Canadian senator debuts largest queer picture-book collection in the world | Xtra Magazine

Alberta senator Kristopher Wells partnered with IBBY Canada to launch a publicly available collection of more than 300 LGBTQ2S+ picture book

Alberta senator Kristopher Wells is putting on a different hat on Aug. 6, when he makes his personal collection of over 300 queer picture books available to the public for the first time. Wells is partnering with the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) Canada to release the collection, and it is believed to be the largest collection of its kind in the world.  The collection includes books dating back nearly 50 years, which document LGBTQ2S+ life for young readers. IBBY Canada is the Canadian chapter of IBBY International, a non-profit organization that, since 1953, has worked to bring together children and books. Wells will participate in the opening ceremonies for IBBY’s 40th World Congress in Ottawa this week, the first held in Canada. The four-day conference will explore the theme “Listening to Each Other’s Voices,” and Wells’s collection fits in perfectly with this theme, which includes a focus on gender, sex and sexuality.

Hey so thats why i added my correction actually!! it is ABBA!! full stop bit ends here, that’s ABBA!! I’m glad people find this post funny, and i’m glad my correction got spread around because it makes a good punchline. But this is a pretty good example of why you shouldn’t put intentionally wrong information in image IDs. It’s one thing to make them funny so they’re enjoyable to read, but it’s another thing to completely misuse them- They’re accessibility tools. They should be separate from the rest of the joke material and as objective as possible, so people who have disabilities that prevent them from properly interpreting the image (like face blindness, for example) can be included without being misled.

[letters-to-lgbt-kids]

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

It’s a good practice to be wary of anything that presumes there must always and 100% be a clear, strict distinction between sexual orientation and gender identities - „Gay“ or „lesbian“ can also be gender identities. 

I think this is a point that can be quite confusing for baby gays (especially if you mainly connect to the community via the internet where labels are treated as something you list off in your profile like you do your name and age, something clearly visible and strictly defined) so let me explain: 

Not being straight is by default some type of „gender nonconformity“, at least in a society where heterosexuality is treated as the normal state. Gay experiences and non-cis experiences overlap in ways that are not always possible to separate. 

I am not saying „All gays and lesbians need to identify as not-cis or nonbinary“ or „All gays and lesbians are secretly transgender“ or anything silly like that - in fact, the point I’m making is pretty much the opposite of that, in that it’s about NOT forcibly assigning anything to anyone. 

Some people picture the community kinda like fruit: „all of these people belong in the category of fruit but these (gay, lesbian, bisexual etc.) are all apples and those (transgender, nonbinary etc.) are all pears“. Yes, that’s a weird metaphor but you get it: some people assume that there are the sexual orientations and then there are the gender identities, and they’re both queer but, well, you can’t compare apples to pears! They’re different! 

That’s not a horribly offensive picture per se… but it’s just not entirely accurate. In real life, you can’t always clearly separate these two. You can’t expect everyone to be able to separate „this is my orientation“ and „this is my gender“. These things can overlap and mix and interact and influence and contradict and play with each other.

You are not either gay or got something going on with gender. You get to be a bit weird about gender because you’re gay, if you wanna. 

Gender is weird. Being gay is weird. Life is weird. You can kiss girls because that’s your gender and you can wear dresses because that’s your sexuality and it doesn’t need to make sense to anyone but you and maybe it doesn’t even need to make sense to you because sometimes happiness is better experienced than analyzed. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

[gendercensus]

The 2026 Gender Census is now open!

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

i hope every lesbian gets to feel how it feels to have another woman be just as crazy about you as you are about them…. not having doubts or confusion.. I wish this with all my heart, for every lesbian, especially trans lesbians.

[butchfagminotaur]
