I really enjoyed this analysis… 💌

Alec and Maurice in Maurice: A Study of a Couple

Especially illuminating the point about Maurice ‘badgering’ Alec (being overtly familiar) overstepping their class differences.

I've seen posts going around claiming that petting animals is basically tricking them into thinking they're being groomed, and it's bugging me because, like, there's no trickery afoot. Petting and scritching are grooming activities. They help to dislodge loose fur and foreign objects and more evenly distribute protective oils, among other things. Primates are social groomers, and the human impulse to scritch is the legacy of our primate ancestors. We see an animal we like, even a dangerous one, and the monkey brain says "groom that thing".

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Happy Pride Month to everyone who is

Out and not accepted by anyone

Closeted due to not finding a good time to tell

Closeted due to homophobia

Unable to be yourself due to your country's law's / society

Is in a happy relationship

Can't but wants to transition

Doesn't want to transition

And everyone else

Except the homophobes, terfs and other vermin who hurt us.

Parallels in Maurice (1987) — I just love the difference in his expressions here. From resigned, quiet bewilderment with Clive to the serene recognition of love and friendship with Alec.

People would call them ‘close friends’.

When you get so irked by someone saying that "Clive and Maurice were the better romantic pairing because they truly loved each other while Alec and Maurice's relationship was based on nothing but sex" that you end up writing a small essay in a Pinterest comment section (which had to be broken up into 500 word chunks because of Pinterest's word limit).

Anyway, I actually like what I wrote so I wanted to share it here. I didn't say everything I wanted to in the exact way that I wanted to due to the word restrictions, but I think it did the job.

Sexual orientation is almost one of the biggest self-identifications of straight people. When I was a kid (especially as an Asian little girl), people around me always made me ‘your future husband’-like jokes, and everyone took it for granted. Why did nobody think there was something weird about it?! And where the hell was those people so-called ‘worried about children’s misunderstanding of themselves’?!
