HISTORY™ explains 'the event that makes June "Gay Pride Month"' (the #StonewallRiots) in a report you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
| and History Hustle gives us the important takeaways |
In 'the long form' of the initialism LGBTQ+ (LGBTQQIP2WAA), the "I" stands for "Intersex"---the P.C. form of the term #Hermaphrodite. The word “Hermaphrodite” is built on the name of the son of #Hermes & #Aphrodite (in Ovid ... though the 'Dual-Sexed' Aspect didn't come into play until the nymph #Salmacis united herself with Ἑρμαφρόδιτος (hermapʰróditos)).
#Hermaphroditic #Hermaphrodism
The name "Hermes (Ἑρμῆς)" is built on ancient words ... of some sort---although there is the word #Herm (a Square Pillar of Stone topped by a Sculpture of a Human Head); but the Statue/Milestone/Boundary-Marker was usually topped by the head of 'the Mercury-parallel son of Zeus & Maia who is their God of Commerce, Markets, Roads & Secret Dealings, who Protects Herdsmen, Travelers & Rogues, serves as Olympian Messenger & -as Conductor of the Dead (to 'Hades,' if that's the name of the place).
#Hermetic |Hermione
The name "Aphrodite (Ἀφροδίτη)" is built on ancient words that mean "Foam (from her 'Origin-Story')," but many think the Venus-parallel's name is based on the name Ashtaroth/Ishtar.
#Aphrodisiac
The name "Salmacis (Σαλμακίς)" might be built on ancient words that mean "of the Same Body" (her name also inspired-and/or-'was inspired by' the name of a Fountain (in Bodrum, Turkey) whose Waters were said to make Men more Effeminate & Soft).
