The LGBTQ community has seen controversy regarding acceptance of different groups (bisexual and transgender individuals have sometimes been marginalized by the larger community), but the term LGBT has been a positive symbol of inclusion and reflects the embrace of different identities and that we’re stronger together and need each other. While there are differences, we all face many of the same challenges from broader society.
In the 1960′s, in wider society the meaning of the word gay transitioned from ‘happy’ or ‘carefree’ to predominantly mean ‘homosexual’ as they adopted the word as was used by homosexual men, except that society also used it as an umbrella term that meant anyone who wasn’t cisgender or heterosexual. The wider queer community embraced the word ‘gay’ as a mark of pride.
The modern fight for queer rights is considered to have begun with The Stonewall Riots in 1969 and was called the Gay Liberation Movement and the Gay Rights Movement.
The acronym GLB surfaced around this time to also include Lesbian and Bisexual people who felt “gay” wasn’t inclusive of their identities.
Early in the gay rights movement, gay men were largely the ones running the show and there was a focus on men’s issues. Lesbians were unhappy that gay men dominated the leadership and ignored their needs and the feminist fight. As a result, lesbians tended to focus their attention on the Women’s Rights Movement which was happening at the same time. This dominance by gay men was seen as yet one more example of patriarchy and sexism.
In the 1970′s, sexism and homophobia existed in more virulent forms and those biases against lesbians also made it hard for them to find their voices within women’s liberation movements. Betty Friedan, the founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW), commented that lesbians were a “lavender menace” that threatened the political efficacy of the organization and of feminism and many women felt including lesbians was a detriment.
In the 80s and 90s, a huge portion of gay men were suffering from AIDS while the lesbian community was largely unaffected. Lesbians helped gay men with medical care and were a massive part of the activism surrounding the gay community and AIDS. This willingness to support gay men in their time of need sparked a closer, more supportive relationship between both groups, and the gay community became more receptive to feminist ideals and goals.
Approaching the 1990′s it was clear that GLB referred to sexual identity and wasn’t inclusive of gender identity and T should be added, especially since trans activist have long been at the forefront of the community’s fight for rights and acceptance, from Stonewall onward. Some argued that T should not be added, but many gay, lesbian and bisexual people pointed out that they also transgress established gender norms and therefore the GLB acronym should include gender identities and they pushed to include T in the acronym.
GLBT became LGBT as a way to honor the tremendous work the lesbian community did during the AIDS crisis.
Towards the end of the 1990s and into the 2000s, movements took place to add additional letters to the acronym to recognize Intersex, Asexual, Aromantic, Agender, and others. As the acronym grew to LGBTIQ, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIAA, many complained this was becoming unwieldy and started using a ‘+’ to show LGBT aren’t the only identities in the community and this became more common, whether as LGBT+ or LGBTQ+.
In the 2010′s, the process of reclaiming the word “queer” that began in the 1980′s was largely accomplished. In the 2020′s the LGBTQ+ acronym is used less often as Queer is becoming the more common term to represent the community.

★ idol au ★
02: oc(s), supporting characters, and the confessional
also before i get into it, this idol au takes place in both japan and england! i have more knowledge on japanese idol groups than i do anything else so that’s one of the main reasons why it primarily takes place in japan.
and i talk a lot about japanese fashion….. if you haven’t heard of some of the styles i would love to clarify in a different post!
🩶 airi (the oc) 🥒
airi is a half japanese artist who got disowned by her family for pursuing a career in art. she was living in america, barely able to pay rent, when one of her clients, victor pays a visit to her apartment and offers her a job as the social media manager for the crown.
her actual name is airina but a lot of the crown calls her airi (or in some cases: air purifier and aerosol therapy).
her fashion sense/aesthetics is japanese alternative fashion with goth/punk lolita accents mixed in. she’s obsessed with vivienne westwood and she wears the alice horns all the time. i feel like she doesn’t wear skirts all that often though…
❤️ kate (mc 1) 🌸
kate is apart of an idol group under the same management as the crown. she also lives in crown castle with airi and the others.
one of the concepts of the mc idol group is that the aesthetics of each member is based off of preexisting boy groups (a certain someone changes that rule though).
i feel like her aesthetics are very shoujo based and mori kei when she’s not working but when she is her outfits are very victorian based.
🌺 belle (mc 2) 🌹
yes this is belle from ikemen prince…
and she’s a gyaru!!!
i think her primary style is himekaji which is more princessy outfits but she totally experiments with different styles. (yves makes clothes for her all the time)!!!
anyways she lives with the ikemen prince idol group (crashes out after a while because i would die if i had to deal with feuding brothers and other interesting characters that ikepri has)
♥️ the confessional 🥀
a year after the crown’s debut, an anonymous account pops up called the robin confessional. no one knows who’s behind the account but some fans speculate it’s one of the crown members themselves.
the most popular guesses being liam or it being an employee at the entertainment group that’s in close cohorts with victor.
almost everyone from the crown follows the confessional on their private accounts (liam follows it on his public account and comments often).
the information posted on the account has been scarily accurate, sometimes posting things that the idols themselves had never heard about and it being confirmed later by victor himself.
along with gossip, the confessional posts recaps to the idols’ livestreams for any fan that missed out!
(next part: their private accounts!)
I'm the one behind the Robin confidencial account!
