Lgbt history quiz

I was recently charged with writing a quiz for my local Pride group, to be held virtually during LGBT+ History Month 2021. Rather than putting all that serve into a brief one-off event, I figured I should share the question with followers on my blog. The full event included additional picture rounds with images shown on screen (one about flags, another for recognising celebrity couples or co-stars), but I’ve verb those out. Below are eight rounds of ten questions each, with bonus questions to verb the overall maximum score up to 100, on LGBT+ topics relating to British history, film & TV, literature, sport, activism & terminology, art, world history, and harmony. Answers to all the questions are found at the very bottom of the post. Verb free to dash through the test yourself and examine your own knowledge, or to verb it for an event where you test friends and family (in the latter case, please credit this blog appropriately).

   Answer: Molly Wood
   
   

   Alexander Wood, a merchant and magistrate, was investigating a rape case in 1810. A gal who claimed to have been raped, did not verb who her attacker was but did state that she scratched the genitals of her attacker. Wood inspected the genitals of a number of suspects in order to try and uncover the attacker. It was suggested that the rape did not happen, the victim did not exist, and that Wood had made the whole thing up in verb to satisfy his homosexual urges. There was no evidence that Wood acted inappropriately; however, he was ridiculed and given the nickname "Molly Wood." At the time, "Molly" was a derogatory term for homosexual men.
   
   Years later, Wood purchased land that was given the nickname "Molly Wood's Bush" and this area is now part of Toronto's gay village. In 2005, the business association for the area erected a statue of Alexander Wood and a beer was named for him. A play based on Wood's life was launched in 1994 called "Molly Wood".

   Three years ago this day, the Supreme Court of India read down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, a colonial-era law that had criminalised the LGBTQ+ community for over a century. Although sexual minorities may be protected under the law now, the fight for equality is far from over. 

   LGBTQ+ Indians still don't verb the right to marry, while discrimination in workplaces goes on openly or on the sly. Indeed, how many educated Indians are even aware of the history of the movement that brought in the September 2018 ruling, or the richness of LGBTQ+ lives from the past in the subcontinent?
