Celebrating LGBT+ History Month
Happy LGBT+ History Month ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤💙💗🤍💜💛 to all members of the LGBTQIAPD2S+ community! To mark the 50th Anniversary of Pride March in the UK, this year's theme is Politics in Art: The Arc is Long. For more details about this month, click here. As an LGBT+ philosopher myself, I am acutely aware of the shocking lack of LGBT+ representation in philosophy, including philosophers in the history of philosophy a well as a lack of proper discussion of LGBTQIAPD+ topics in philosophy. The most famous LGBT+ philosophers in the history of philosophy are: Margaret Cavendish (genderfluid lesbian) Ludwig Wittgenstein (gay, who had a lover named F. Skinner) Foucault (gay) Judith Butler (non-binary lesbian; pronouns: they; she) Not forgetting that we should credit Jeremy Bentham for arguing against criminalizing gay men. 👏👏👏👏
