I spent 20 years living in Chicago and miss it with every fiber of my being. I love the way you represent Chicago's history, and the city itself. I also love your outfits in each video. They ground you in the times you talk about and always look sharp. You and your crew do great work. Thank you.

I think it's so ironic that some people claim that these two women were not "sapphic". The constant letter writing and written expressions of love are exactly what Sappho did with her lovers. Allegedly. "

[@davidbowman2001]

A lot of people (especially right now) seem to think any historical figure being gay is made up propaganda. Which is amazing considering how we often have examples of them basically writing I’M REALLY GAY. I AM SUPER GAY.

[@Rynewulf]

@@davidbowman2001reminds me of that Egyptian tomb with writing that basically says "yeah I prefer my top man servant to my wife and had him replace her in my tomb and all our pictures, and I'll haunt you if you change it once we're dead idc if you think we're weird" And people still try to argue it was a straight guy

[@manwhoismissingtwotoenails4811]

I've seen people claim ancient Greece and Rome wasn't gay. And the women on the island that we get the word lesbian from weren't lesbians.💀

[@Irisarc1]

@manwhoismissingtwotoenails481What you have said here is true. All of ancient Rome and Greece were not gay. There were no more LGBTQ+ people then than there are now, BUT there were also no fewer. The thing I think you are talking about is that older men often had younger men or boys as lovers. This was not about being gay. It was something that was just done by men of a certain age and social standing. This practice is called "pederasty" and has nothing to do with being gay. It was no more "gay" than a modern man having a mistress. Also, this practice did not extend into the Roman world, where homosexuality was generally looked down upon or even condemned. Even the Greek practice had for the most part gone out of fashion before Rome became a thing. As far as the women of Lesbos all being lesbians, no one with any knowledge about that time and place would not have believed that. Nobody ever believed that the entire female population of Lesbos was all gay. It just that the word "lesbian" originally came from the name of the island that the famous poet Sappho was from. She wrote a lot of poetry about women who loved women, so that is where her reputation as being what we would call a lesbian came from. Because she was famous for this, the island she came from became associated with one famous gay woman, not that all the women from there were actually gay, though some definitely were. We LGBTQ+'ers are everywhere and always have been. Genetics will always win out.

[@jacquiz.6837]

As a haunted Chicago sapphic, I am so hyped for this video!

[@thesaltbucket324]

Still kinda sucks to know that even today, women and people of color are paid less just because of those arbitrary aspects. Breaks my heart but that can be one more thing we come together to fight against and address properly. Thank you Kaz!💗

[@jamieminnell7316]

I thought it was cause leaving poverty is difficult so black children who have parents or grandparents who were discriminated against or enslaved have harder odds to face then white kids and that women earn a cupple percent less over their lives on average cause there are more female mothers then male so over their lives they spend less total time earning

[@kfemme68]

​@@jamieminnell7316white women make .82¢ for every dollar a man makes. For black women it's .69¢ and hispanic women it's .64¢. The only women that get close are Asian women at .93¢ and that's still not equal pay. This information is from the Economic Policy Institute for 2022.

[@Rynewulf]

@@jamieminnell7316its both really. Not only do women and people of colour born in the west lack generational wealth and opportunities, but they are often overlooked for promotions, more likely to be fired or let go, and more likely to be offered lower wages or salary compared to white men working the same job roles in the same places. So theres both a lifetime average gap, and a day to day wage gap. Sucks

[@maxv08]

I am a social work student (recently finished my BSW, working on an MSW). I have been taught about Jane Addams being the first social worker and about Hull House, but I had no idea she was sapphic and that Hull House is considered haunted! Maybe the haunted house piece isn’t too important to social work, but I would love to see her being sapphic incorporated into SW education because it’s so important that the woman who is basically the founder of the school work profession is wlw! Thanks for such a cool video :)

[@garlicbreadsupreme]

Your segment on Mary and Jane's love made me tear up- I think I would have had a similar emotional reaction, in the room dedicated to their relationship. You're right; too often, queer relationships of the past aren't preserved, presented, or displayed for the public.

[@nancytoothaker3224]

Wait. She's a historian?

[@TinyGhosty]

@@nancytoothaker3224 I am pretty sure Kaz uses they/them pronouns. I am using historian as a general term for people who work in the history field by contributing research or sharing knowledge. I do historical research therefore I am a historian. It is silly to only use the title for the top positions in the field.

[@nancytoothaker3224]

​@@TinyGhosty Ah. I see. Lots of historians around then. People who work for years getting their "top" positions may disagree with you about how silly it is. My apologies for the pronoun, perhaps making their preference known would be helpful in avoiding mistakes in the comments in the future.

[@TinyGhosty]

@@nancytoothaker3224 Yes lots of historians around because history is an active and important field we need to not leave behind. That's like gatekeeping the title scientist for only people who work at NASA and other agencies and those publishing articles while forgetting about everyone who works in labs, contributes research, and keeps the field working. The top positions in history rely on everyone to keep the field alive and growing, weird for you to gatekeep it considering you have not revealed you are ACTUALLY in the history field. Your opinion means nothing to me and the potential gatekeeping of MY field is cringe.

[@nancytoothaker3224]

@@TinyGhosty 😆 **DingDingDing** I win! I bet that your response would include crying about gatekeeping! At least you're predictable. No one's keeping you from engaging in your interests, from enjoying the fruits of others labor and using it to further your knowledge or from claiming that you are a history buff. And the scientists at NASA have formal educations in their fields, I'm pretty sure you can't just call yourself a rocket engineer. You want to be an armchair historian? Good for you. Just don't pretend to have accumulated the credentials and education of actual historians, be honest with people and say so. I see that you require my occupation to be in the history field before I can express an opinion, how very strange. Sounds almost like gatekeeping 😆 It's also strange that you take the time, in a very long response, to make sure and say that my opinion means nothing to you. Really? Doesn't seem like you're being quite honest there, after taking the time to try and rebut me. Seems like my opinion struck a nerve actually. Oh, Happy Pride month.

I grew up in Cedarville and heard about Jane my whole life, over and over. She was the ONE THING that little village had. I went past the house she grew up in on the bus every morning for years and years. I never knew she was sapphic. This is completely left out of the history I was taught despite the reverance for her. So imagine my queer delight seeing this pop up! Keep doing what you're doing. It's so important. We both know it isn't a mistake that this doesn't get talked about, and I hope this comes up in the searches for all the kids who have to write the same papers I did back then from here on out.

There is a little story I would like to post here about HULL HOUSE a story my mother told me when I was little. My mother had a painting done when she was a girl called THE LITTLE IRISH GIRL. The painting hung in Hull House for years later my father met the artist Shirley Friend and he bought the painting from her as a anniversary present for my mother also a trip to Ireland for the whole family. It was a fun trip till we got to Waterford and my mother suffered a massive stroke. When she was able to fly home with my father she went straight in the hospital my father showed her the painting and with my mothers stroke she could only say yes or no but she saw the painting for the first time since she had the painting done and whispered "That's me".
