August 29, 1867: While speaking to a conference of jurists in Munich, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs becomes the first known person in modern times to publicly declare himself a homosexual, and to speak out in favor of gay rights. He was forced to flee to Italy because of his outspokenness.

wwwwwwwxn

the 2ND FRIEND SUGGESTED

CAJUN, HE LOVES THE SHRIMP + CRAWFISH ETTOUFÉE BUT THE WAIT'S ALWAYS HORRENDOUS,

AND THE CROWD'S NOT ALL THAT GAY.

I JUST KNEW WE

Studying Us

Ulrichs devoted

much of his life to championing homosexual rights. In 1864 he made the earliest known estimate of the incidence of

homosexuality.

His estimate:

One German in 500. Critics said. that was absurdly high.

You STRAIGHT PERSONS NEED TO TRY THE

GUMBO..

Happy Birthday to James Baldwin

(Aug. 2, 1924-Dec. 1, 1987). A leader in the black civil rights movement, James Baldwin was also a strong supporter of gay rights, though he never really identified with the gay movement. "I don't trust any term," he said. "I love a few people; some are women and some are men; and it is all much, much more complex than those obscure definitions allow."

the LACK OF PLAN CAUSED THE 5TH FRIEND TO GROW IRRITABLE, IN FACT ALL 5 SUDDENLY BECAME QUITE SURLY, SO THEY STAYED HOME SEPARATELY, AND ATE PASTA,

GOT DEPRESSED AND WENT TO

BED EARLY.

TH

PLACE?

DOD'S OK, BUT THE COLOR SCHEMEY SO EIGHTIES..

SLAM

ACTING BLASE, BUT SECRETLY PLEASED BY THIS TURN OF EVENTS...

Sodomy laws often prohibit sex between humans and animals. Minneso

always

watching for the elusive loophole, is the only state to also explicitly outlaw sex between humans and birds.
