Hello I'm Rogan and welcome! This is part two of Queer History quick facts.
I will only be going up to the 1900s, because at that point, the amount of facts increases a LOT.
I will also be making some big time jumps, because I want to focus on the "good" historical happenings,
and there's quite a lot of "bad" happenings in that time period.
As before, the time period will be in the corner.
