Since joining Tumblr, I’ve met a lot of young queer people. Look, I’m a bisexual man in a gay relationship, and I’m approaching 30. I was still a kid when Matthew Shepard’s story was being covered on the news. I remember thinking, “I better keep my mouth shut about these feelings I’m having.”

And then I met Dominic when I was 12, and people could see how in love we were. And we got the shit beat out of us. The year I met him, some kids in the grade above me held me down against the bleachers in our gym and stomped on my hand until my fingers broke. Instead of sending me to the nurse, the teacher sent me to the assistant principal to explain the situation. She asked why the kids had beat me up. I said, “They were calling me gay.”

Her response was, “Well, are you?”

My, “I don’t know,” earned a call to my parents, and I was outed. Efforts were made to keep me from seeing Dom. Throughout high school, Dom’s stepmother intensified these efforts. He slept in the basement of the house. Although he was an incredibly talented student, he was prohibited from participating in any extracurriculars. He suffered a lot of physical abuse during those years.

The day he turned 18, he packed up everything he had and walked to my house, and we’ve lived together ever since. Things are better, but they’re not perfect. I’ve had trucks pull up next to me at stoplights and, seeing the pride sticker on my car, through old drinks and garbage into my window. I no longer speak to my dad’s side of the family. I haven’t been to see them for Christmas or Thanksgiving in years. One of my uncles had cornered me at Thanksgiving when I was 17 and said, “I’m not going to judge you, but I’d be happy to break your neck so God can do the judging a little sooner.”

I joined a support group for trans and intersex people. When I joined, 40 people attended regularly. Within the year, the group was half the size it had been. Some couldn’t make it anymore, because they were staying at the shelter, where their stay hinged on them agreeing to instead to attend homophobic sermons. Some were put in correctional therapy. Five of them died. Three of those, I didn’t know, but I knew Alex, the 19 year old who was fag-dragged in Kentucky and died a day later in the hospital, and I knew Stephanie, who went home to Alabama to care for her mom in hospice and was beaten to death with a baseball bat by her mom’s boyfriend.

Tumblr is not reality. The dynamic here does not reflect the dynamic out there. Here’s the part where I finally make a point, and it might be extremely unpopular - but guys, value your allies. Value each other. We are met with enough hate in our daily lives to enter an online safe-space and meet more hate from our own, over petty things. Don’t go after one another over every little thing you find problematic.

Learn to see nuance. Maybe the word “queer” bothers you, and you see a gay man using it as an umbrella term. Maybe someone called a trans man a trans woman because they’re confused about terminology, but the post where they did it was voicing support for the trans community. Maybe someone is just asking a question, wanting to learn more. Stop. Attacking. These. People.

Allies are being driven away. Members of our own community are being ostracized. Others are feeling nervous and estranged, and it’s largely because of places like Tumblr, where the social justice movement is quickly becoming violent and radical. I am begging you, stop nitpicking “problematic” things and start directing your efforts to create real change. When it comes to comes to your allies, forget the “social justice warrior” mentality and put down your torch. Educate calmly. Be respectful. Be understanding. Be forgiving. And I’m certainly not saying that your anger doesn’t have a good place - when you are met with bigots on the street, congress members who want to pass hateful laws, violent protesters, abusive parents, prejudiced teachers, that is when you need to be a warrior. That’s when it counts. In the real world. When you have the opportunity to protect people from real harm. Attacking your would-be allies via anonymous asks is just going to lose us ground in the long run. And we don’t have time for that, not when trans women of color are being murdered every day, not when states are still fighting against marriage equality, not when there are politicians in office who believe that trans people are possessed by demons, not when we’ve just lost 50 brothers and sisters to one gunman, not when the media won’t even admit that the attack was homophobic.

Please step back. Look at the big picture. Look at where we are, globally. Don’t just log on to your safe space and attack your allies over small missteps. That’s like washing the dishes in a house that’s on fire, kids. Let’s fight on the battlefield, and when we come home to each other, let’s just focus on bandaging up our wounds so we can go out and win the war.

'Supernatural' actors enjoy family business of being Comic-Con rock stars (USA Today article)

SAN DIEGO — Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki began Comic-Con week doing a keg stand with Conan O’Brien, and finished on Sunday by getting their faces melted by the band Kansas.

But for thousands of screaming fans who showed up to the pop-culture extravaganza, those two were the real rock stars.

The long-running CW drama enters its 13th season Oct. 12 (8 ET/PT) with Padalecki and Ackles once again keeping the world safe from monsters as demon-hunting brothers Sam and Dean Winchester. While the show has found cult success with an extremely loyal fan base, Comic-Con is the one time a year when Supernatural gets the same level of reception in the convention’s biggest stage as Marvel superhero movies, The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

“Do you know if Daenerys wants to make a cameo? Because we might be able to make it work,” jokes executive producer Andrew Dabb.

“You know what, Season 13? Have them call us,” Padalecki adds. “I promise to pick up the phone.”

At this year’s Comic-Con, he and Ackles might as well have been sharing the Iron Throne. They made their first talk-show appearance together on Conan, with Padalecki being hoisted more or less upside down on his birthday to drink from a keg of golden pale ale — courtesy of his co-star’s Family Business craft brewery in Austin. Later, Ackles handed full red Solo cups to anyone in sight as O’Brien joined them for a post-show chat.

And on Sunday, before they took the stage to open Supernatural’s Comic-Con panel with a live rendition of Carry On Wayward Son — the show’s unofficial theme song — Kansas drummer Phil Ehart presented a pair of sticks to Padalecki for his 5-year-old son, Tom. (“I would gladly pretend to give them to him,” the actor joked.) And the group — followed by Doug the Pug, a canine with nearly 10 million followers across social media — all wanted their pictures with the stars.

The celebrity hasn’t gone to their heads. “It’s really neat to be a part of something bigger, and to remember we’re a show in a long line of science fiction and horror and thrillers,” says Padalecki.

Adds Ackles: “We come here to humble ourselves.”

Executive producer Robert Singer says part of the show’s success has come from fostering “a culture where we don’t want to repeat ourselves.” Instead of a crossover with the queen of dragons, the Winchesters will get animated alongside Scooby-Doo for the 16th episode of the new season airing next year.

It’s one more milestone for a show that’s aired 264 hours of creature-killing, apocalypse-foiling action. Misha Collins, who’s played the angel Castiel since Season 4, recalls being at the 100th-episode party and someone telling him they’d see him at the shindig for No. 200. “I was like, ‘That’s actually stupid. That’s not funny. Obviously that’s not going to happen.’ And the fact that it has come and gone and we’re talking about the 300th-episode party is kind of mind-boggling.”

Padalecki doubts Supernatural will go another 13 seasons, though he thinks “600’s a good round number (of episodes). Or that would be funny to end at 666.”

Ackles chimes in: “It’s gone beyond dreams come true. Now it’s just 'pinch me.’ ”
