LGBTQIetcetera fixed you're welcome Back to topic To post video, find your youtube. Right click on selected video. Left click "Copy video URL" Paste to post (edit: to get vid to show which did not at first show, went back after hit submit to edit, then hit return right after link to vid and then vid showed. No idea how or why that worked) Optional: if you'd like, tell us something you find interesting about the music itself or maybe how you relate to it, what it reminds you of. Did it help you come to terms with being gay? With being str8? With being? When my homophobic brother unsurprisingly late in the game realized the gay liberation movement had a flag, a rainbow flag, he said to me with such indignation but at least a touch of sarcasm: "You stole the rainbow?", realizing his stupidity as he said it. But he said it and I'll never forget it. Well, we didn't just steal the rainbow, we absconded with the entire song. Here's Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version. Proud to share it with him, pleased he shared himself with the world. https://www.genremag.com/2018/06/month-of-historic-gay-anthems-over-the-rainbow-1939-the-song-that-inspired-the-pride-flag/ "Lyricist Yip Harburg was a renown activist for racial and gender equality and called “the social conscience of Broadway.” A little over a decade after he won the Oscar for Rainbow, Harburg was blacklisted for his political views during the McCarthy Era.... ...According to Aaron Harburg, the songwriter’s openly gay great-great grandson, “Yip was very progressive and probably would have been vocal in support of gay rights, or at least preventing discrimination against gays. Equality was very important to him across the board.” ...in 2017, Garland’s recording of the song was selected for preservation by the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or artistically significant.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Kamakawiwoʻole "Kamakawiwoʻole was known for promoting Hawaiian rights"...
