The Google Doodle for Monday, May 22nd honored Barbara May Cameron, a Native American lesbian activist. Cameron, who died on February 12, 2002, at age 48 was a well-known, poet, writer, and human rights activist in the fields of lesbian/gay rights, women’s rights, and Native American rights. The Doodle was created by queer Mexican and Chitimachan artist Sienna Gonzales. Cameron co-founded Gay American Indians (GAI) alongside her friend Randy Burns. Cameron viewed GAI as both a support group for Native lesbians and gay men and a means to carve out space for them within the wider (and whiter) LGBTQ+ community.
