Domestic Violence Awareness Month takes place every October and is a great time to get involved and make a change if you're passionate about ending violence in the home. Some of the ways you can participate include wearing purple, organizing an event, attending an event, spreading the word, and sharing your story if you've experienced domestic violence firsthand or lost a loved one to it.⠀

Some Important Figures in Hispanic History! ⠀

The first English-language use of the word "bisexual" referring to sexual orientation was by the American neurologist Charles Gilbert Chaddock in 1892. Under any label, openly bisexual people were rare in early American life. One notable exception was the openly bisexual poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, who received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver in 1923. The 19th century poet Walt Whitman is usually described by biographers as either bisexual or homosexual in his feelings and attractions. In the early 20th century, during the Harlem Renaissance, blues singers Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith made no secret about their relationships with both men and women and songs like "Sissy Man Blues", "Freakish Blues" and Rainey's "Prove It on Me" spoke openly of homosexual and bisexual relationships.⠀

If you're still wondering why it's so important to have a whole month dedicated to domestic violence awareness, it's important to be aware of the true scope of the problem.⠀

We want to highlight the lives and hardships faced by latinx communities and those of hispanic heritage. ⠀

You won't believe the contributions queer women have had in history that you have no idea about! ⠀

The purpose of Domestic Violence Awareness Month is to mourn victims, celebrate survivors, and network for change . This national event takes place each year during the month of October to connect advocates working to end violence against women and kids.⠀

September 15 to October 15 is celebrated nationwide as National Hispanic Heritage Month. It traditionally honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans as we celebrate heritage rooted in all Latin American countries. ⠀
