Service dogs training to sit through a movie at a theater.

It’s actually better than that - the picture comes from dogs being trained to sit through a PLAY… which means there are actors on the stage performing a musical for a theatre full of dogs.

Don’t even TALK to me about how Bobby Berk from Queer Eye, who was disowned by his family when he came out and lost his home at 15, has built an entire career around creating a home for other people so no one else ever has to go through that experience of feeling uncomfortable or lonely without a home

So I know that with the holidays some people gotta deal with shitty family or maybe don’t have a family so I’m just gonna say…

I can be your butch lesbian dad.

My skills in this department include:

Good at encouragement and compliments

Will put your drawings on my fridge

Will attend all your sports games and recitals; very good at clapping and using an air horn to show other parents that I am the Most Supportive

Always telling my coworkers how proud I am of you and of all the amazing things you do

Only 5'5", very unimposing and approachable

Will let you have as many pets as you want

Good at puns; once got booted from three different chat groups in the span of half an hour for pie puns

Will never fail to tell you how much I love you and how glad I am to be your dad

I’m so proud of you, kiddo!

With Father’s Day coming up, I would like to once again offer my services as a lesbian dad. I have added/remembered a few other skills within my repertoire:

Tacky shirts for all occasions

Will call you by nicknames such as “Sport”, “Kiddo”, “Champ”, “Buddy”, “Pumpkin”, “Buckeroo”, “Sonny”, “Sweetie”, or whatever you may prefer

If you want I can give your dates the Dad Look™ whilst chopping fruit with my great axe but then instead of giving them the Dad Talk™ I offer them some light refreshments (fruit salad) and ask them what they like to do (because you’re not my POSSESSION, why the fuck would I not trust your judgement? But I absolutely want to get to know the important people in your life!)

I will respect your gender and sexuality no matter what. 10/10 would take you to pride (probably while wearing a tacky rainbow “proudest lesbian dad” t-shirt)

I sing really loudly in the car (I know a lot of showtunes and rock ballads) and you are welcome either join in the singing or you can sit in your seat saying “uuuhhhggg you’re so EMBARASSING”. both of these reactions add to my enjoyment of driving with you

I will Always dance to the boppy 70’s music they play in the supermarket and my dance moves are Very Bad

If you want I can make a big show of leaping to my feet and saying, panicked, “YOU’RE NOT LEAVING DRESSED LIKE T H A T” so that you think I’m about to make you change but, no, I’m actually just grabbing the perfect accessory to match your shirt and then I give you a little kiss on the forehead and tell you to have a fun night

I am Small (only 5'5", very unimposing) but my heart is Big and my shoulders are good for crying on, should you need them

If you have goals and dreams and things you’re passionate about, I’ll always make time to hear them, and I’ll always encourage you to live your best life

Remember, Lesbian Dad loves you and wants you to have a great Father’s Day!!

this is EXACTLY the wars v. trek discourse i wanted on my dashboard

I was thinking Kirk and Luke, but of course Kirk is in the prequel era and then Luke’s time is TNG.

it worries me so much that there’s been this (mostly unintentional) culture built up around coming out, to where young lgbt kids are putting themselves in danger at school and at home because they don’t want to “live a lie.” i just want to say, i came out when i was 15 and it created a lot of difficulties in my life that i could have avoided by waiting until i was older. it isolated me socially, it exposed me to homophobia from my parents, my family, my teachers, and my classmates at the most important developmental stages of my own confidence and sense of self… closeted people are not living a lie. closeted people are surviving. don’t let anyone pressure you to come out before you’re ready. don’t put yourself at risk when you don’t have to.

Historically, the importance of coming out was put forward by Harvey Milk as a tactic for normalization through representation; if your librarian, your postal worker and seven of the people in your local sports fanclub are all gay & you’ve been friends for years with no disasters, the rhetoric of queers as a monstrous unknown Other collapses. The thing is, Milk was mainly talking to other adults who had their own means of survival; their own incomes, their own houses. Yes, homophobia has been used & is being used to eject people from their apartments & that is monstrous, & yes there are vulnerabilities which can cause you terrible harm as an adult, but when you are so much more vulnerable, your job is surviving. The closet is a survival tactic, & that’s all it’s ever been. It is not your job right now to be on the front lines of queer representation. Ellen DeGeneres & Laverne Cox are taking care of that so that you can be safe, & we’re going to need you to still be with us in ten years, ok? You can find people who are safe to be fully open with, and you deserve to be able to do that but you do not owe the intimate details of the way you fall in love to people who would not treat you with basic human dignity. People who will put you in danger have no right to your privacy, and no right to honesty from you, if that’s the way you want to frame it.

I came out to safe friends at 20 and in the greater world at 23 or 24 but not to my family until 31. They took it well after years of me helping them grow and learn better politics (they're Evangelical Christians in the American South so it took some time) but if I had come out as a teenager I would have been in abject danger. Stay safe and make the best choices for YOU, kids.
