Fun Fact!
The first acronym for the LGBT community appeared during the ‘80s, during the AIDs crisis. It was first GLBT rather than LGBT. Some say that the order of was changed from gay, lesbian, to lesbian, gay, as the feminist movement grew and became stronger.
Some also think it’s to honor the lesbians that helped during the AIDs crisis. Many lesbians helped people affected by the virus but became nurses and blood donors, called “blood sisters.” Depsite not being widely accepted at that time, the lesbians offered unwavering support.
This year will have been 54 years since the first AIDs case was reported and 54 years since the GLBT has existed.
