I think the Queen made a formal apology for the inexcusable way he was treated. IIRC, she also apologized that the post-war history surrounding Enigma ignored the fact that Poland cracked it way back and was only stuck by the latest versoin that'd also ground British efforts to a halt.
4:34 Lol I was waiting for him. I was like "If this bitch doesnt mention Alan Turing-" The reason I like him so much is because he is not most notable for his sexuality, but for his contributions to society.
Salamander ME TOO! I started researching him more after watching The Imitation Game and I find him so inspiring and amazing so if he wasn't mentioned I was going to hurt someone
Everyone should know the name Alan Turing. I never learned about him in school. The war would most likely have lasted several years longer and we may not have even won the war were it not for him. I'm so glad a film's been made now and he hasn't been forgotten and ignored but people like him need to show up more in today's teachings. As much as Florence Nightingale. He saved hundreds of thousands of lives and should never be forgotten. He was a hero and a genius and deserved better than he got in the end.
Wolf_Nate_1625 For my GCSE History I'm studying Germany 1918-1939, so the experiences of LGBT+ people are relevant to the topic as they show quite well the differences between Weimar and Nazi Germany, but gay people are hardly mentioned in the textbook. (Obviously this is just my school, other schools may choose different topics).
In school I was supposed to do a presentation about London but instead I started talking about Oscar Wilde. It was way much more interesting than talking about factories
4:34 Alan Turing was sent to conversion therapy and killer himself because of how much he suffered during the therapy. He helped the allies win the war and that was the thanks he got.
2manynegativewaves the state absolutely could have protected him. they knew and didn’t want to. he was vital in winning the war and they didn’t care enough to help him
kat treasure which is something I never understood. They had a MAJOR ASSEST for their military and there could be another war. Why let him rot there? Objectively, it's such a waste to let go of that type of brain power
Tessa Ellis I'm an asexual biromantic, and I'd like to point out that heterosexuality is a sexuality just like the rest. Het demisexual people shouldn't have pride either, am I right? cuz they're not even actually ace. See that's not how it works. I think only straight allies should claim pride, but I don't think het pride is a horrible thing. Furthermore, I believed I was straight for a long time. I loved a lot of LGBT+ people, and it made me feel so bad when they were hating on me for being straight. Oftentimes, they would call me homophobic and other awful things that were very close to bullying. It sometimes made me cry. But when things got hard, they'd run to me for help because I was the only straight person in school that stood up for them. So moral: don't hate straight people. They have feelings too, and the vast majority looks out for LGBT+ nowadays.
Tessa Ellis My straight friend Will had a better time at the pride parade last year than me. But, back to the question, straight people do have a pride, it's just called traffic. lol. Honestly gays would probably get called to help with the floats.
Aurora Rider Look... I get what you are saying. But I feel you don't understand the meaning behind pride. When pride is used in this context, it doesn't refer to the usual dictionary use of pride, but 'Pride' as a movement. Pride exists because of queer people (yes including yourself) standing for their rights to be accepted from the norm, including standing for their human rights. Its not specifically about homosexuality or heterosexuality. Since we are still struggling to be accepted, that is why it continues, and it is also a celebration of our history and the people who have fought for our rights and standing for those who existed throughout without being able to be themselves openly. Its obviously not the case that we hate straight people or think being heterosexuality is wrong, but those who are considered to have 'normal' sexuality, romantic attraction and gender do not need 'pride' because they have not had these experiences. Their gender and sexuality is accepted and encouraged by society, since it is the 'norm'. There is no purpose to having straight pride. They can be proud of themselves for being straight but that is not 'pride'. People who support the idea of 'straight pride' are disregarding and disrespecting queer people and our history, and the importance of pride to us, just because they don't want us to be special and want to be included in something that is not about them (very often because they are homophobic). Allies are fantastic I love them, and their contribution to the community throughout history needs to be highlighted as well, but they can only empathise with us, in the end they are not us. I'm fully supportive of Black lives Matter for example, but I'm not black and I don't have their experience, I can only be an ally.
I watched the movie The Danish Girl, it was so moving and inspiring. LGBTQ+ history has risen so much, which gives me hope. There's some problematic things within the LGBTQ+ community, not enough representation for anyone (plus there's a lot of hate within the lgbtq+ community that just makes me feel the irony in the face), but hey, at least we have some to a lot of positive influences. I'm a ftm trans guy and I hope there's more representation of trans guys, and any one else too!
I hear you, Tyler. I've been around this movement--and many other liberation movements--for almost 50 years. Stay strong. You sound like a loving person.
Jay Fulkerson I watched it with my parents about two years ago. I'm not trans but because I've taken the time to inform myself about trans people I understood the film and found it pretty inspiring. My parents on the other hand, not so much. My mom said, 'all artists are queer' and my dad asked me, 'are you going to be queer too?' (I'm an artist). My answer at the time was no, but I've discovered since that I'm bisexual..heh. It's so nice to see LGBT+ representation in films.
Why would your parents--knowing the content of the film--make such a statement? And, if you knew in advance (which I'm sure you did) that they were indeed the kinds of people (hateful bigots) to make such a statement, why would you drag them to that film? Your statement makes no sense whatsoever, unless you're crazy. Then it all becomes illuminated.
Alan Turing's life story is terribly heart-breaking. I watched "Imitation Game" and absolutely loved Cumberbatch's vibrant performance, but from what I've been told, reality was even darker...
Was really annoyed when the Turing movie barely talked about his personnal history. They didn't touched on how he died and why they treated him like that... They pretty much erased history :/
I screamed when I saw Alan Turing. He is so amazing, the war ended early because of him. Okay, he shortened the war by 2 years, saving 1,000,000+(I'm pretty sure) lives. And then he had to go through hormonal therapy. There is a movie about it on Netflix (The imitation game) and it's so good, Alan Turing is played by Benedict Cumberbatch and uGH IT'S JUST SO FUCKING GOOD.
Your previous video has inspired me to create a fictional work ( a novel) about this topic. I believe people must realize that the LGBT+ community has been here longer then "recent" years. Many people belive that being gay is "new" as in being gay or being in the LBGT did not exist ever until recent. However they dont relize that this important part of history was just swept under the rug and was not properly taught!
Your channel is a godsend. Seriously, you put in so much hard work and your videos are incredibly well produced, as well as well researched, aesthetically pleasing and very educational. Plus, you have a very personable way of explaining everything, and you're very likeable. You deserve many more subscribers.
VERRY INFORMATIVE,,, IM 65, YR GAY MAN.. and i dont give a shit what anybody thinks of me,, shame that lots of youngsters commiting suicide dont think the same, god bless em,, !!! i was BORN gay, and will DIE gay... and loved every minute. !! thank you.
This was a beautifully produced piece. What I find particularly disheartening is the almost total lack of pre-Stonewall cis gay male history. The trans women in the 1900-1945 era had more visibility, possible due to a wow factor, but more likely the increased visibility. But for masculine homosexual men who could "pass" history has all but swept them under the carpet - leaving us scratching our heads and wondering where we came from.
My grandma says that gay people didn't exist in the past and it's just something happening now because people are dirty and have no shame nowadays. I should show her these videos.
can i just say how much i love your videos? like holy hell, the pacing is good, the information interesting, and its well written. it's not that often you find that level of quality on a video.
So cool to see my lgbt ancestors and how they lived throughout the struggles of human history, the corruption, fascism and so on. How they were able to rise and fall tragically and that they and all us gay people will continue no matter what the situation. Despite hate from all the bigots who can quite frankly do one, we'll always be here.
You mentioned, sexual liberation in the 1920's. In reality the roaring 20's were the beginning of what's more a visual sexual expression. An awareness to identify. But sexual liberation is definitely hits by the 1960's.
literally thank u so much for teaching queer ppl abt our history, this information is hard to come by and they dont teach it in school so like thank u????it feels good to know all this stuff
In case anyone's interested: To find out more about Lili Elbe and Alan Turing you should totally check out the movies 'The Danish Girl' and 'Imitation Game' :)
"HOMOSEXUALITY CAN BE CURED" lmao I didn't know it was disease. Anyway, thank you for your hard work! I learned a lot! (by the way can you approve my subtitles in french? I really want my friends to understand all your videos!).
Actually, even though revolutionary Russia in 1918 was the first country to de-facto legalize gay marriage (as there was no rule forbidding gay marriages, they were calmly registered by revolutionary government bodies), it did not stay this way for a long time: in the 1920s Soviet government approved the amendment to the Family Code specifying that marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and in the beginning of 1930s homosexual relations between men (officially this was called muzhelozhstvo - the word which Google translates as sodomy, but sodomy is another word; I guess, the number of humiliating officious terms for homosexuality in Russian is higher than in English) became illegal in Soviet Union. Male homosexuality was punished by imprisonment in forced-labor camp system known as Gulag (later, after Gulag was reformed, people were imprisoned in more common jails). Male homosexuality stopped being illegal in Russia only in 1993. I'm writing it, because you said that in Poland and Soviet Union homosexuality was legal. UPD: Okay, you said that it was re-criminalized. Sorry for my fail. But I guess, someone will find some facts from my comment useful.
@Tim Keir Why should man "be fruitful and multiply?" You're probably going to say b/c God willed it so, but why did he order us to multiply? Also, what makes homosexuality a sin? There's Adonai, but why did he decree it sinful?
@Tim Keir Great! So seeing how Adonai exists, would you say that Judaism and Islam are also right? What about Catholics? Or the Eastern Orthodox? "God hates anything that doesn't lead to life. Jesus is life, and so he likes things that lead to life. " So does that mean Hashem hates heterosexual couples who are barren and infertile? They can't produce offspring, so is it a fine therefore to be biologically infertile? What would you say on people who were actually born as hermaphrodites?
@Tim Keir What makes Jesus the Lord? How do you know he is Adonai? Sure we have the entire Virgin Birth and a bunch of other miracles (even Islam acknowledges these and Mary's Virginity), but how do we determine if these were true to Hashem's deeds? How do we know if they weren't meant to be taken literally, but metaphorically like many other parts of the Bible (the Bible is full of metaphors that are unfortunately taken literally at times)? Was Christ a human? Or a spirit? What do you mean Judaism leads to Christ if practiced correctly? Seeing the many great rabbis of the past such as Maimonides and Nachmanides (the latter having the Disputation of Barcelona, which I recommend watching), how do you know Christ's claim to being the Messiah is right? ua-cam.com/video/-p3WlesJgaI/v-deo.html As for this link you provided, no offense brother, but I have my suspicions that this pastor may be a bit reminiscent to . . . a false prophet in ways. First off, this all seems set up, especially in other instances as well. And seeing this pastor's history, I have further doubts on his authenticity (such as this resurrection scheme, which is already a clear sign of false prophetness as only Christ could do such things) and see him more guided by his self-ego rather than a humble, simple faith in Hashem (Christ advocated for a simple, humble lifestyle, not one of extravagant wealth): www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2019-04-16-two-arrests-for-brighton-moyo-pastor-alph-lukau-coffin-resurrection/
This is such a great video, I love learning about these things, there's a great movie called The Danish Girl about Lili and it's so emotional and fantastic
At 1:50 the narrator states," several" were killed in the concentration camps. The estimate is closer to 60% of those sent to camps were killed. Given that 5,000 to 15,000 were sent to camps, the use of "several" is a distortion of the past and an insult to those who lost their lives.
The fact two trans men have been mentioned in both of these makes me extremely happy.We're barely visible in media and to the untrained eye we've just magically popped up and being trans is a trend.Not like people are coming out because it's a safer climate or finally have the words to match how they feel and know there's other people like them.
i love these videos so much, it's really interesting learning about the advances is lgbtq+ rights and acceptance in all the different countries and time periods
Alan Turing was given medication to chemically castrate him. He was a genius but was treated awfully due to his sexuality. A film was made about him I believe.
Would love to see you do one of these on LGBTQ contributions and benefits during the Harlem Renaissance! You mentioned the "Roaring 20s" in this video but the Harlem Renaissance was adjacent but separate happening. Love these short, east to digest LGBTQ history lessons!
Incredible history. So many beautiful people working to love working to live and risking their bodies and souls to do so. I am grateful for everything they have done, and for the record, I'm straight.
i'm from poland and i SCREAMD when he said that homosexuality was legal here. and now this country is at the point that I'm scared of even admiting that i might not be straight. and don't even get me started on legalization of lgbtq+ marriage bc I'll probably be long dead when it'll happen IF it'll happen. that's not even funny it's tragic. and to hear that the country was quite open-minded back then? huge surprise. and quite a dissapointing one taking into account today's picture of poland.
Wonderful video chronicling the often neglected, forgotten, hidden or erased history of LGBTQ+ people. One minor cavil: the discharge notice shown while talking about WWII discharges is in fact an "ordinary discharge" notice from 1918 (WWI).
Man, I can never get over the injustice Alan Turing suffered. He did so much for his country to be treated like a mental patient. It's so saddening.
agreed
love ur username ;)
Alan Turing :'c
Its really sad that he wasnt pardoned until 2013
Dylan
But, but...
My baby boys Leonardo and Hyacinthus.
It's a shame he had to be "pardoned" at all. No "pardon" necessary. They should have rehabilitated him and posthumously beg forgiveness, full stop.
I think the Queen made a formal apology for the inexcusable way he was treated.
IIRC, she also apologized that the post-war history surrounding Enigma ignored the fact that Poland cracked it way back and was only stuck by the latest versoin that'd also ground British efforts to a halt.
ITS ONLY BECAUSE OF ALAN TURING THAT we have laptops, and tablets... he gave us this... god bless him.!!
I do Believe that he is being put on the new £50 note.
I didnt know he was gay, he is one of my big inspirations, now even bigger
Exactly.I AGREE!.👍🌈
True
and because of capitalism, don't forget.

I'm gonna use this for my history project, I still haven't told my teacher my presentation is about gay people yet it might be quite a shock for him.

Good luck. I really want to see that presentation °^°

It's not that he helped, he saved millions of lives by shortening the war.

I am so happy that you are doing these because ever since I watched a video on stonewall, I've been very interested in LGBTQIA history
This is such a great video, I love learning about these things, there's a great movie called The Danish Girl about Lili and it's so emotional and fantastic
At 1:50 the narrator states," several" were killed in the concentration camps. The estimate is closer to 60% of those sent to camps were killed. Given that 5,000 to 15,000 were sent to camps, the use of "several" is a distortion of the past and an insult to those who lost their lives.
These videos are so informative and I can't wait to show them to my GSA next year !
So many uploads i'm livingg
I liked your video because your speech is neutral, like when you present Marble Hampton and you did not called her BLACK, I APPLAUD YOU FOR IT!
Another great episode, thanks for making these!
Love these! So informative. Thanks for doing them!
hope you keep doing this its awesome also it adds to your channel!
This series is golden omg your an amazing human
The fact two trans men have been mentioned in both of these makes me extremely happy.We're barely visible in media and to the untrained eye we've just magically popped up and being trans is a trend.Not like people are coming out because it's a safer climate or finally have the words to match how they feel and know there's other people like them.
Your videos are really cool! Thank you for making them and educating young people about such an important part of history. Great job!!
I am loving this series oh my god
These guys fought for us and look where we are now🙄😖
This was so well put together and informative! Keep up the awesome work :)
i love these videos so much, it's really interesting learning about the advances is lgbtq+ rights and acceptance in all the different countries and time periods
Can't believe Rosita Tharp wasn't mentioned. Music wouldn't be what it is today had it not been for her. She was a Lesibian in the 20's and 30's.
Ironic how a gay man does super mathematics
"Several" died in the holocaust? Wow.
Thankyou for this wonderful video, such a shame this isnt taught in school.
Alan Turing was given medication to chemically castrate him. He was a genius but was treated awfully due to his sexuality. A film was made about him I believe.
yes
Thank you for these videos, they have helped restore my pride for our queer ancestors and pride in my own identity in a time of stifle. Much love 💓
I’m sad this was hidden when I was a kid. There was no outlet back in the day and it’s very isolating. Thank you gays of history, so fab lol
thx so much for this series...
Putting the photos of fellow comrades in the context of gay history.
So historically accurate.
OMG 😆 haven’t you heard of the award winning movie THE CODE BREAKER which covers his whole story in most every detail. A must see ❤️
Great work! Bravo!
I love these videos so much! I would have never knew about all of this so thank you for making these videos
Damn. I really like your videos. Very well produced!
i can learn more from watching these than at school
Would love to see you do one of these on LGBTQ contributions and benefits during the Harlem Renaissance! You mentioned the "Roaring 20s" in this video but the Harlem Renaissance was adjacent but separate happening. Love these short, east to digest LGBTQ history lessons!
thank you for including black faces they often get lost
Anyone else from denmark here? :)
Love is love 🌈
Thanks for sharing this history and how our history was made back in the day!
Turing's efforts shortened the war by many months or even years, probably saving millions of lives. No good deed goes unpunished.
Love this series so much!
Incredible history. So many beautiful people working to love working to live and risking their bodies and souls to do so. I am grateful for everything they have done, and for the record, I'm straight.
I've been blessed with another video 👏🏻💕
this is the most I've learned about history
bOY AM I HERE FOR THIS
Loving this series as a teen my school in wales ( will not ) talk about lgbtq plus history which means I’m doing my own research
Thank you! These are great vids! Seeing photos of LGBT people from past generations gives me the feels. T_T
i'm from poland and i SCREAMD when he said that homosexuality was legal here. and now this country is at the point that I'm scared of even admiting that i might not be straight. and don't even get me started on legalization of lgbtq+ marriage bc I'll probably be long dead when it'll happen IF it'll happen. that's not even funny it's tragic. and to hear that the country was quite open-minded back then? huge surprise. and quite a dissapointing one taking into account today's picture of poland.
Wonderful video chronicling the often neglected, forgotten, hidden or erased history of LGBTQ+ people. One minor cavil: the discharge notice shown while talking about WWII discharges is in fact an "ordinary discharge" notice from 1918 (WWI).
I watched 'The Imitation Game' about a week ago. The movie is about Alan Turing (the mathematician) It's an amazing movie, I highly recommend it.
I hate that the word "queer" is now attached to us in this way in our own community and applies to people who aren't even gay or lesbian
I love this i would to meet these people that suffered with their identity
I love GLBTQ history its so important that we all know are history so when we can educate other communities. Thank you for shareing.
It's LGBTQ not GLBTQ
Video:Homosexuality can be Cured
Me:FAKE News
IM LOVING THE SERIES
There on the 20s where actually the counterculture really started
The jazz music is so relaxing.
Amazing video! Thank you 🖤
