Today I bring you a whole playlist of LGBT+ history specific YouTube videos, resources for further research, a chronological outline of world LGBT+ history, and a variety of academic journals and articles. Much of the credit for the list goes out to Fordham University, which has an online database full of great resources. Albeit published in 1997 (the online version was last updated over six years ago), Fordham’s database serves so much use to LGBT+ people trying to build an understanding of their community and scholars alike. I have also added many links to journals and articles that were not originally mentioned in Fordham’s database.
Researching LGBT+ history was actually a very hopeful experience for me! To see so much documentation on our history was good. It really gives our educators and the media we consume no excuse to gloss over and – because they do this more often than not – ignore such rich history. So use these references for school, for your own personal gain – it doesn’t really matter. Just don’t forget our history. Don’t forget that we were always here.
As always, I’m here for constructive criticism. If you feel like I’ve referenced or used resources that are harmful (that’s like, gratuitous use of homophobic slurs like h*m*sexual or q*eer, or the use of transphobic or anti-sex work rhetoric – a lot of these resources are dated so it is very likely that these things come up,) please to let me know if you recognize it. I want my masterlists to be a safe place for all of us, so I encourage y’all to call me out if I’ve given a spotlight to someone/something that simply does not deserve it.
Come back within the week for the FINAL MASTERLIST in the series: LGBT+ RESOURCES + SELF HELP! But for now, enjoy history!
