Description: The medieval Arabo-Islamic Poet Abu Nuwwas used the imagery of land and sea to denote attraction to various genders, and thus for us at History is Gay land gay, ocean lesbian, and coastal bisexual were born.

Description: Gay Bob was a doll that was created in 1977 and billed as the world's first openly gay doll. Bob was created by former advertising executive Harvey Rosenberg and marketed through his company, Gizmo Development. Bob stood 13 inches tall and came wearing a flannel shirt, tight jeans and cowboy boots with one ear pierced. He was sold in a box designed to look like a closet, and that proudly explained what “coming out of the closet” meant: "Hi boys, girls and grownups, I’m Gay Bob, the world’s first gay doll. I bet you are wondering why I come packed in a closet. ‘Coming out of the closet’ is an expression which means that you admit the truth about yourself and are no longer ashamed of what you are..." Needless to say, Gay Bob is a gay icon.

Description: I was listening to the great Invisibilia podcast from NPR on “the Secret Lives of Clothes” and they were discussing the power of clothes and a simple experiment where subjects say the color of a word they’re shown, but the word is the name of a different color. This proved pretty tricky for some folks, and I thought of this as a sort of simple mindfuck. Classic Helvetica font with the colors mismatched/reversed. Enjoy!
