Yes, the history of BIPOC and LGBTQA+/SGL communities is, indeed, US history.
But the organization of the topics below reflects the reality of how history is often still taught in the US, especially in high school and lower grades: history related to communities of color is segregated into sidebars or separate chapters of history books. Similar to "sports" and "women's sports," it's clear which one is the "real" category: the one that doesn't need the modifier "women" or, in the case of history, the modifier that names a race or ethnicity.
Meanwhile, LGBTQA+/SGL history is often completely ignored.
Somewhat contradictorily, in an age where non-white history gets so little attention and LGBTQA+/SGL history gets even less, it's important for BIPOC and LGBTQA+/SGL community history to be easily findable -- for both BIPOC, LGBTQA+/SGL, white, straight, and cis learners of all ages.
