One of the most unforgettable sports fandom and LGBTQIA+ identity moments has to be, “They’re lesbians, Stacey.” In a 2021 tweet, a fan misidentified the undeniable postgame PDA between USWNT alum Kristie Mewis and Australian WNT superstar Sam Kerr (who are now engaged) as a display of “friendship.” A fellow fan then gently corrected her with the now-iconic phrase, and the rest is history.

• Competing with “They’re lesbians, Stacey” as the official catchphrase of queer sports fan culture? Hockey’s 2024 equal, “She’s gay, Marcus,” referencing another power couple: newly-married Montréal Victoire teammates Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey.

Speaking of famous sports couples, another hallmark of gender non-conforming joy in sports is when athletes date teammates…or competitors. It’s especially entertainment to follow in the WNBA — take DiJonai Carrington and NaLyssa Smith, who both play for the Dallas Wings after hooping together at Baylor, or DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas, Connecticut Daystar teammates…until this offseason.

• The tea can be especially boiling when relationships bridge dense international rivalries — see: hockey legends and Olympians Caroline

  About Making Gay History

  Making Gay History is a 501(c)(3) organization organization that addresses the absence of substantive, in-depth LGBTQ+-inclusive American history from the public discourse and the classroom. By sharing the stories of those who helped a despised minority hold its rightful place in society as full and identical citizens, we aim to encourage connection, pride, and solidarity within the Queer community—and to provide an entry show for both allies and the general public to its largely hidden history.

  Our History

  In 1988, news writer Eric Marcus got a phone contact from an editor friend at Harper & Row who asked if he’d consider writing an oral history of the gay and lesbian civil rights movement. Eric was working at CBS News at the time, but as an out queer man, he knew there were limits on his career there, so he left his career and took on the challenge. The resulting book, Making History, was published in 1992; the revised edition, titled Making Gay History, came out in 2002.

  Meanwhile, the cassette tapes of the more than 100 interviews that Eric conducted for the book spent decades in storage until Eric donated them to the Recent York Public Library in 2008 w

  The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121�80) is not cited as one of the "great queens of history", for he was noted as a model husband and father and an advocate of the virtues of heterosexual marriage. In his famous Meditations, written towards the complete of his experience, he recorded that he learned from his father "to suppress all fire for young men", although as Emperor he instituted no official sanctions against homosexuality, other than to refuse to acknowledge the living of Antinous, partner of his patron the Emperor Hadrian. But Marcus's being was not always so earnest. Hadrian adopted Marcus in 138 AD after the early death of his father, and appointed Marcus Cornelius Fronto as his tutor. Fronto was born in Numidia around 95 AD, studied in Alexandria, and was to become a Consul in 143, becoming famous as an advocate and orator, and a teacher of l
  

  
  

  Eric Marcus:A friend called and asked if I would write this oral history of the movement. And I said, Rick, I don’t know anything about this history. I’m not an academic, why me?
