for centuries and are still fighting
they have not been fighting for centuries this is a relativly new movement and started in 1988 even a century would put you at the year 2088
@@austinmec5993 0:50
Rewatch for a moment.
Wanda Sykes, she is still as beautiful as those days.Lot's of love from Kenya
This is what the school should teach people who are straight and lgbtq+ so they can be aware and appreciative those who came before us and fought history is history
Nifesce Scott truth
Sadly every school in my state, from my understanding is homophobic. Its very hard as a demiflux bisexual
Yeah I think people should learn about that. I had to find out myself. Not learning about it is hard when you realize who you actually are.
That's propaganda
@@thecossackcrusaderofholybr8448So is homophobia.
The whole world will never forget who we truly are. We are unstoppable. We have fought, we are still fighting and we will fight for our rights and our lives. We are the LGBT+ community. We are everywhere. 🇺🇸❤️🏳️🌈
I love you
@TNQ Twins Always love in return ❤️
💜💪
Repent pls
I love Wanda Sykes and her voice is so distinct and fun!
I know. Wanda's voice is very clear and her southern dialect (Virginia and Maryland) instantaneously makes you listen.
I appreciate that Ellen got Wanda Sykes to educate the people! This is so important! I love you Ellen and Wanda! Thank You!!
You mean indoctrinate. Did you see the "EYE" of RA in the sun. Ancient cults.
can someone come educate these people on chromosomes that would be amazing.
Ya'll in the US are really lucky. Us people in Africa have it TOUGH like for real....
Just salute to people who came before us🏳️🌈. Thanks to all of you so much❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Wanda I just absolutely love her love her sense of humor even her voice. We need to have much more of her she's the one in a million
She didn't tell the whole dtory
It's hard to tell the whole story in just 4 minutes lol.
Wait, does this guy just came out in the end?
Lol.
Thank you for making these videos Ellen!!! This awareness is more required than we can ever imagine! People don't know anything about our community's history and I believe this is going to be a great platform for everyone to know and understand the community better. I'm going to send this to my parents soon, before or when I come out to them someday. Once again, Thank you Ellen!! Loads of love from India 💕
I'm in closet too
If you are reading this, I want you to know that you are loved. You are light. You are here for a reason. You have purpose. Everything is always working in your favor.

Ok satan
A relationship between a son and the father is an important bond that passes down morals and values. And with a mother, children learn how to be compassionate and empathetic. It prevents people from going overboard into a self-indulgent down spiral of dopamine rushes. Without traditional values or morals, people submit themselves to acts of pleasure of which they create their own values in order to be contempt with doing those actions. Instead of actively trying to better themselves, it's easier to be contemptuous with being sick and you can't do anything to change it. The idea you should accept everyone for who they want to be has unleashed ideological diseases that corrupt minds into a weakness.
There are two types of people who profit from spreading disease by advertising and policies. People in power, government, and big corporations, who know it's easier to control weak-minded citizens, and the mentally ill who seek nothing but gratification from a community of like-minded degenerates, the corrupted youth. They spread it in order to fulfill a meaningless purpose of being kind with “acceptance”. It does nothing to empower to encourage people to improve themselves. They seek identification that degrades further and further. They require more gratification, it's like a drug. It's easier to create less intricated, easier to understand, and “morally correct” reasons on a foundation of “acceptance” than to explain and maintain traditional ones that have been passed down for generations. For example “love is love” is a simple and widely accepted term as “be with who you want to be with”, but where is the limit? Can people love animals? Children? How can this “love” not be a pervasive lust for a relationship from a desperate mentally ill human being?
As time goes on, morales values corrupt the youth as there are no standards. The importance of historical figures and their lessons will in time be removed due to the disease wanting to erase the past so as to completely eradicate any possibility of a philosophical antidote arising. The fewer restrictions the disease has to go through, the more it can multiply until it destroys society. And the only ones left to profit are the people pulling the strings from positions of government that were put there by people thinking they were doing the right thing, but for all the wrong reasons
We are so lucky to have had all those people pave the way for us and now we must do our part and continue their work. A better tomorrow is on its way :) Happy Pride Everyone!
It said that today is pride month and I'am confused so I'am here to educate myself and all genders and sexualities are really nice ❤️ I'm straight and i respect all of you! remember just to be who you are and be yourself. ❤️
Thank you so much for educating yourself instead of taking it out on others because you don't understand. 🏳🌈❤
You listen to this crowd you'll only get more confused
yeah, be your self a good indicater is your chromosomes.
This was very interesting....also I LOVE WANDA SYKES!!!!! You learn something new every day ❤️
Your comments are open! I love Wanda Sykes and I love you so much, Ellen!!
How could there be a history of a thing that doesnt exist?
The first LGBT show I ever watched was "Glee". I subscribed to the show after hearing about Cory Monteith's death. Before that point, I merely listened to the show's soundtrack.
ELLEN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!
YEAH!!!
BRING BACK TRUMP!!!
desantis for president
It's not confirmed that Marsha P. Johnson was one of the major factors, there were others who had an impact as large as she did.
Look at my comment, Marsha did not start the riots ( by her own words didn’t even turn up till half 2-3 in the morning) , she did start the pride parades SHE IS A LEGEND THOIGH… we deserve to know and share FACTS
@@joshy8889 expect she did not
This video already has dislikes shows how much homophobia is there in the society.
theres alot of phobias
I didn't know about the GRID term/acronym 🤯, I am happy and proud that I knew the majority of the information 🙂✌🏼
Not me watching this because I don't learn it in school
Yes. They should not tech this in school

thanks for teaching me im a questioning-ace and I should feel proud I'm in this generation
If Wanda was my school teacher at school, I'd be at NASA right now.
Or NSA 😁
I like this video. I am still learning about LGBTQ+. Thanks for the info!
I'm glad that they mentioned that not everything is okay nowadays, but I think they probably should have worked on it a touch more to show what else needed to be helped. As a member of the community, I can testify that quite often lgbtq+ members feel unsafe going outside for fear of what others may do to them. I am one of these members, and I can recount times I have been physically harmed or harassed because of who I am, and I'm still a teenager! Things may be better than they have ever been, but that doesn't mean things are okay just yet. I want to be safe to express who I am, but at this point, I'm not even sure if that will happen in my lifetime.
I don't really care about all of this bc I just wanna live my best life
we need more positivity
like this
@@austinmec5993 thx🔥
All of us want that but we dont know how to
Wanda is so funny! This was very interesting
This short deserves AWARDS
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
We watched this in my history class and had a discussion about homophobia
So what happened
ngl, i am so sad they didnt mention my man harvey milk
While I was watching this video, an ad appeared.. It was about installing The Holy Bible app..
I'm glad to live in the present.
Thanks for making this.
This voice kinda reminds me of Miranda Bailey from Grey's Anatomy
I love this video… but Marsha p Johnson even said her self she never started the stonewall riots, Marsha came half way through, it has been noted a latino that was described by those there as ‘ maybe lesbian’ threw the first punch. Marsha also said she wasn’t a woman, Marsha says that he is a man but doesn’t fully define herself as any particular gender nouns or fashion. Marsha was one of the main people who started the pride parade movements…. Sorry to fact check but our history has been told wrong for so so so so many years I think it’s great to have real facts
being straight.....I really support LGBT+ rights and we all must without finding difference because we are all equal
Always fight for who you are 💓✊🏿 together we are strong
And now look how far back we have come in a decade :(
blame the king of ancient greece for starting it all
James charles has joined the chat
😕
Lucky Americans, at least you people enjoy your life.... Hope the change to happen in India at least with next century...
You're are right.
We're far better off than most countries
Although there's a lot of progress to be done
@@thebadass1658 you are right
Wanda: you are my hero (heroine?). FANTASTIC!
Yea still hectic in Africa
What about how people are currently being thrown off buildings by isis
Respect each other regardless of gender and ethnicity.
Respect is earned not given freely to anyone.
this alphabet agenda is not love, but promoting sin........
It makes me so happy seeing so many supportive people in the comments
Sadly, There's still alot of homophobic people oit there who are close minded.
💕🏳️🌈"LOVE IS A RAINBOW...EMBRACE IT"!!!🏳️🌈💕
This is great! Thank you for educating us.
The information is not fully correct. Ceylon and India had homosexuals before Ancient Greece. Marsha Johnson wasn't the main reason the GLF got the spark.
i would'nt say "educated" in this case
ben shapiro is a good educator too, also jordan peterson and many more are really good.
I love this so so much!!!
Ahem Pioneer!!! Pure Awesomeness.... Respect! Mam! Ellen The Generous!!!

while you are correct we all still see her as a face of stonewall, an important member
@@bomoore9872 Absolutely she was incredible and vital to LGBT rights

I love you soo much omg!!
Awesome!
you know the funny thing about this and prompting the lgbtq+ is that people mainly focus on the LGT and not the others.
To me, the L G and T are kinda the big terms, and everything under is branches. Not saying their the same, but what I'm saying is if we support for the L G and T, we will have support for basically anything. And if we don't, we fight for it! Lol
Looove the animation! And of course wanda!!
