I love the illustrations in this! So bright and colourful and kind of hecking adorable, too!
Damn yall don't get views anymore lmao
Love this. Really hoping to see this seriers include aromantic and asexual identities as it goes on - I'm so glad to see those identities included in the lists here already!!
Hans Christian Andersen is said to be a panromantic ace. He apparently wrote the little mermaid to describe how he felt for a man but couldn't be together just like how the mermaid couldn't be with her prince. Yeah it wasn't a happy ending in the original story. Don't let Disney fool you.
Yeeess please more aces from history.
Alexander Hamilton needs to be on this list
James Buchanan
Lmao yeah!
Both of them will on next episode
You think he was killed in a lover's quarrel? I find his death suspicious as well, His killer was known to have a strong moral compass, I think he found out a terrible secret that Hamilton kept and felt he had no choice but to kill him... A lovers quarrel is probably not enough of a reason for someone with strong morals to kill a friend.
You watch the Broadway musical a thousand times and suddenly everyone knows Alexander Hamilton’s non-existent secrets and try and turn him gay.
I love this new Buzzfeed series already :3
Cringe
Why bother
This is already my new favourite series
October 30th, 2021
1:23 “Oh to be a fly on that wall.” LMAO I love the narrator
What happened to buzzfeed?
nothing, they’re being inclusive, move along your way
Nothing. Why?
Loved this!!!!!! I CRAVE MORE! 🤣 On a serious note, this was beautiful and helped learn more about Mr. Baldwin than what I was ever taught in school growing up.
I’m not straight:
I’m not gay:
I’m a bi dinosaur
Im an attack helicopter
Loving this series omg, and THE most perfect narrator!!
Love the narrative, the narrator and the animation! Keep up the good work and looking forward to more episodes!
Videos like this are proof there aren’t enough actual problems for people to tackle..
You point out that he doesn't like labels 2:50 but then call him queer 0:27? You even note that queer is a label on your animation.
Don't get me wrong, this is a nice project, it's nice to learn about non-straight/cis/white history but I think its important to respect peoples choice of/choice not to have a label. You can just say he's not straight rather than label him queer. Many people, especially of the older generations, do not like to use that term and I think it's a bit presumptuous to assume that he would identify as queer if he were alive today.
Wouldn't "not-straight" be a label too?
@@Caboose575 Well 'not straight' wouldn't be a label, it would be 'non-straight' if you were to use the semantics correctly. Like 'non-binary'. The semantics matter. For example above I'm saying that he's not straight (rejecting the label straight), I'm not saying he's a 'not-straight' (use of label). Rejecting one box doesn't automatically put you in another, language is abstract.
@@Barnesi94 But it does. Changing the word from non to not doesn't change the fact you're labeling. "Labels" are just adjectives. No matter what you do, you will always be described in some matter. And people who wish not to be labeled become labeled as people that don't like labels. Pretty ironic, actually.
@@Caboose575 You're talking about Russell's paradox (the label labels all that do not label themselves). It's an interesting theory. I'd argue that you're oversimplifying classification theory by calling labels 'just adjectives' though (although I understand your reasoning behind it, given that the entire human obsession with classifying everything is based on our innate need to simply things in order to understand them I guess thats fitting).
Regardless, in the context of this video I still believe that stating that someone does not identify as straight is not the same as calling them queer when it comes to applying labels.
Yall hate labels so much yet put labels on everything. Ironic.
Creator of this video: I’m gonna make a video on a noteworthy man just because he liked pp in a time where it’s not okay for a man to like pp.
Thanks BuzzFeed for sharing this information and starting this mini because LGBT history and icons aren't really thought in many schools I just brought some of James Baldwin books
So why didn't you just use every letter in the LGBT acronym? If you aren't why did you add more instead of just having LGBT+?
Can't wait for the Abraham Lincoln episode
He was heterosexual.
@@ashleydowney1222 There is a lot of evidence from his personal history that suggests otherwise... While I cannot honestly say.. "Lincoln was gay" There is enough that you cannot honestly say "Lincoln was straight"...
@@emptycradle1304 Lincoln was gay.
@@HisLady1022 not
The people in the comments not getting the point of this are a great example of why these videos are a really good idea!
James Baldwin was a genius and he never tried to hide he was gay. He would say he was black first because of the struggles at the time.
I really don't care though... do people randomly want to know that I'm straight that as a lady I like gentlemen lol
this reminds me of school
so true of him
Muito lindo seu trabalho! joia.
Who cares? Arent they great for what they've done not their sexual preference? WTF?
Loved this!!
I'm a queer black woman who discovered James Baldwin in college. During my freshman year, I was far from home, a bit lonely, and spent a lot of time in the university library. I discovered James Baldwin completely by chance an d felt mostly elated--but also angry. Why wasn't he ever mentioned in school? HOW could they leave him out of the curriculum? I read it alllll. And it changed me.
specifically speaking for the american school system, it’s probably because everything taught in public schools is extremely whitewashed and boomers will FREAK if a James Baldwin writing was the topic in class because, well number 1 hes a black man and number 2 hes gay
So good!
Why people still care that much about others sexual orientation
Seriously. Why does anyone care about who these people slept with? Just celebrate them because they did something noteworthy. Keep everyone's bedrooms' private FFS.
Same reason it is important to note that Jesus could not have been white...
@@emptycradle1304 that's not even remotely the same thing😂
Lol who cares? Celebrate accomplishments, not identity.
Lucien Happersberger definitely had a type. Black women and men! Great taste!
I crazy how black people from the US came to Europe RT has a great Documentary on black Russians mind blowing facts and history and also Anna Mae Wong also went Europe crazy right
This is a real question…. Truly not trying to come at anyone but why is who ppl love everyone’s business or why does anyone care?
Yey something new!
❤️💛💚💙💜
I knew that James Baldwin wasn't straight. Read about it a couple of years ago.
I feel bad cause I had to google who James Baldwin is
Proof?
Cringefeed.
Wow congrats, Idgaf 😂 gay or not they're noteworthy for a reason.
Bring the worlds ok mom pls
Hi
If you read anything from him he never kept it a secret.
It doesn’t really matter this is letting your sexuality define you I don’t support he was a person not a not straight male
Time to unsub
Alright great but I don't think anyone that isn't gay atleast cares lol
Okayyy buzzfeed this is where I unfollow lmao
Why?
Byeeeeeeeeeeee
Don't let the door hit where the good lord split ya!!!👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿
Agreed. Idgaf if they're gay or not, they did something great. THAT'S what should matter. NOT whether or not they like cucumbers or muffins 🤦♂️
@@Bongobongobongobongo See you later.
Guess what I'm a viewer who doesn't *actually* care!! Never have I ever cared about their sexual orientation 😂🤣
Typical in your face approach. This is why this channel is failing so hard.
This is so weird lmao
First
🤢🤮
Oh great! Just what I was looking for, more gay stuff. You go gay stuff! You can do it! Inflict yourself on us some more. I know I for one hate to go even one hour without some kind of gay stuff.
There’s a lot out there not about queer people and you’re very welcome to go look for them.
This series honestly seems like a great way for people to be recognized for their great works even through hard battles in society. People talk about history like that for people who are straight.
If you have an issue with “gay stuff” then just don’t click on it. It doesn’t hurt anyone to tell those who are queer that they are accepted.
@@dothmotherknowyouwearth I dont think it matters what sexual preference they had I honestly dont. When I think of someone I dont think of what they wore,acted like,or the way they had a sexual view on the world;I think of the great things they done or accomplished.
@@dothmotherknowyouwearth if you ever just,got off of twitter,tik tok,facebook. Maybe for one moment you could think,huh it's funny how they hate catorgizing but they categorize eachother all the time. I go to a private school,do you think having "black artists groups" and "LGBQT groups," funded by the actual school helps conquer diversity.
@@nuclear_muffin5600
I never said we should only focus on sexuality. I mentioned that it was a good way for people in the queer community to connect with someone who has great accomplishments. The video focuses a lot on the person’s achievements and celebrates mainly that. The sexuality of the person is a part of them and shouldn’t be overlooked. How much it should be focused on differs from person to person but we don’t see the video and only see the person as “oh, this person was queer.” We see the video and it’s “he accomplished many feats and we was also queer.” It’s about him as a person, but just his sexuality.
And it definitely is something to be mindful of. I agree we look at people’s actions, not just sexuality, but queer people have been seen as inferior and having someone to look up to is not a bad thing, in my opinion.
Now, for the label thing. I’m a bit confused why this is related to a comment that is about “I see too much stuff on gay people” and my response is “hey, I think it’s fine, avoid it if you don’t like it.”
If this is an issue about the LGBT+ community, then there will be people who like labels and other don’t. Certain people will label people when they don’t want to be labeled and that’s them, does it mean the community is all full of these people? Does it mean we should speak about queer people less? No. Every community has people who are different and hypocritical in your opinion.
If this is connected to the video having people labeled and certain people don’t like it, then it honestly could just be differing opinions that the community can honestly work on. But, once again, it doesn’t talking about make queer people less valid.
For the school club thing. Students are diverse because they are people and having a place where people can meet others like them and thrive can be great (my opinion, once again). Especially in a time where some groups of people are in a worse place than others. It might not be the end-all solution to true diversity, but it can help those who need it. It can help people of that group see they’re not alone and that they’re not inferior or such.
There’s a lot of people out in the world and having a group could bring to spotlight people who are talented but are overlooked because of the fact they are a minority.
Just let me say that I find it difficult to deal with gay stuff two days in a row so I shall probably be responding tomorrow. Before I do go however I would like to point out something to the guy who wears his mother clothes or something that condescension is the first sign of being gay. At least that’s what my weird cousin who wears eye makeup says.
