![]() ![]() For many queer women, first love means falling for a friend, hiding your feelings and hoping they’ll pass, pretending to like boys - and underneath all that, praying she feels it, too.” If I’ve learned anything in this corner of the internet, I’m not the only one. Personally, I’ve fallen for a best friend before, and am all too familiar with the startle in my throat and the spark in my heart that means this is going to hurt. When queer women post TikToks and Tumblr manifestoes, they’re writing toward and through their fave - not the pop star, or the actress, or the athlete, but the fantasy of a closeted queer woman agonizingly in love with her best friend, the idol so many women like me desperately want her to be. “These love stories offer us an opportunity to write our own folklore. “Social media is rife with fans who believe their fave is secretly queer - and there’s liberation in their fanciful theories.” Chapter 32: Teaching LGBTQ History and Heritage by Leila J.Wow, I’m not sure what to think about the wording in this article… it feels so reductive and icky.Chapter 31: Interpreting LGBTQ Historic Sites by Susan Ferentinos.Chapter 30: Nominating LGBTQ Places to the National Register of Historic Places and as National Historic Landmarks: An Introduction by Megan E.Chapter 29: Chicago: Queer Histories at the Crossroads of America by Jessica Herczeg-Konecny.Chapter 28: Queerest Little City in the World: LGBTQ Reno by John Jeffrey Auer IV.Chapter 27: Locating Miami’s Queer History by Julio Capó, Jr.Chapter 26: Preservation of LGBTQ Historic & Cultural Sites – A New York City Perspective by Jay Shockley.Chapter 25: San Francisco: Placing LGBTQ Histories in the City by the Bay by Donna J.Chapter 24: LGBTQ Sport and Leisure by Katherine Schweighofer.Chapter 23: LGBTQ Art and Artists by Tara Burk.Chapter 22: LGBTQ and Health by Katie Batza.Chapter 21: Struggles in Body and Spirit: Religion and LGBTQ People in US History by Drew Bourn.Chapter 20: LGBTQ Military Service by Steve Estes.Chapter 19: Historical Landmarks and Landscapes of LGBTQ Law by Marc Stein.Chapter 18: LGBTQ Civil Rights in America by Megan E.Chapter 17: Sex, Love, and Relationships by Tracy Baim. ![]() Chapter 16: LGBTQ Business and Commerce by David K.Chapter 15: Making Community: The Places and Spaces of LGBTQ Collective Identity Formation by Christina B. ![]()
