On This - the Last Day of Gay Pride Month ...
For the past 30 days we have been bombarded with advertisements from companies large and small - ads covered in ‘gay’ buzzwords, studded with rainbows, and all sorts of images and rhetoric showing the gay community how supportive an ally they are.
Tomorrow, on July 1st - take a look again and see how many of these companies drop their ‘gay hook’ and turn back into non-supportive asswipes that will again next June proclaim how supportive they are of gays. All they wanted was your ‘gay dollars’ and nothing else. Don’t be fooled into supporting them. Do not support any companies that are ‘gay friendly’ for 30 days out of 365. They are not your friends. Support gay businesses! 🌈🧡💛💚💙💜

🚨🚨I MUST ASK ONCE AGAIN FOR THE FUTURE OF A FREE AND EQUAL INTERNET I AM BEGGING YOU TO SIGN THESE PETITIONS, DONATE, SHARE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE VERY LAST CHANCE!!!🚨🚨
I do not care how busy you are right now, I implore you to take 15 minutes and sign all of these petitions and spread awareness. Share these links absolutely everywhere, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Ao3. everywhere!!
Because if these bills pass:..
Say goodbye to fandoms...
Say goodbye to fanfiction/fanart...
Say goodbye to LGBTQIA+ safe spaces...
Say goodbye to private messaging...
Say goodbye to proper sexual health education (including info about safe and healthy abortions)...
I am not exaggerating...
DM me for more questions.

i came out to my extended family (or, rather i had my mom come out to them for me) at the end of 2020.
my mom said my grandma just said "okay." and same with one of my uncles. my other uncle called me and told me it's fine. but my grandpa sent me an email. it's the black text with the white background in the post.
i was working through this acceptance and commitment therapy workbook at the time, and one of the exercises was rewriting narratives you tell yourself. i had the idea of rewriting his whole email, re-using every single letter, into something positive. the white text on the black background was the result.
i was really proud of myself for being able to take such a negative email and turn it into something positive.
but the thing is, this should have never happened. i should have been raised in a queer-friendly (hell, even queer-supportive) environment. my mom should have berated my grandpa for this email. she shouldn't have equated his pain of finding out i'm queer to my pain of not being accepted by my family.
i haven't been validated by my family since childhood. i was scolded for doing child-like things. i was expected to be a good, obedient, catholic girl. i am none of those things now and never want to be.
i'm 27 and it's taken 27 long years to get to where i am now. that's unacceptable.
homophobia hurts people. it leaves them traumatized. i'm so glad it's less prevalent for the younger generations. but it still exists. we must eradicate it. we cannot keep letting children be traumatized. so, speak up when you see something. defend queer rights. help us all create a more accepting and supportive future. sometimes we're just so tried to do it ourselves.
thank you for reading x

Hopper accidentally becomes the biggest ally in Hawkins out of hatred for Mike Wheeler. El wants to date Max? Perfect, Mike is terrified of Max. El wants to date Max and Lucas? Even better, more people to keep Mike away. Will comes out to Joyce and Hop? Hopper is immediately studying up on gay culture and flagging so he can find him a Hop ApprovedTM boyfriend. He sees that nice boy Gareth cuff his jeans one time and starts inviting him to family dinner. Mike seems annoyed that Steve is spending more time with Munson? A pamphlet titled “Accepting your Bisexuality” finds its way into Steve’s jacket pocket. Hopper has never seen Mike as furious as the day Steve and Munson arrive at dinner holding hands. It’s a good day. Hopper isn’t sure how Nancy dating the Buckley girl will annoy Mike, but he’s willing to give it a shot.

Pinned "About Us":
Hello, Tumblr! Let's Say Gay is a non-profit, online literary journal run by LGBTQ+ people for LGBTQ+ youth! Our hope in creating this publication is to carve out space for LGTBQ+ youth and combat the isolation being imposed on queer artists. Let’s Say Gay is a safe place to tell and read stories, share art, and honor our identities.​​ We are facing a dark, but hardly unprecedented time. With each new wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation passed since the inception of Florida House Bill 1557, non-heteronormative children and their families are further decentered, and face more frightening and isolating lives. This publication is being designed for the entire generation of young people being systematically silenced by discriminatory laws. We know the uncertainty you face and the fear that now taints a time of self-discovery and growth, but you aren’t alone. We are launching this journal as a reminder that our community is alive and thriving and that no matter how many of our stories are stripped from shelves, or how many young people are forbidden to speak about themselves, we will continue to be.  This journal's staff seek to give youths a voice in this time of forced silence. Our identities— how we see and define ourselves and who we choose to love— are ours alone. No one has the right to silence, degrade, or invalidate the existence of another person. Our stories, and thus our presence in the country’s narrative, are under attack. If schools are going to be forced into narrow-minded discriminatory regulations, then we will resist. We will continue to create spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. Let’s Say Gay is a place where young artists can tell their stories. A place where we all can, and will, say gay. Or maybe even shout it! This journal is structured for LGBTQ+ youths aged 13–18 years-old. All applicants hold the right to remain anonymous, and don't have to sign their work or pay to apply. (Though feel free to use a pseudonym!) To do so, email [email protected] following our submission guidelines. These can be found on a separate pinned post and our website, lsglitjournal.com.

"I’m Lola, a Black transfemme living in Nigeria, where my existence is illegal with two decades of jail time. I got kicked out by my parents after I was forcefully outed and am currently in a homeless shelter.
I’ve been harassed multiple times, and recently, I was followed and harassed by four men near the shelter who threatened to kill me and split my head open. My life is in danger, and I’m facing homelessness as the shelter will be shut down by this month’s end. Being homeless as trans woman or transfemme in Nigeria is a death sentence
I’m also dealing with suicidal thoughts from gender dysphoria and a lack of access to HRT.
I’m seeking help so I can afford safe housing and gender affirming care so I can transition safely and save my life. This GoFundMe is the second one created because of problems with the first."
Lola is currently living on the streets because their homeless shelter kicked them out when they reported transphobic harassent and violence. they've been attacked, and they need food and money for a place to stay.
if you prefer not to donate to the GFM, you can send money to Lola through P*yP*l here: paypal.me/angelsaxis

i am once AGAIN thinking about the scene in black sails where flint has just been forced by miranda to confront his overwhelming grief over losing thomas, which has been fueling his unholy rage for the past two seasons. flint is sitting there, having a flashback, drowning in the tragedy and injustice of his gay lover’s death… then vane bursts into the room like a roided-up kool-aid man and immediately tries to kill him. 10/10, flawless tonal whiplash, one of the funniest moments in the entire show.

one of my favorite things charlie's done ever is just Decide that qmariana uses he/she pronouns. making all his own characters gay and trans isn't enough he needs to make everyone else queer too

Periodic reminder that unless a person specifically and clearly tells you it is okay to tell others they are trans or queer, you should err on the side of caution and assume they do not want you to tell people (especially random people!) about their transness or queerness.
You have no idea, generally, why somebody doesn't talk openly about their trans or queer status, and you have no idea, truly, how somebody might react to that information. The most progressive person out there is still capable of harbouring incredibly negative thoughts about somebody's queer status.
#lesbian#gay#bi#bisexual#trans#transgender#queer#lgbt#lgbtq#ally advice#inspired after somebody at work outed me (again ×3)#i don't care how 'safe' you assume they will be! you cannot TRULY guarantee their safety!#you are effectively gambling with somebody's safety by assuming you can out them#also even if their safety was somehow 100% guaranteed it is still not your place to dictate what others know about THEM#like it isn't your own information you are giving out. the other person is a real human being with real thoughts...#...and there are real ramifications to your actions! this is like... real life and like... real people#anyway. i'm still fucking horrified at how cool people are (at least wrt me) with outing others 🙃🫠#and it just... further reminds me that others see me as like... a thing to be talked about/over and i'm not seen as an autonomous human#maybe that's not their intentions 9/10 times but that still doesn't justify it nor does it change how i interpret that behaviour 👍#it's just dehumanizing imo to be reminded 'your comfort DOESN'T MATTER. i think you should be talked ABOUT not TO.'#clarification for the first tag: this is the THIRD time somebody has outed me. i NEVER talk about being trans to... pretty much ANYBODY irl#it's shit like this that i have to resist taking the 'doompill' over#because it's scary and dehumanizing every. single. time. i feel so fucking scared each time#because - AGAIN - i know my safety will NEVER be guaranteed because i am trans and queer

Gengar getting character development as a gay rights ally was not on my 2023 bingo card, that’s for dang sure. But if you somehow try to interpret this as anything other than gay gay homosexual gay? I diagnose you with heteronormativity www.youtube.com/watch?v=shZyg5VFI1Y LGBTQ
