If I told you that a story about two chickens on poppers led to a ban on the word "gay" in the NYTimes in the 1970s, you mightn't believe me. You'd be wrong, per this story: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/19/us/gay-pride-lgbtq-new-york-times.html … (h/t @migold)
ATTENTION: Stop what you're doing and read this direct, simple (and, of c, given the time, a little sad) story about a gay cruise that led the NYT to kill its gay coverage for almost a decade. It's an extraordinary time capsule. https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1975/04/06/83173133.html?pageNumber=346 … (go to full text or PDF)pic.twitter.com/ApZc942lgX
"The ship had at least the usual complement of gay crew members." I AM SCREAMING. Happy Pride, 1975!
GUYS. The poppers section is SO MUCH MORE THAN I HAD IMAGINED. Poppers are defined by the NYT in 1975 as "a drug inhaled to rescue waning ardor." CLASSY! Danielle, tho. SMH.pic.twitter.com/1BTvy6NAOG
"Rumors had it that flash orgies might spring up in the outer deck's shadowy recesses but, judging by what anyone could report firsthand and a couple of the reporter's own forays, they were just rumors." Call me Iphigene, because I am SCANDALIZED!
This ending, though. "I'm really proud to be a part of this cruise," a TV soap opera actor said on the gay cruise. He went unnamed in the 1975 NYT article.pic.twitter.com/77ZPrO6hHf
A selfie gif, at the fountain, for Pride Month? Groundbreaking.

A worthy follow to The September Issue, Bill Cunningham New York, and The First Monday in May. (And some good queer content to start Pride Month.)pic.twitter.com/xac5yZtr6j
We just never removed our rainbow from the @GIGANTICsequins fb photo... fun trick...
