The essay covers her times as a curious but clueless child, a budding lesbian activist longing to learn more about lesbian past, and becoming one of the founders of LGBT+ History Month in 2005. She pays attention to the political and societal changes that preceded its initiation, and gives a vivid description of the diverse activities celebrating the Month. Moreover, she draws our attention to its many outgrowths that benefit schools, memory and cultural institutions, and inspire new scholarship. ABSTRAKTI Esseessään brittiläinen lesboaktivisti Sue Sanders kertoo kasvutarinansa 1950-luvulta tähän päivään. Se kattaa hänen elämänsä uteliaasta mutta tietämättömästä lapsesta aloittelevaan lesboaktivistiin, joka haluaa oppia enemmän lesbohistoriasta, ja edelleen hänen päätymisestään yhdeksi sateenkaarihistoriakuukauden perustajista vuonna 2005. Sanders kuvaa sekä kuukauden perustamista edeltänyttä poliittista ja yhteiskunnallista tilannetta että niitä monia tapoja, joilla kuukautta on sittemmin vietetty. Lisäksi hän esittelee sen monia liitännäisaktiviteetteja, jotka hyödyttävät kouluja, muisti-ja kulttuuri-instituutioita ja inspiroivat tutkimusta.

Lamentablemente, al menos en el contexto hispanohablante, estas carecen de un marco teórico suficiente para conceptualizar y sistematizar su metodología didáctica. En este artículo se propone asumir –y clonar en español– las ideas de usualising y actualising, propuestas y aplicadas con éxito por Sue Sanders y SchoolsOUT en el Reino Unido para superar las limitaciones de la gay lesson ocasional. Por ello, se justifica filológicamente la posibilidad lingüística y real de adoptar un neologismo (“usualizar”) capaz de compensar los inconvenientes inherentes al concepto de normalización. Se apoya la propuesta de forma teórica con una perspectiva necesariamente interseccional y descolonizadora del sistema educativo actual. Enlazando teoría y praxis, la presentación se basa también en el recorrido vital, profesional y activista de la autora.
