There are notable historical figures commonly taught in social studies curriculums across the country, often without much controversy. Because they are seen as "elemental" to many World and U.S. histories, they mostly remain in standardized curriculum while recent censorship of content concerning race, gender, and sexuality has alternately removed other historical figures from classrooms. These figures' hefty name-dropping status and well-known impact on history links them together. But all of the names above have another thing in common: All are thought to have identities on the LGBTQ2IA+ spectrum (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Two-Spirit, Intersex, Asexual and other identities outside cisgender and heteronormative identities). However there are equally transformational history makers with identities on the LGBTQ2IA+ spectrum, and they are contemporaries of or connected to the figures above in various ways. Yet they are not nearly as ensconced in mainstream (white, Western, male, cisgender) historical canons, nor as represented in K-5 public school curriculums. This article examines an art-forward lesson which explores well known historical figures who often have their sexuality left out of the narrative, and lesser-known LGBTQ2IA+ historical figures who deserve to be mentioned alongside them.
