51 years ago, #OnThisDay in 1972, members of the Gay Activists Alliance (GAA) disrupted a ballroom event at a hotel to protest against the handling of LGBTQ stories by the media. During the third intermission, a group of approximately 25 individuals identified themselves as members of the GAA, invaded the ballroom, and began distributing fliers; one member even attempted to take the event mic.

76 years ago, #OnThisDay in 1947, newspapers began publishing clarifications on "blue discharges," a practice that denied GI benefits for veterans, sometimes on discriminatory grounds. Thousands of LGBTQ individuals were given blue discharges, which Congress recognized as a bar to benefits. Let's remember and honor the sacrifices made by LGBTQ+ veterans, and continue to fight for justice and equality for all.
