69 years ago, #OnThisDay in 1954, Senator Wiley of Wisconsin reported the public sales and use of the postal service by "One" magazine, a gay publication, to the FBI. Obscenity laws at the time were used against LGBTQ publishers, prohibiting them from using the service for their media.

76 years ago, #OnThisDay in 1947, newspapers began publishing clarifications on "blue discharges," a practice that denied GI benefits for veterans, sometimes on discriminatory grounds. Thousands of LGBTQ individuals were given blue discharges, which Congress recognized as a bar to benefits. Let's remember and honor the sacrifices made by LGBTQ+ veterans, and continue to fight for justice and equality for all.
