Hola, beautiful souls! ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŽญ

Dive into Week 2 of “Queer History 101” with Tiffany as we journey through the poetic alleys of Spain, celebrating the genius of Federico Garcia Lorca. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธโœ๏ธ

Born in 1889, Lorca wasn’t just a poet; he was a revolution in Spanish literature. ๐Ÿ“–โœจ As part of the iconic Generation of ’27, he breathed life into words, leaving an indelible mark on art and culture. But beneath the verses, Lorca’s true identityโ€”a proud gay manโ€”remained veiled, often overshadowed by societal norms and censorship. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿšซ

With close ties to the legendary Salvador Dali ๐ŸŽจ, their bond, rich in letters and whispered tales, paints a picture of love, friendship, and defiance against societal expectations. ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’Œ

Yet, Lorca’s brilliance was tragically dimmed in 1936, silenced for his identity and beliefs. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿฅ€ Today, we reclaim his legacy, celebrating him not just as a literary icon but as a shining beacon for the LGBTQ+ community. ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒŸ

Join us in honoring Lorca and countless others who dared to be true amidst adversity. ๐ŸŒˆโค๏ธ Let’s ensure their stories are told, their voices heard, and their legacies celebrated. Until next time, keep turning the pages of history! ๐Ÿ“šโœจ
