1910 gay beaten
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
—Wilfred Owen
«It's difficult to overestimate the impact Planet War I had on European tradition, as the first modern war prompted artists and writers to find fresh ways to symbolize life among the ruins. In addition to taking stock of how artists approached their practices as a consequence of the war, we can now, through a 21st-century lens, recontextualize and clarify the contributions of those who may not include been able to live their truest identities at the time, including homosexual artists at function in a moment of great intolerance toward minority sexualities.
Two such artists, the American painter Marsden Hartley (1877–1943) and the English poet Wilfred Owen (1893–1918), sought to memorialize the effects of the war in different ways: Hartley—one of the artists featured in the current exhibition World War I and the Visual Arts—communicated his personal grief at losing the man he loved in combat first in the war, while Owen used poetry to rail against society's largest institutions and to mourn the ways humanity had inflicted s

Difference from Pride Month
Pride is a protest, a battle cry, whereas History Month is a celebration.
LGBTQ Nation
June -- Homosexual Pride Month -- arose from remembrance and celebration of the Stonewall uprising. On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn gay bar in New York City, but the patrons resisted. The protest attracted thousands from around the city and lasted about a week. The first pride was celebrated on the one-year anniversary. ("Today in History - June 28," Library of Congress)

Gay Conversion Therapy’s Disturbing 19th-Century Origins
For the people who underwent conversion therapy, shame and pain were an undeniable part of the process. “I read books and listened to audiotapes about how to possess a ‘corrective and healing relationship with Jesus Christ,’” writes James Guay, a queer man who attended weekly therapy and conversion seminars as a teen. “These materials talked about how the “gay lifestyle” would create disease, depravity and misery. I was convinced that doing what I was told would convert my attractions—and confused about why these methods supposedly worked for others but not for me.”
In some cases, people were psychologically and even sexually abused. Others committed suicide after “treatment.” Meanwhile, evidence that any of the techniques were effective remained nonexistent.
Though the concept of gay conversion still exists today, a growing tide has turned against the practice. Today, 13 states and the District of Columbia have laws that ban gay conversion therapy practices. Victims of facilities like JONAH, or Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing, brought lawsuits for fraud. And Exodus International, an umbrella group that connec
