“Platonically lived with another man” Bert and Ernie???
Ashley Jones I ship them now
Hahahaha
Rubber Chicken No need to ship, I think they're officially canon couple now
What's wrong with a platonic relationship? My partner and I have a platonic relationship!!😊
Who said that is was platonic?
"Blue discharge" sounds like something you should see a doctor about.
Smurf clap.

the uno god is that supposed to mean something?
JimmyT132 no it’s kinda like “lol” or “lmao” but you’re smashing the keyboard.
the uno god 😂
when you mentioned there was a medically transitioned trans guy from BACK THEN???? and those pictures??? i wasnt expecting that at all, my jaw dropped!!!
i was just stunned, but in a good way!
good video!
my jaw literally dropped too
Uhh no she didn’t? What are you talking about? What pictures? What you smokin? I don’t want it
I think you commented on the wrong vid bud

@@Abstractical ?
Tell me why I learned more about our history in 5 min then 8+ years in school
I am an openly gay US History teacher in a public school. The reason we do not get to touch on these important subjects is because of standardized testing. If the subject isn't on the exam then we do not have time to cover it. It is disgusting. Also social studies teachers have the most densely packed standards of all subject teachers. We are expected to cover so much history that we rarely get a change to take a closer look at things. I feel like that is by design especially in more conservative states.
@@joshuajones4765 it’s sad because some bigots think it’s indoctrinating whereas it’s for children to know that if they are gay it’s okay and it’s okay accept people with different sexualities. if kids are too young to learn that people can have two moms or dads or it’s okay to love regardless of their gender. then you should not to be teaching them about christianity or any religion that you guys love to instill that fear into them. they also need to know how much the community had to fight for their rights. and that even now a days the community suffers
@@Exmuslim_caffeineTry teaching that to my child, I hope you'd have health insurance in that case. And a will.
What history? Nothing was learnt here. Also why would it be in school.
@@joshuajones4765I am a gay history major and sure may also be that but you left out the part where it has no educational merit. “Disgusting”? Sure jan
You should make an episode about the portrait of Dorian gray! It's quite interesting how he managed to write such obvious bisexual characters in the age he lived in
It would be great if he could cover Oscar Wilde's trials and circumstances in general, because they have affected so much of queer history and culture. I'm sure I could find examples in modern media of someone owning a book by/or having a picture of him as offhand for being a member of even the *wider* LGBT+ community -- which sucks because now my family is onto me. lmao
@@fruitygarlic3601 ,live your Life,and hold your head up high!
I think Oscar knew how people live in denial that was why he wrote about this stuff he wanted know how much their gonna deny😑😂
@@michaelgaynor6866 It is very difficult 2 do so in The South, 4 an older person, it seems. But the little quote is bracing.
Great suggestion. Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray had a great impact on my life.
last time I was this early i was straight
Sam Is Bootylicious I've never been this early
Sam Is Bootylicious lol same
@david nichols You have neither fact, nor reason to support your ignorant assertive opining. It is in fact not a mental disorder. The fact that you don't like something as much as someone else does, or that someone is different than you, does not a mental disorder make. Humans are free to explore and use their anatomy in many ways as we always have.
@david nichols The process of developing your opinions, or your opining, is demonstrably based on ignorance, as you indicate again with your reply to me. Being LGBTQ is not a mental disorder, that is fact. And yes, you do not get to decide it is one. So your original assertion it's a mental disorder is incorrect and an ignorant statement or opinion. Either you are ignorant, or a troll attempting to get me to debate in circles. I am growing tired of your nonsense.
I will not do what others tell me to do without question, including those who irrationally claim they know what a creator wants, when that creator has not been proven to exist. That latter question is the first one we must answer. Presupposing a creator exists, what kind of creator would give someone a brain but expect that person not to use it to think and question? Slaves only do what they are told to do without reason or questions.
Have fun(or not) living in the Dark Ages. The rest of us are moving forward.
@david nichols It's not about what I personally would like derangement to be. You offer a diversion. You make no sense. You are hung up on whether it is proper to use opinion or opining, and choose to critique my writing style. Try debating by offering something of substance and reason instead of focusing on your preferred method of window dressing, and then you might have some credibility. By "normal" I suppose you mean socially acceptable. Being gay is socially acceptable in our society. You should give up trying to paint it as otherwise. You lose. Is your creator not claimed to be the most advanced thing in creation? Therefore, if it is presupposed that everything needs a creator, how could the most advanced thing come from nowhere? It has not been proven to exist, and it has not been proven that anyone has contact with it, nor can they speak or act for what has not been shown to exist! How could a perfect creator create an imperfect world? Use your brain in accordance with "The Good, not with Death", you say? That is mumbo-jumbo. It makes no sense.
This video is really educational Honestly they should teach this stuff in schools too
Agreed!
Mary Soni Totally! this is something I would love to study about,Cause LGBTQ+ Is a big part of the community since forever there has always been queer people and now that its more open and legal it would be really cool if they teach about it in schools and stuff
I TOTALLY AGREE! I would be so passionnate in the subject that people will find me weird😂
Mary Soni That's exactly that😂 (if we put aside the fact that being gay is not weird)
Mary Soni I agree so much about that, my school teaches all forms of sex but I know for a fact not all schools do, It's something that should he taught everywhere!
your voice sounds really nice and i don't know how no one's told you yet.
the original gay agenda
1. Going to gay bars
2. Watch films with us in then.
3. Have secret “friend” so that I’m still in the job.
the 20s is such an epic time to me, ahhhh the entire musical and fashion style is so “A E S T H E T I C” to me, especially since music and fashion are two of my favorite things.
SO TRUE❤👏🏻
There’s actually a little more to the Haines story. He chose the man over the job, so he wasn’t fired outright.
In 1933, Haines was arrested in a YMCA with a sailor he had picked up in Los Angeles' Pershing Square. Louis B. Mayer, the studio head at MGM, delivered an ultimatum to Haines: Choose between a sham marriage or his relationship with Shields. Haines chose Shields and they remained together for 47 years. Mayer subsequently fired Haines and terminated his contract.
Actor William Haines would not consent to a "Lavender Marriage", which L.B Mayer wanted him to... Of course he fired Haines from the studio, however Haines went on to become a wealthy interior designer, and told Mayer to kiss his ass...lol... Rich Hollywood still loved him, and Mayer could not control that.
His biography is great. He was out on his own in his early teens living a fascinating life.
I would write a better comment, but I'm worried if I don't hurry this video will disappear.
I love this video. Feeling a bit more informed on LGBT+ history. Also I'm never this early to these videos so wow feeling accomplished
I wish people were more informed of this. This is great.
I'M A RAGING BISEXUAL
I'm pansexual and apparently don't exist.
Bellaspired 💖 you're valid
Bellaspired you exist don't worry!❤💛💚💙💜 we're all here for you! We're all here for each other!

I'm a wacky bisexual, check and mate
Bellaspired Honestly same.
I’m black, gay and PROUD and I love 💗 💖 💕 my LGBTQIA+ 🏳️🌈 family across the Globe
I really love this channel. It's the best. Love you Alex!
As a trans man myself, I am very upset that this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Alan L. Hart. This is why we need queer history in classrooms.
My hair is straighter than I’ll ever be
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I can relate 🤚🏽
Same! And mines got a bit of curl. 😂
I can confirm this🤷🏾♂️
same 😂🤣 I literally have an afro
Man, you're doing an amazing job! I've thought about learning more about LGBTQ+ history and here you are, reading my mind. Thanks for this, looking forward to next videos.
Yes LGBT-history is my passion! Great video!
hey I just found your videos and I want to congratulate you on them! They're really easy to follow and the production is great, I know most of the history anyway but I'm glad that it's accurate and informative. Keep it up, and happy pride!
Thanks for putting a spotlight on our LGBTQ+ forebears. We've always been part of Human History from the beginning and it's not new, but rather the Human condition.
i love this so much !! i'd be super interested in more videos about queer history from you! you're one of my fave youtubers, keep up the good work
awesome video!! please keep making these, i love feeling Educated and Informed and this format is perfect for me and my short attention span
This is a great start to a much needed series! I'm a questioning history need and this makes me feel connected. Thanks for showing that Queerness didn't just appear in the 70'a like Athens from the mind of Zeus.
I've never been so willing to learn about history in my life
This series is phenomenal. Thanks for all your hard work!!
Very well done, superb editing and the historic photos are amazing, thanks for making this 🎥
IM CRYING thank you NEW VIDEO WHOOOO
This is so cool! I'm super excited to see the next episode!!
i'm so glad that I found and subscribed to your channel. please keep making these videos.
-from a fellow bi girl
Wow, these are amazing. So, proud of your work!
Wow! This was cool! I'm glad to hear that it's a series too! :)
Thank you for helping us remember our brothers and sisters. They deserved better than the time periods afforded them. Wish we could time machine them to better eras
wait do straight people actually watch this?
EDIT: since people seem to not know how to read, im going to say im sorry and i didn't mean to come off as rude or condescending.
IShould BeSleeping - Yes? I love to learn about this stuff. It's interesting to see how society is progressing over time.
Söda pöp im sorry if i came off hostile, i didn't mean it that way. i was just a bit curious. sorry again!
here! 🙋😊
present?
IShould BeSleeping yup I watch it and I subscribed to Alex.
Ha...ha...GAY-
O-oh wait, I am....

My uncle who’s now happily married to his partner who I now call Uncle as well but for years my uncle was in a loveless marriage to a woman who he seen. Ore as a friend for years as he was scared to come out he married in late 70s early 80s but they divorced in late 90s and he dated a few guys till he met his partner and they got married 3 years ago and are so so happy and their an awesome couple and they have a lot of other Gay friends who I met and they are cool I have quite a few Gay friends and lesbian friends too through my 2 uncles but I feel noons should have to hide their sexuality and I feel so bad for the people that did in the past
I did a research paper on the topic and the opening paragraph and the opening to this video were identical
I'm so glad you made this vid.
Love the channel Alex! And love your voice too 😍
I am SO ready for this series
I think this is going to be a great series
So happy to seeing you posting again😊
A SERIES!!!! Does this mean they'll update more?
Dude, I love your videos so much. Thanks for existing.
Just came out the closet. I'm here to catch up on what I missed
I used to push aside the gay part of my bisexuality for a long time even after coming out and lately just indulging freely in the history of the LGBT movements and what has been fought for just feels amazing.
I am so happy you're posting again!!!!!!!
Yes you're back!! 🎉🎉
I love this series and hope you will consider doing more. The story's not over yet.
Dafuq you talking about?
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 clarify your question, it is vague.
@@bodeneivy1006 basically I wanted the same from you lol EDIT: autocorrect
This is actually really cool information on our history. Thank youuu ❤️❤️
I remember hearing about a funny story
When being gay was announced as a illness in Sweden everyone called in sick with gay
Me: I cant go to work, Im gay 🤣
Ha why can't they do that in America I could use a few days off😂
Dude, I missed you so much, I'm crying.
Loving this series Alex!!
these queer history videos are so entertaining, the best thing ever💖.
They make me more interested in looking into it on my own.
I'm 2 years late but I still made it. Amazing video. It's gay pride month 2020. And I'm learning more about LGBTQ history. And thankfully there's a whole lot of it.
Very interesting series, looking forward to more!
I'm so exited for this series.
I wasn't recruited, I enlisted.
Such a great video, highly informative ! Thanks !
thanks for making this after my school project on the very same subject.
Interesting video! I'm looking forward to the next one
This was awesome keep doing more!
Thank you SO much for this series, I'm showing it to my LGBT+ club students :)
I love this! I'm big about history and I'm proud of my LGBT+ self! Keep up the good work!
I love this so much. I always wanted to learn about LGBT+ history, but SURPRISINGLY they don't teach that much of it, or any of it, in schools. Can't wait for the next addition.
WHERE HAS THIS BEAUTIFUL CHANNEL BEEN ALL MY LIFE
Amazing vid, I love to know more about the community although I'm not from the USA is nice to learn about the fight in other countries and how that has influenced others
I started tearing up when it got to Allan Haines for some reason. Watching this video just stirred so much pride in me!
I’m so happy you mentioned William Haines. Louis B Mayer demented Haines make a statement to the press that he was not homosexual and also told Haines he had to leave jimmy. Haines famously said “sure, I’ll leave Jimmy. If you leave your wife.” what fucking balls haha. So of course his contract with the studio was terminated. But he became an interior designer for the stars like director George Cukor and actresses Gloria Swanson and Joan Crawford. Joan, who was a close friend of Haines once said that he and Jimmy were “The happiest couple in Hollywood”
It’s always good to be reminded that acceptance isn’t a continuum. We have had it and lost it to varying degrees over the last century. What we have is under threat again
oh we just did a project on the roaring twenties and i loved flappers
Well done. Great to listen to.
Splendid presentation w. fine visuals, Alexander, although perhaps you might consider doing another to greater depth by the decade? Surely there is enough material for it and, our subject does deserve such deep treatment, I do believe.
. : .
this was really informative! thanks :)
this is what I subscribed for THANK
Ah! Thank you! I‘m writing a story that takes place in the 1890‘s and has LGBT+ characters at the moment. It‘s kinda heard to do all that research, but enormously interesting too. Videos like these help a lot!
So, imagine a famous Hollywood actor falling in love with an aspiring actor in the 50s. It's just sad that the love story ends in a sad ending; the aspiring actor married a woman and had children with her, and the famous Hollywood star's unnoticed love still lingers as he stays by the new actor's side for the rest of their lives as best friends... And nothing more.
It's just so cruel; society must change. Sure, LGBTQ is accepted nowadays but homophobic bastards still exist, so you can't really say that LGBTQ people (like me, for instance) are fully accepted.
Can you do spideypool next? Love your videos btw!
Thank your for sharing this information in such an accesible way!
wait a minute. your name is Alexander and you're bi. Alexander Hamilton was bi. is anyone named alex automatically bisexual???? have i started a new conspiracy???
my name is Alex and I'm Pan so idk
lol
I'm another Alex, and I'm ALSO a bi guy. I think that supports it.
I'm Alex but I'm gay so
ayeletdrago this post is beautiful
yus finally a new video :D
Thanks for keeping our history alive!
PANIC! AT THE DISCOOOO????
Probably one of my favourite youtubers
This video better not disappear smh
I love learning about LGBTQ history from 19th and 20th century's it's so interesting
If people understood that gay was not "bad" and that it's not "chosen".. the world would be so much better. Some people are only attracted to the same sex. This is very easy for me to understand- and I'm straight.
It’s 1:30am and my pansexual self is shookth!
What happened to the Stiles and Derek video?
It was taken down because of copyright infringement :(
:((((((((((((
Idk bout you guys but I can still watch the video. Maybe because I'm in the uk? Idk
Nevermind i can still watch it too
I can still watch it, as well.
great video! very educational. a bit late, but i recommend the short film "different from the others" from 1919, a german production written by a doctor who was strongly against the homophobic laws that were present at the time. i think i once read it was the first directly "pro-gay" movie
Never again will the evil among us drag us back to the 50s.

The speak is like a machine gun. The pictures flicker.
I am exhausted at 0:31.
When I think of the 20s and gay I immediately think of Thomas barrow from downton abbey
I HAVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST BEFORE!! HISTORY AND GAYYS!!! YASSSS!
Thanks for the history 👌🏻❤️
Awesome video!
