Opinions aren’t permanent. It’s okay to change your opinion based on new information.

You shouldn’t have to convince someone to say “yes.”

Coercion is used in many sexual assaults. It can look different in different situations, but ultimately all coercion is manipulation. It can happen through:

pressuring (e.g. repeatedly asking someone until they are worn down)

threatening (e.g. “I’ll break up with you if you don’t have sex with me”)

intimidating (e.g. smashing something when someone says “no”)

blackmailing (e.g. “I’ll tell everyone you’re gay if you don’t”)

guilt-tripping (e.g “If you really loved me you would have sex with me”)

It’s important to understand that the person was not given the space to freely say “no.” (Source: ConsentEd)

If your partner cannot freely say no or use a safeword without explanation or qualification, it is manipulation, not consent.

If your partner cannot change their mind about something to which they previously consented without fear of reprisal or consequences, it is manipulation, not consent.

If your partner feels unsafe saying no to you or using their safeword with you, it is manipulation, not consent.

The semantics of consent may change in a BDSM/CNC context, but the principles do not. Play without consent is abuse. ▪

corporations trying to profit off of queer people by showing their support for only one month of the year is bad

and

it’s fun to watch conservatives get pissed that they can’t shop at target anymore because the big bad rainbows will corrupt their children :(

and

the existence of rainbow capitalism in the first place proves that society is now in a place where supporting queer people is the more profitable and thus more popular opinion and that means something

are all viewpoints that can absolutely coexist

There is a new Chrome extension that detects if a video you’re streaming has a strobe in it, will freeze the video and stick this warning up there until you approve it.

WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE????

[image description: a screencap of the chrome web store, showing an extension called “seizsafe - epilepsy alert for youtube” and an example image of the extension, showing a blocked video with the text “warning: the following content may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy.” there is a toggle with an option reading: “don’t warn me again during this video. click here or hit spacebar to continue watching 👆”. end image description.]

Prevent Photosensitive-Epileptic seizures while watching YouTube™ videos. We'll warn you before you see any flashy videos.

This was such a formative movie

This shit was revolutionary for the mid-90s. Among other things it helped me understand that transgender and cross-dressing were completely separate things.

To this day, I am in awe of the fact that Patrick Swayze not only campaigned hard to get the audition, not only auditioned in dress and makeup, but spent most of the day leading up to the audition walking around LA in dress and makeup.

This was a man who could sing, dance, act, ride a horse, fight, and walk in heels, he had nothing to prove to anyone, and he is MISSED.

aqueerkettleofish

Okay, I’m not done feeling about this.

If you’re younger, you may not know Patrick Swayze; he was Taken From Us in 2009. But Patrick Swayze was an icon of masculinity. Men were willing to watch romantic movies because Patrick Swayze was in them.

Patrick Swayze was fucking beefcake.

And this man didn’t just agree to do a movie where the only time he’s not actually in drag is the first three minutes, which involve stepping out of the shower, doing make up, and getting Dressed. He has ONE LINE that is delivered in a man’s voice, and it’s not during those three minutes.

And if you watch those three minutes, you see a stark difference between his portrayal of Miss Vida Bohéme and Wesley Snipes as Noxeema Jackson. (I am not criticizing Snipes’ performance. They were different roles.) Noxeema was a comedy character. Chi-Chi was a comedy character. But Miss Vida Bohéme was a dramatic role, played by a dramatic powerhouse.

When Vida sits down in front of the mirror, she sees a man. And she doesn’t like it.

Then she puts her hair up, and her face lights up.

“Ready or not,” she says. “Here comes Mama.”

And while Noxeema is having fun with her transformation (at one point breaking into a giggling fit after putting on pantyhose), Vida is simply taking pleasure in bringing out her true self. And when she’s done, she sees this:

And you can FEEL her pride.

All of this from an actor who, up to this point, walked on to the screen and dripped testosterone.

It matters that this happened in 1995. It wouldn’t fly today, wouldn’t be the right choice, we’ve moved past it, but it mattered and was important that it happened the way it happened today. It’s one of the stepping stones.
