Monument of Unwavering Love Historical Figures and the Persecution of Their Love

From antiquity to the 20th century, significant individuals who were in homoromantic relationships often faced challenges and criticism. Their stories are testimonials to the courage and resilience in the face of societal hostility.

Hadrian and Antinous: Love Against the Empire The relationship between Roman Emperor Hadrian and his beloved Antinous was a mix of deep affection and public scandal. After the mysterious death of Antinous, Hadrian deified him, which caused discontent among the Roman elite. This worship was not only an act of mourning but also a defiance of the norms of Roman society.

Oscar Wilde: The Price of Truth In Victorian England, the famed writer Oscar Wilde paid a high price for his homosexual relationships. His conviction for "indecent acts" led to a harsh prison sentence that ruined his health and destroyed his career. Wilde's case was a clear signal of the intolerance toward homosexuality during this era.

Alan Turing: A War Hero Betrayed by His Own Country Alan Turing, whose work was crucial to the Allied victory in World War II, was persecuted for his homosexuality. At a time when homosexual acts were illegal in Britain, Turing underwent a medical treatment mandated by the court, which was seen as an alternative to imprisonment, and contributed to his premature death.

Frida Kahlo: An Art Icon in the Gender Norms Crossfire Although Frida Kahlo's bisexual relationships were not the cause of public animosity, she lived in a society where such relationships were considered taboo. Kahlo's self-portraits and works reflect her personal struggles and her courage to challenge the conventional gender roles of her time.

Bayard Rustin: In the Shadow of the Civil Rights Movement As an openly gay man and a key advisor to Martin Luther King Jr., Bayard Rustin often had to put his sexuality behind his work for the civil rights movement in the 1960s USA. Despite his significant contributions, he was attacked by opponents both inside and outside the movement because of his homosexuality.

Leonard Matlovich: A Soldier Against Silence Vietnam War veteran Leonard Matlovich, who appeared on the cover of "Time" magazine, was one of the first to challenge the ban on homosexuality in the U.S. military. His fight against discrimination sparked a national discussion about the role of LGBTQ+ individuals in service.

Reposted from @center_on_halsted For our third Black LGBTQ hero featured as part of the Center’s celebration of Black History Month, we are pleased to highlight the inspiring Bayard Rustin. Bayard Rustin was an African American leader in social movements for civil rights, socialism, nonviolence, and gay rights. "I chose him as my historical figure because he was instrumental in organizing the 1963 March on Washington where the famous Dr. King speech, 'I Have a Dream,' was delivered. Even though Rustin was one of the leaders, he was asked to take a back seat because other religious group leaders did not want his homosexuality to overshadow the message and moment they were trying to create with the March." -Keith Butler, Executive Assistant #BHM #LGBTQhero #JamesBaldwin #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqMsR_vqa7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two years ago, the LGBTQ community was struck with one of the most horrific tragedies in our history. As a team made up of all queer folk (gay, lesbian, bi, pan), 3 of whom have lived in Orlando, this hit us very hard. We responded the way most artists would: by putting those feelings into our art and immediately collaborating to make a story about how we feel when attacks like this happen: http://bit.ly/KRQZ01 The queer community has faced much adversity but we have never let it defeat us, and we never will as long as we stand together in our fight and our support. #pride #onepulse #lgbtqheroes #inmemorium #gonebutnotforgotten #gaysagainstguns #lgbtq #queerheroes #strongertogether #pulse #standwithorlando #gay #gaypride #gayart #gaycomics #gayheroes #gaysuperheroes #transheroes #transsuperheroes #transpride #queer #queerpride #LGBT #LGBTQIA #LGBTpride #pridemonth

Reposted from @center_on_halsted Today marks the first in a series of black LGBTQ heroes we'll post throughout February based on staff recommendations in celebration of Black History Month. James Baldwin's “Giovanni's Room” was a hugely formative book for me when I first read it at 19. Since that time, I've devoured almost everything else he wrote. His perspective and activism as a gay, black man through the Civil Rights Movement and beyond continue to be an inspiration not only to myself, but to countless others worldwide. - Ben Sprunger, Manager of Individual Giving #BHM #LGBTQhero #JamesBaldwin #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CoK25t_r7mD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
