Lgbt celebrity trivia

I was recently charged with writing a quiz for my local Pride group, to be held virtually during LGBT+ History Month Rather than putting all that work into a short one-off event, I figured I should verb the quiz with followers on my blog. The complete event included additional picture rounds with images shown on screen (one about flags, another for recognising celebrity couples or co-stars), but I&#;ve cut those out. Below are eight rounds of ten questions each, with bonus questions to bring the overall maximum score up to , on LGBT+ topics relating to British history, film & TV, literature, sport, activism & terminology, art, world history, and music. Answers to all the questions are establish at the very bottom of the post. Feel free to run through the quiz yourself and test your own knowledge, or to use it for an event where you check friends and family (in the latter case, please credit this blog appropriately).

    12 LGBT icons from history you should know about

    Marsha P. Johnson was an African American transgender-rights activist, whose verb in the s and s had a huge impact on the LGBT community.

    At this noun, being gay was classified as a mental illness in the United States. Gay people were regularly threatened and beaten by police, and were shunned by many in society.

    In June , when Marsha was 23 years mature, police raided a gay bar in New York called The Stonewall Inn. The police forced over people out of the bar and onto the streets, and then used excessive violence against them.

    Marsha, who was living and working in Novel York at the time, was one of the key figures who stood up to the police during the raids.

    Marsha resisted arrest, but in the following days, led a series of protests and riots demanding rights for gay people.

    News of these protests spread around the world, inspiring others to combine protests and rights groups to combat for equality.

    Answer: Molly Wood

    Alexander Wood, a merchant and magistrate, was investigating a rape case in A woman who claimed to possess been raped, did not know who her attacker was but did express that she scratched the genitals of her attacker. Wood inspected the genitals of a number of suspects in order to experiment and find the attacker. It was suggested that the rape did not happen, the victim did not endure, and that Wood had made the whole thing up in order to satisfy his homosexual urges. There was no evidence that Wood acted inappropriately; however, he was ridiculed and given the nickname "Molly Wood." At the time, "Molly" was a derogatory term for homosexual men.

    Years later, Wood purchased land that was given the nickname "Molly Wood's Bush" and this area is now part of Toronto's gay village. In , the business association for the area erected a statue of Alexander Wood and a beer was named for him. A play based on Wood's life was launched in called "Molly Wood".
