1970 –
Sometime in the 1940s a sign appeared over the popular Los Angeles bar at Barney’s Beanery that read “FAGOTS – STAY OUT.” The message so offended the locals that Life magazine did an article on opposition to the sign in 1964, which included a photograph of the owner steadfastly holding on to it. The owner died in 1968, and efforts continued to have the sign removed. The Gay Liberation Front organized a zap of the restaurant on February 7, 1970 to push for its removal. The sign disappeared that day. The sign was put up and taken down several times over the next 14 years, but the practice ended in December, 1984, days after the city voted itself into existence. The then-mayor, Valerie Terrigno, the entire city council and gay-rights activists marched into Barney’s and relieved the wall of the offending sign. It was held by Morris Kight for many years and now rests in the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives.

Blogger Nina Notes The source site incorrectly uses the term “LGBT” which was not used until the 1990s, when bisexual was discussed in Gay and Lesbian Media. Pornography representation was across all the lettered subcategory in “LGBT” which is pronounced Queer as the slur across all the demographics.
1978: The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passes a so-called “Teacher Fitness” statute, which allows local school boards to fire homosexual teachers or any teacher “advocating . . . encouraging or promoting public or private homosexual activities.” The National Gay Task Force later files suit to challenge the law’s constitutionality.
Blogger Nina Notes: English is a Heteronormative language where terms that apply to males exclusively include females to avoid creating words that include both. Until the 2010, language pertaining to women did include men in that woman is a slur used by men that for men, includes gay men, bisexual men and men who self id as women.
Queer was and remains a slur for nonheterosexuals. It should be The Q-Word.

The first lesbian kiss on television occurs between Amanda Donohoe and Michelle Green on L.A. Law. The “lesbian kiss episode” is a subgenre of the media portrayal of lesbianismin American television media, created in the 1990s. Beginning in 1991 with a kiss on the American L.A. Law series’ episode “He’s a Crowd” between C.J. Lamb and Abby Perkins, David E. Kelley, who wrote the episode in question, went on to use the trope in at least two of his other shows. Subsequent television series included an episode in which a seemingly heterosexual female character engages in a kiss with a possibly lesbian or bisexual character. In most instances, the potential of a relationship between the women does not survive past the episode and the lesbian or suspected lesbian never appears again.
Blogger Nina Notes- given this unwanted kiss, I am unsurprised….

2012:
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California rules 2–1 that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional because it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. In the ruling, the court said, the law “operates with no apparent purpose but to impose on gays and lesbians, through the public law, a majority’s private disapproval of them and their relationships.”
Blogger Nina Notes: Gay Men and Lesbians went to court to ask for equal treatment under the law and an end to the horrid behaviour of heterosexuals, largely via religion. Heterosexuality is not horrid in or of itself as Trans Gender ID Asserts, despite cotton ceiling expecting heterosexuality with extra steps.

Blogger Nina Notes:
The Day The Music Died as a North American Cultural Event, understanding co-opting culture to understanding co-opting oppression. Who gets to have sex with who, where and why – religion and marriage equality through artistic and popular expression so the masses see representation of all the ways that humans can exist.
Rock and Roll was slang for sex before it was a music genre.
Elvis Presley did not sing note for note nor word for word covers, he sang Blues as Country and Western as Rhythm, delivered with a Saturday Night just got paid urgency before the purity regret of Sunday Morning.
Elvis sang Jailhouse Rock when prisons were not co-ed.
