Hey y’all! I made this tiktok and it’s getting a fair amount of negative attention which is bringing it further and further into StraightTok so if you have tiktok, I’d appreciate if you could go and interact with it to bring me back to the queer side ☺️

I'm researching the "Glass Closet" as a concept and looking for content related to it so I watched a tiktok where someone claimed that it was invented by Riley Snorton and is only applicable to the black community as it refers to their hyper visibility, but Snorton didn't publish his book Nobody's Supposed To Know which discusses the Glass Closet as it applies to the black community until 2014 and the term appears at least as early as Eve Sedgewick's Epistemology of the Closet, published in 1990, which Snorton references.

This person was responding to another tiktoker who used the correct definition of the glass closet, shaming them for not doing their research and not knowing that the term only applies to the black community and should never be used for white people. Shaming them for not knowing something objectively false which can be debunked with five minutes of googling. Several people had commented thanking this person for educating them.

Queer people, what are we doing? What is happening on queer tiktok? Every time I go there I come across something like this.

I've started creating deep dives into queer history on YouTube.

Infinite Glitterfall

Boosting the incredible joys, creations, and magnificence of all types of queer/trans/intersex people, and helping us all recover from the t

But they take sooo long to make. And ADHD means I often get derailed into wild side stories.

Which are perfect for TikTok!

Like Maria Pool, who was putting lesbian puns in her book titles all the way back in the 1880s.

Lesbian history is wild. #BiHistoryMonth is even wilder. Please send help. (Also, these two FULLY lived near Boston, and were ICONIC example

Or the two dudes who got married IN 1840s BOSTON, and ended up running a beloved gay B&B.

Also: the locals all loved them! They were famous for decades afterward as just really nice, committed, gentle guys. #queerhistory #gaytikt

Or the aro teen who sought guidance from the lesbian community 50 years ago.

She didn't get a public response. Maybe they wrote to her privately. I wish I knew who and where she was! #aro#lesbian#alloaro#lgbtqhistory#

I think I need to do one about William Cather next. Yes: the American novelist that most of us never knew was trans and intersex.

Any requests?
