Thread: GLBT: How well do you know your GLBT history? (pop quiz time!) ?

The person with the most correct answers will get best answer. NO CHEATING! 1) When and where did the Stonewall riots take place? (need date and specific location) 2) Who was the creator of the first gay pride day? 3) What does the pink triangle represent? 4) Where does the term lesbian originate? 5) Who was the first male-to-female transsexual in the U.S.? 6) What is the name of the first female-to-male porn star in the U.S.?7) Who was the creator of the rainbow pride flag? 8) It is estimated that glbt teens make a suicide attempt every ______ hours because of difficulty dealing with the stresses of being glbt.Kyle..your answer to number 5 is not quite correct. While it's true that it originated as far back as indian tribes and "berdache" or two-spirits, that is in reference to TRANSGENDER. My question is aimed specifically at the first TRANSSEXUAL. The first mtf sexual reassignment surgery in the U.S.

September 1969. Stonewall Inn. New York City.?gay symbolThat island. Lesbos or something where that poet who wrote about girl on girl lived.??Gilbert Baker?Lol I fail. Sorry.

June 27, 1969 at the Stonewall Inn, NYCThe first was in San Francisco one year after Stonewall. It was called The Christopher Street Liberation Day.Nazi concentration camps designation for homosexualsIsland of Lesbos where Sappho lived? (its a guess)Christine Jorgensen, sometime in the 50'sI don't knowI believe it came about in San Francisco, Castro district with the first gay pride, I don't know who made it4 (guess)How'd I do?

1. They started June 28th1969 at the stonewall inn located on Christopher street in the village, manhattan, NY (Forgot the exact adresss because the inn moved one door over since it happened). The day was also the same date that Judy Garland was buried.2. The GLF (Gay Liberation Front) sort of started the first gay pride in 1970 as an anniversary march for the stonewall riots.3. The Pink inverted triangle was a symbol used during the holocaust to mark people that were suspected of homosexuality by Nazis. These were the people being sent to concentration camps to be put to death.4. The word lesbian originates from the Greek island of Lesbos. Sappho was a Greek poet that was thought to be a lesbian and she lived on the island Lesbos. Thus the word lesbian was created.5. That would be impossible to determine. American Indian tribes were in the US for a long time, and had a term called "two-spirit" which is in someways a person that is transgender. They might dress in the same way the opposite sex did, and worked mostly with people of the opposite of their birth sex. They were considered to be very important people in the culture. 6. Buck Angel is the first FTM in pornography. He's also the most well paid FTM in porn. He also was in the first sex scene that had two transsexuals one FTM and one MTF.7. Gilbert Baker created the original flag used in the San Francisco pride parade in 1978. It originally had 8 colors.8. It was thought to be every 5 hours, but we cannot be sure. Many suicide attempts go uncounted so it may be more like every 4 hours.EDIT TO ADD:Ah, so the first post-op in the US? Should've been a bit more specific. Technically two spirits could be transsexuals, but without the modern language we use.Not sure about who the first post-op in the US is, I know Lili Elbe was intersexed/transsexual but she was Danish.
