The mile-long rainbow flag being carried down First Avenue in New York City.

[arcaneasexual]

“For New York City Pride in 1994 (Stonewall 25), Baker created a mile-long rainbow flag that was carried down First Avenue in Manhattan. During the parade, Baker used scissors to cut segments from the flag to be rushed to Fifth Avenue for an impromptu protest march in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the headquarters of New York City’s anti-gay Catholic archdiocese.

Minnesota’s Giant Rainbow and Leather Pride Flags

June 28, 1998. Both flags measured approximately 50 feet wide and 75 feet long.

[ryuutchi]

Friendly reminder that the leather flag predates almost every other flag. We owe this community to leather daddies and kinksters

[nightmarechamillian]

In the era of corporate sanitization never forget it was leather daddies and S&M folks who protected some of the earliest pride parades.

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

[pekkhum]

I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.

The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.

shit that no one ever tells you: sex is a skill. People often seem to have this false idea that, similar to being an artist, you're somehow just innately good or bad at it. But that is definitely not true. Maybe you have some traits that make it easier (or harder!) for you to be good at it, but anyone can get good at it with enough experience and time. (And communication. A lot of it. Like, some people you will just click with and won't need to say much to be on the same page. But for other people, you might have to explain specifically in great detail each step you wanna take and why. And then maybe repeat it a few times because people can also be forgetful.)

all that to say, go grind out some sexperience with your local trans/gay/fag/homo/homie today

I love trans men btw. I love trans women as well. I love trans PEOPLE period. Us against each other is the worst outcome that could happen right now. Stay strong and support each other. I’m sick and tired of everything going on right now, especially related to the hateful rhetoric trans men are receiving. This does not mean trans women shouldn’t be respected. This is not saying one matters more than the other. This is not saying we can’t focus on both individually. But right now is not the time for fighting within a community when we as a whole are being threatened.

happy pride to trans men btw🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

[paper-mario-wiki]

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.

i’ve seen an uptick in positivity posts for feminine trans men (which is a good thing!). but it’s come at a time where many parts of the queer community are directly equating queerness with femininity and masculine queer people are being mocked, excluded, or shunned. so i feel a reminder is in order that we also need to let trans men be masculine.

if you’re ftm or a trans guy or a transmasc person and you’re not comfortable being feminine, you deserve just as much love and support as any other trans persom.

if you’re ftm or a trans guy or a transmasc person and you “pass” as a cis man you still deserve access to queer spaces and you deserve just as much love and support as any other trans person.

you shouldn’t ever need to hide or soften or deny your masculinity to gain acceptance and support. you’re allowed to feel hurt or angry when people say they hate men. being masculine does not inherently make you “threatening” or “less queer”. you are beautiful and you are loved and queer masculinity is, has been, and will forever continue to be an important facet of queer identity across time and space.

[naga-noia]

Being uncomfortable with femininity being pushed onto you does not make you misogynistic. not wanting to be feminine does not make you misogynistic. rejecting feminine qualities does not make you a pick-me. embracing traditionally masculine things does not automatically mean you’re embracing toxic masculinity. wanting to be a man does not mean you want to “benefit from the patriarchy.” Anyone who implies or tells you these points is acting in bad faith.

I see so many people shaming/belittling transmascs and trans men for their transition (including other transmascs/trans men who are ashamed of themselves), and it sucks. You’re allowed to be masculine. You’re allowed to be a man. You’re allowed to dislike being a woman. You’re not a bad person for doing so. Men aren’t “the enemy” and you aren’t evil for wanting to become one, or wanting to become attached to manhood in any way/shape/form. If I had internalized this earlier, I think I would’ve understood myself a lot sooner

[naga-noia]

if you see a trans man that’s too deep into tumblr discourse cycles, you have to regularly pull him out and remind him that he’s loved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have to tell him that his masculinity isn’t inherently evil or dangerous or antifeminist and that he shouldn’t feel guilty for being himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have to let him know he has people who love him for his manhood, and not in spite of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have to be there for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have to be there for trans men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
