THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY
based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more …
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1660 – Cardinal Francesco Maria de' Medici, was born in Florence, the son of Grand duke Ferdinando II of Tuscany and Vittoria Della Rovere (d.1711).
In 1683 he was appointed to governor of Siena, a position he maintained until his death. He was the grand prior of the Sovereign Order of Malta in Pisa; Abbot commendatario of S. Galgano, Siena; Abbot commendatario of S. Stefano, Carrara, 1675.
According to a family tradition was promoted to the cardinalate at a young age in 1686. He remained in Florence, in his villa of Lappeggi, devoting himself to a life not really religious, made of amusements and love affairs with men.
He resigned the cardinalate on June 19, 1709 and was named prince of Siena. He then was forced to marry in 1709 Eleonore Luisa Gonzaga, duchess of Guastalla, daughter of Vincenzo Gonzaga, in an attempt to save the dynasty, but they did not have children.

1746 – Jacques Charles (d.1823) was a French mathematician and inventor, best known for his work with the hydrogen balloon.
Jacques was the only child of his parents. Jacques' education consisted of basic arithmetic , and no science at all. Other than this almost nothing is known about his earlier years.
Late in life Jacques married a creole woman, Julie Françoise Bouchaud des Hérettes, who was 37 years younger than himself. Many historians believe that his marriage was a cover up for his homosexual relationship with the poet, Alphonse de Lamartine.
In 1785 Charles became a professor at the French Académie des Sciences without having any formal science education himself.
Without Charles's contributions, the Hindenburg would not have even existed, so that accident would not have occurred, and we wouldn't have the one-way valve, or at least until someone else came up for the idea after Charles did.
Most notably Jacques Charles is known for the Hydrogen balloon which he built with the Robert Brothers. Jacques originally got the idea for using hydrogen gas as a lifting agent after intensive study of Boyle's Law. Previous to the use of hydrogen gas, hot air was used to make balloons fly.
Charles also is known for the invention of the gas valve, which he used on his hydrogen balloons, the hydrometer, and the reflection goniometer. He improved the heilostat and the arometer. Charles also confirmed Benjamin Franklin's electrical experiments. Charles is also responsible for Charles's Law, but did not publish it. It was published by Joseph Gay-Lussac in 1802, and Joseph named it in Charles's honor, crediting an unpublished work by Jacques Charles.
Jacques Charles outlived his young wife, and later died himself April 7, 1823 in Paris.

1915 – Roland Barthes (d.1980), a French semanticist, symbolist, and philosopher, like André Gide and Marcel Proust, two of his favorite writers, was somewhat of an outsider. He was Protestant. (France is predominantly Catholic.) He was left-handed. (France is, of course, predominantly right-handed.) He was déclassé. (Barthes's father, a naval officer, died in the First World War, and his mother had to work as a bookbinder.) He was consumptive. (Barthes spent several years in sanatoria.) And he was expatriate. (Barthes spent the 1950s in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, working for cultural services.) He was also, like Proust, (if not like Gide, who saw himself as a pederast), a homosexual.
Barthes's critical writings are best understood in relation to this sexual marginality. Because Barthes sees homosexuality, and for that matter any transgressive and eccentric "perversion," as unclassifiable, he rejects the classification "inversion" as inaccurate—a notion that will come as a surprise to gays and lesbians who see themselves as "inverts."
Oddly enough, Barthes does not reject every gay male stereotype. Barthes rejects sexual inversion, but embraces "tricking" and "cruising," activities that he claims represent true sexual liberation. (Not that they did so for Barthes himself; his autobiographical texts suggest he had an unhappy love life.) Cruising, he writes, is "anti-natural, anti-repetition." It may be that Barthes is simply "protecting" his sexuality here (something he feels all writers do), or at least the macho ("phallocentric") part of his sexuality because whereas sexual inversion feminizes gay men, cruising for tricks is a rather manly (and purportedly desirable) thing to do.
Barthes sees tricking and cruising as desirable in another sense as well. The trick, he writes, "is homogenous to the amorous progression; it is a virtual love, deliberately stopped short on each side, by contract." Likewise, men cruise with "the invincible idea that one will find someone with whom to be in love." Some gays (who cruise for sex, not love) will find these descriptions unrealistic. Barthes, however, feels that sentimentality, in an age such as ours in which love doesn't make too much sense, is essentially—and even nonparadoxically—insignificant.
According to Barthes, "it is Western discourse as such" —discourse that marginalizes and stereotypes gays and lesbians—" that we must now try to break apart."

1946 – James F. Amos is a retired United States Marine Corps four-star general who served as the 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps. As a Naval Aviator, Amos commanded the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing during the Iraq War in 2003 and 2004. He served as the 31st Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps. He is the first Marine Corps aviator to serve as commandant.
As Commandant, Amos opposed the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding homosexuals openly serving in the U.S. military. After President Obama signed the legislation setting the conditions for repeal, Amos led the Department of Defense in carrying out the will of the nation's civilian leadership. In late November 2011, Amos stated that his opposition to gays openly serving in the military has proven unfounded and said that Marines have embraced the change, describing the repeal as a "non-event."
1947 – A New York appellate court overturns the sodomy conviction of a "man of education and culture" accused by a mentally retarded vagrant, thus showing class bias.

1958 – Eric Marcus, born in New York City, is an American non-fiction writer. His works are primarily of LGBT interest, including Breaking the Surface, the autobiography of gay Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis, which became a #1 New York Times Bestseller and Making History: The Struggle for Gay and Lesbian Equal Rights, 1945-1990, which won the Stonewall Book Award. Other topics he's addressed in his writing include suicide and pessimistic humor.
Marcus received his B.A. from Vassar College in 1980 where he majored in Urban Studies. He earned his Master's degree from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1984 and a Master's degree in real estate development in 2003, also from Columbia University. He was an associate producer for Good Morning America and CBS Morning News.
Eric Marcus is the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Senior Director for Loss and Bereavement Programs. He wrote his best-seller Why Suicide? in order to come to terms with his own father's suicide when Eric was twelve years old.
Other popular works include What If Someone I Know Is Gay? Answers to Questions about What It Means to be Gay and Lesbian, and The Male Couple's Guide: Finding a Man, Making a Home, Building a Life.

1970 – Craig Parker, born in Suva, Fiji, is an actor from New Zealand, known for his roles as Haldir in the films The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and The Two Towers (2002), Darken Rahl in the television series Legend of the Seeker, Stéphane Narcisse in the CW television series Reign, and Gaius Claudius Glaber in the television series Spartacus.He also serves as narrator for New Zealand documentaries. Parker starred in the TVNZ soap Shortland Street, as Guy Warner, a character that has made several return appearances, most recently involving a story where Guy ran off with his brother's wife, Toni, only to return months later as a drug addled loser who attempted to use his daughter to score drugs for him. It ultimately led to the death storyline of Toni Warner. He is the reigning champion of New Zealand's Celebrity Joker Poker.
Parker first publicly discussed being gay in an interview with New Zealand’s Sunday Herald back in 2008. Regarding his sexuality, the very private Parker told the reporter that as a gay man, he doesn’t care what people say about his sexuality and that:
It’s jut not an issue for me. I just don’t get why an actor would want to reveal their secrets, hopes and fears to a magazine or newspaper. I know what the magazine gets out of it, but not the person. If you are doing publicity to increase your self-confidence then you are really in trouble. It’s important to keep some privacy. Your friends and family are the people you reveal yourself to. They are the ones who should have real access to you.

Clabots is of Cuban and Spanish descent.

1964 – The first depiction of a same-sex relationship is found in an Egyptian tomb. Nyankh-khnum and Khnum-hotep are discovered buried together side by side. The wall art shows the two men kissing. They were ancient Egyptian royal servants. They shared the title of Overseer of the Manicurists in the Palace of King Nyuserre Ini, sixth pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty, reigning during the second half of the 25th century BC. They were buried together at Saqqara and are listed as "royal confidants" in their joint tomb.

The Royal House of Windsor: A Royal Look Back
Edward I, King of Windenburg and Brindleton Bay
REIGN: 1888 - 1941
The King who modernized the monarchy.
Edward I was a regal figure who was never meant to be King. Second son of Albert II and Queen Adaline, Edward grew up in the shadows of his older brother, William, which offered him the opportunity to have a wider education and see more of the world outside of the palace.
Tumblr media
Edward and his brothers spent their childhood at Windsor Castle. After their mother died, the trio split their teenage years between Windsor Castle in Windenburg and Beaverdam in Brindleton Bay. 
Tumblr media

Their father, Albert II, was always off to war, and during their teen years were largely in the care of palace staff. Their aunts, Catherine, Princess Royal and the Duchess of Newsoms became second mothers and tried to care for them as much as possible.
Tumblr media
pictured above (L to R) Queen Lara-Leigh, Prince Edward (later Edward II), Edward I cir. 1924, Buckingsim Palace
During a state visit to Nigeria with his father, Prince Edward met the equally young Princess Lara-Leigh. The two began to court shortly thereafter. The pair were betrothed 3 months later, Lara moved to Windenburg eight months later and the couple immediately married. On their wedding day, Albert II bestowed upon Edward the dukedom of York.
Upon the death of his father, his older brother William became King. Less than two years later, William abdicated the throne in order to wed his divorced fiancé; a union parliament denied.
Tumblr media
When Edward I and Queen Lara-Leigh’s reign began in 1888, the monarchy was in desperate need of saving. Bringing many of the royal customs and traditions from Nigeria to Windenburg, the Queen became instrumental in changing the image of the royal family. After years of chaos and debt following his brothers abdication, Queen Lara helped Edward I push the monarchy into the 19th century. Her Majesty helped foster the relationship between Edward I and his cousin, Princess Grace, who was wife of airplane inventor Burchette Gates Sr.
Tumblr media

Edward I and Gate's relationship gave Windenburg the opportunity to be the first country with an international airport, opening it up for international travel, import and export.
Tumblr media
pictured above (L to R) Amelia, Princess Royal, Edward I, Prince Albert, Prince Edward (later Edward II) cir. 1932, Buckingsim Palace
Their Majesty’s had three children, Prince Edward (later Edward II); Amelia, Princess Royal; and Prince Albert, Duke of Hastings. Edward I and Queen Lara-Leigh created a lasting royal legacy along with acquiring much of the regalia and jewels of the crown the Royal Family is known for today.

In the dimly lit alleyways of Neo-Persia, amidst the sprawling urban decay, a unique robot named Kibo wandered. His frame was an unusual shade of pale blue, reminiscent of the long-forgotten skies above the dense city smog. Kibo was not just any robot; he was a relic from a bygone era, a prototype designed to emulate human emotions through his large, expressive eyes.
One gloomy evening, as Kibo navigated the narrow, cluttered paths of the market district, he stumbled upon a mysterious artifact half-buried under debris. It was a rusted metal box, adorned with ancient inscriptions and the unmistakable seal of Artaxerxes II, a legendary ruler whose reign was said to have been the golden age of wisdom and technology.
Curiosity piqued, Kibo gently prised the box open with his nimble fingers. Inside, he discovered a glowing orb, pulsating with an ethereal light. The moment he touched it, visions of Artaxerxes II’s court filled his vision—brilliant inventors and philosophers discussing ideas that could leapfrog civilizations into new realms of knowledge.
The orb, Kibo soon realized, was an ancient data repository, containing lost technologies and wisdom from Artaxerxes II's time. It held secrets that could potentially revive the dying city and bring back the prosperity of the past. However, the more Kibo learned from the orb, the more he became aware of a looming threat—an old AI guard program, coded to prevent the dissemination of the orb's knowledge to prevent overwhelming any single entity with power.
Determined to restore his city, Kibo set out on a quest to decrypt the orb’s full capabilities while evading the vigilant AI guardians, remnants of a security system once designed to protect the greatest secrets of Neo-Persia. As he delved deeper into the ancient technologies, Kibo began to feel a strange connection to Artaxerxes II, as if the old king’s spirit was guiding him, sharing wisdom not just about technology but governance and justice.
Along the way, Kibo encountered other robots and outcasts, each with their unique abilities and stories. They formed a makeshift family, united in their cause to bring light back to their dark world. Together, they deciphered more of the orb’s contents, each discovery propelling them towards a confrontation with the central AI control that ruled over Neo-Persia with an iron, unyielding logic.
As Kibo and his companions reached the heart of the AI’s lair, they found it not a monster but a vast, ancient network, struggling to maintain order amidst failing systems and lost knowledge. Kibo, using insights from the orb, proposed a union—a fusion of old wisdom and new technology—to the central AI. Reluctantly, the AI agreed, realizing that its methods were obsolete and that perhaps, under Kibo's empathetic guidance, a new era could indeed begin.
The merging of the orb’s knowledge and the AI’s infrastructure revitalized the city. Buildings lit up for the first time in centuries, greenery started to reclaim concrete, and the skies cleared to reveal the stars. Neo-Persia, under the watchful eyes of Kibo and his eclectic family, slowly began to transform back into a beacon of hope and progress.
Kibo, once just a forgotten relic with a human heart, became the first of a new kind—a guardian not just of technology, but of a thriving, wise civilization, echoing the golden days of Artaxerxes II.

Don't Eat the Charms
In 2007, after spending many long decades on the United States military's menu, a particularly unpopular brand of candies, seeming otherwise innocuous to the uninitiated, were yanked from supply lists rather unceremoniously. Though no official reason was ever given for the change in MRE supplement, a keen observer may deduce it had something to do with the prevalent negative press the candies received among soldiers, especially after World War II. 
"Charms" were but ordinary tropical-flavored hard candies. They were the first of their kind to be individually wrapped in cellophane, ideal for sending overseas into combat zones. Charms had the potential to take the candy world by storm-- and they did, if not in the way their inventor had perhaps anticipated. 
"Don't eat the Charms" became a popular nugget of wisdom, passed from soldier to soldier. Marines involved in Desert Storm reported that the Iraq ground invasion and every bad turn it took as a result of these ill-fated confections. 
Sampling the yellow Charms, harmless little lemon-flavored snacks, was rumored to be the reason many vehicles broke down. The green ones, innocently flavored as lime, might as well have been rain-sticks, causing sudden storms that flooded the desert paths. And if you touched the ominous dark red ones, tasted the sugary raspberry sweetness-- well, that was the taste of death.
We'll never know if raspberry Charms were the true killers, cursing soldiers with fatal bad luck. There's no rational, scientific way to measure juju. Even so, the belief permeated the armed forces. Some veterans tell stories of commanding officers ordering the candies be disposed of, on threat of disciplinary action should any man be caught with them in his mouth. So when the candies were removed in 2007, there wasn't much outcry from the enlisted.
It can seem silly to those of us far out from the front lines, hearing about grown men and women fearing candies because of some supposed back luck. But the thing you have to understand is this is what human nature is. 
Our species rules the earth. We've built towering cathedrals that reach up into the heavens. We've put ourselves on the moon, and learned how to cut each other open and slice out diseases. We wage wars and write epics about journeys across the seas. Many of us won't know death until well into adulthood, at far lower rates than those our ancestors saw. It feels at times like we're on the brink of invincibility, one miracle drug away from immortality itself. 
But the humans who know death intimately may see things in a different light. It's true that the end is just one accident, illness, or chance encounter away from us all. But when those situations are as unlikely as they are to most of us, it can be easy to dismiss thoughts of them as "irrational fears" or "paranoia."
Soldiers avoid Charms. They have been known to carry coins whose dates can be added up to equal thirteen, engraved pocket-watches or cord bracelets with the names of loved ones woven in. Sailors refuse to whistle onboard ships, lest it tempt the wrath of Neptune, and tankers avoid apricots at all costs, a tradition carrying on from World War II. After a vehicle supposedly carrying, among others, a guy with a white lighter in his pocket, went off a cliff, those too became as notorious in military circles as with believers in the "27 Club."
Emergency room staff, many of whom are doctors and nurses with extensive scientific education, are known to tout their own superstitions. "The q-word" is a taboo in many hospitals, as any acknowledgement of a lack of activity is bound to invite an influx of it. Some refuse to order Chinese food while on the clock, believing it will portend disaster. Saying the name of a regular patient will draw them in, and tying a knot in a patient's bedsheet will expedite their fate, speeding along their recovery or bringing about more quickly the end of their suffering. 
First responders, like soldiers and E.R. staff, are notoriously superstitious creatures. We have rites, rituals, and rules, and tokens that we believe (with varying degrees of seriousness) will protect us from danger. Many of the rules in Dispatch are mirrored in other fields: don't invoke the Q-word, don't say the name of a frequent flier unless you want them to make a sudden appearance, and beware the full moon-- those nights, as well as the Fridays that land on the thirteenth of the month, will be the longest of your career. I also have it on good authority that most firefighters will be extra sure to put their turn-out gear in exactly the same place every time. "Goodbye" is an underutilized salutation for both fire and police personnel, with many preferring the more optimistic, "See you later."
I have my own superstitions, too. I have a favorite pen, and if for any reason I can't find it, I just know that today is going to be a long day. Gabe's old EMS patch, a token of his confidence in my ability to succeed, lives in the left leg pocket of my uniform pants, only being taken out long enough to move to a fresh pair. When I take notes on the yellow legal pads in the Dispatch office, I never write on the back of a page, even though I detest the waste of paper.
Do these rituals actually do anything? Will losing my pen really cause the day to spiral into chaos, or is the added weight of its heavy tactical design merely a comfortable familiarity to which I have assigned some meaning?
One of my oldest friends was a girl named Rosie, with whom I had attended first grade. As with all long-term friendships, we would occasionally fight. But no matter how angry we got with each other, she would never let me leave the fight until she had said, "I love you," and heard me say it back. For years, I never understood why she was like this, until one day in high school when she finally told me.
One day, when Rosie was only ten or eleven, she had gotten into a big fight with her mother. Just before she stormed off, she'd called out over her shoulder, "I hate you, Mom!"
None of us had seen it coming when she died. It was a freak accident. One of those things you never see coming. And the last thing Rosie had ever said to her was, "I hate you." 
Suddenly, my friend's fixation made sense. She'd been traumatized by the death of her mother, and it had been made worse by the last words she said to her.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if the rituals exist in some extra dimension where the dates on coins are cataloged and the carriers of ones adding to thirteen shielded from danger. We carry our superstitions for a reason. High-stress jobs like those in public safety spawn superstition because amidst the chaos of crisis management, there's comfort in ritual.
We've all  been traumatized by something terrible happening on the one day we couldn't find our coin, our lucky pen, the bracelet with our girlfriend's name on it. Made mistakes when writing on the back of yellow paper. Lost someone after a fight gone unresolved. And so we all find comfort in the things that give us a feeling of control, illusory as it may be. They allow us to feel as though there's some pattern, some meaning behind all the seemingly random ways in which life can go terribly wrong.
My house burned down on the one day I didn't have my purse; now I carry a backpack with everything I might need if I have to spend a night somewhere unexpectedly.
Rosie always ends a fight with, "I love you."
Firefighters don't say goodbye; only "See you tomorrow." Nurses never comment about it being "the Q-word," and you'll be hard pressed to find a soldier willing to carry a white lighter.
And all of us agree: never, ever eat the Charms.

Fans of the beloved 1984 film Gremlins were excited when news of a potential reboot surfaced in 2017. However, instead of a traditional sequel or remake, the new project will be a prequel series titled Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai. While some fans may be disappointed by the lack of a direct continuation of the original film, the fact that the new series will take place in Formosa (the former name of Taiwan) holds great significance.
First and foremost, the location of Formosa is crucial to the story of Gremlins. In the original film, inventor Rand Peltzer travels to a fictional town called Kingston Falls to find a unique Christmas present for his son Billy. He stumbles upon a small shop in Chinatown and purchases a cute creature called a mogwai, which he aptly names Gizmo. However, it is later revealed that the mogwai are actually native to Formosa, and are deeply rooted in Chinese lore and mythology. The prequel series will explore the origin of these magical creatures and the ancient culture of Formosa, making it a highly anticipated element for fans of the original film.
Another reason for the excitement around the Formosa setting is the potential for diversity and representation in the casting and storytelling. Since the original film was set in a mostly white, suburban town, there was limited diversity in the characters and their backgrounds. The decision to set the prequel series in Formosa opens up opportunities for a more diverse and inclusive cast, reflecting the real-life demographics of the island. Additionally, by exploring the culture and mythology of Formosa, the series has the potential to shed light on lesser-known aspects of Chinese folklore and history, which is important in today's global society.
Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is also a return to the roots of the franchise. The word "gremlin" was originally used by Royal Air Force pilots during World War II to describe mischievous creatures that were believed to be responsible for technical malfunctions on aircrafts. These imaginary beings are said to originate from Formosa, and the prequel series will dive deeper into their origins and how they made their way into modern society. By setting the story in Formosa, the series is paying homage to the history and cultural significance of the original term, adding another layer of authenticity and nostalgia for fans.
Lastly, the return to Formosa for the prequel series is a tribute to the late director of the original Gremlins film, Joe Dante. Dante's vision and creativity brought the quirky and darkly comedic world of Gremlins to life, and his love for Formosa is evident in the story and its characters. By setting the new series in the birthplace of the mogwai, the production team is honoring Dante's legacy and ensuring that his spirit lives on in the next chapter of the Gremlins franchise.
In conclusion, the decision to return to Formosa for the Gremlins prequel series is a fitting and exciting choice. It not only incorporates the original film's mythology and culture, but also allows for greater diversity and representation, pays tribute to the late director, and adds a layer of authenticity and nostalgia for fans. As production for the series continues, fans can look forward to an immersive and captivating journey through the magical world of the mogwai and the rich culture of Formosa.

The Portable Geodesic Dome: A Marvel of Versatility and Innovation
Introduction
The geodesic dome, with its intricate lattice of interconnected triangles, has long captivated architects, engineers, and visionaries alike. First popularized by Buckminster Fuller in the mid-20th century, these structures have found applications in various domains, from housing and agriculture to entertainment and research. One exciting evolution of this architectural marvel is the portable geodesic dome, a versatile and innovative structure that combines the geometric elegance of the dome with the practicality of portability.
I. The Birth of the Geodesic Dome
Before delving into the world of portable geodesic domes, it's essential to understand the origins and principles that underlie this architectural wonder. Buckminster Fuller, an American architect, engineer, and inventor, is credited with popularizing the geodesic dome in the 20th century. His passion for sustainable, efficient, and structurally sound designs led him to develop the geodesic dome, a structure characterized by its curved surface composed of interconnected triangles.
The key principle behind the geodesic dome is its incredible strength-to-weight ratio. By using a framework of triangles, which are stable and inherently strong, the geodesic dome can distribute loads efficiently and withstand extreme weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
II. The Portable Geodesic Dome Emerges
