IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, PLEASE READ.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is fighting for his political life.

Mail ballots for the gubernatorial recall election in California are being sent out right now. The voting deadline is September 14th.

POLLS AMONG LIKELY VOTERS SHOW A DEAD HEAT IN THE RACE. DEMOCRATS NEED TO VOTE ON THE RECALL TO KEEP NEWSOM IN OFFICE.

If the Republicans take California, it will deal a huge blow to the Democratic Party.

WHEN VOTING, VOTE NO ON THE FIRST OPTION ON YOUR BALLOT AND LEAVE THE SECOND OPTION (the checklist of candidates) BLANK.

Do NOT assume Newsom is safe; Republicans are salivating at the thought of ousting him. Spread the message and alert other Democrats in the state that the recall election is close and that they must vote to retain Newsom.

REMEMBER: YOU MUST VOTE (WHETHER BY MAIL OR IN PERSON) BY SEPTEMBER 14TH.

You’ve got to understand that this was 2014. I’ve seen some younger lesbian, bi, and queer folks today going, “So what? They held hands. They didn’t even kiss.” Or people watching it for the first time, saying, “I don’t see what the big deal is. There wasn’t any build-up!” 

But the landscape of children’s TV was very different six years ago. Like, that moment when they looked into each other’s eyes in a beam of golden light was revolutionary. I was living in a house with other queer people and we ALL screamed and cried, just like this.

Korrasami paved the way for Steven Universe and She-Ra to do what they did in the following years. And, yes, those were leaps forward whereas this was a step. But I saw it on another post, and I’ll echo the sentiment: Korrasami walked so Catradora could sprint.

Same-sex marriage wasn’t legal in the US in 2014.

Not until 2016. Before that, the marriage was only recognized in a few states.

It might not seem like much now, but HOLY FUCK this moment in the finale was huge in 2014.

The first norm-penetrating precedent rarely looks like some great achievement or change. It looks like a small violation of an established norm, radical only in how public it is. Sometimes you use tameness to buy the publicity needed to make progress.

Yo. I was born in 1988.

My canon queer couple?

WAS TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH AS COUSINS.

Cloverway gave one of them an offscreen boyfriend and, any time an uncuttable kissy scene came up, they started calling each other “cuz.” Another queer couple from the same show suffered the fate of being heterocized by one of them literally being genderswapped.

(Guess who became the girl. Go on, guess. At least it’s not as bad as France, where they became … brothers.)

That was my mainstream queer rep.

Oh. Until this came out.

… . yeah.

I’m not even in Avatar fandom and when those first gifs popped up on my dash, I started crying. I was 24 years old and crying over a show I had never watched because a pair of women held hands.

You can’t possibly understand what it was like before that.

You don’t want to understand what it was like before that.

I don’t want you to understand what it was like before that.

But there’s a reason we reacted like this.

I pray you never have cause to learn it yourselves.

[sonneillonv-deactivated20220218]

I do actually want y'all to know and understand what it was like before that because some of the hot takes coming out of younger community members make it staggeringly obvious you know nothing about our history.

Like, I don’t want you to experience it, but I really am going to need y'all to move into Formal Operational Cognitive Development and start considering that yours isn’t the only perspective and that things have changed drastically for queer people WITHIN MY LIFETIME and I am a relatively young queer who was born AFTER like ¾ of our population died of AIDS and we lost nearly an entire generation along with all their history.
