LGBTQ* People You Should Know
GLADYS BENTLEY (picture NY, circa 1930s)
Bentley flirted with double entendres in her music and dabbled in double dress in her day to day life. Her blues music and sultry lyrics dared anyone to question their true meaning while she flirted with female patrons as she sang. She frequented speakeasies like The Clam House in Harlem and caused a bit of a stir when she married her white New Jersey girlfriend in a civil wedding ceremony.
Much of Bentley’s life would later be subject to the fear/hate of a McCarthy run system in the late 1940s’/1950s.

Marilyn Monroe at the Academy Awards, March 29th 1951
I’m sitting in the train station waiting to go to Jersey. I’m hungry but there’s no food. However, there is free WiFi, so excuse my Tumblr junkiness. In all fairness, I have been absent for some time now.
