"Straight couples shouldn't be at pride"

Well uh…

1.) one or both of people you see as a “straight couple” could be pan/bi/poly/ace

2.) one or both of them could be trans or non binary

3.) you could be misgendering someone

[anidragon]

4.) They could be there to give moral support to a queer friend or family member who didn’t want to go alone.

[dragon-from-the-burning-mountain]

Number four is important

[ugly-bread]

5. They could be there because they support the cause stop fucking gatekeeping

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

6. They could be there in memory of a loved one, don’t forget Pride used to be a memorial as well as a celebration. I know a good number of straight people who go to Pride to celebrate the lives of friends and family who have died because they want to remember them as they lived, happy and joyful and surrounded by a community that loved them.

I'm Back

It hasn't been a good past couple of weeks. We had Pride 2016 on June 17-19 here in New Orleans. My fiance and I were all set to go to Pride, as we both had the weekend off. The Thursday before I wasn't feeling good and just stayed in bed, hoping It was a 24 hour bug or something. Woke up Friday still feeling bad and noticed that I had no output from my colostomy. Luckily enough I was able to get in to see my doctor and I was immediately admitted to the hospital because of a blockage and was slightly dehydrated. My Pride 2016 was spent in a hospital bed. I was discharged on Wednesday, rested the rest of the week and back to work this past Monday. Unfortunately blockages happen, but I'm so pissed at myself for ruining a what was gonna be a great weekend.

Zoom in on her face in the third gif. She means this. You are completely irreplaceable.

[omshanti-ompeace-blog-blog]

This went deep man. Look at her face. I would love to know where this came from, what she was talking about. And it’s true. So true. Completely irreplaceable. You are you and there is no better you

Reblogging because I needed to see this message tonight, and something tells me someone else does too.

[myseedbelongsinyourwomb-deactiv]

Reblogging as I think every one of my followers are special and impossible to replace.

Remember that.

it’s okay to have days where you cry six times. it’s okay to have days where you can’t even leave your bed. It’s okay to have days where you feel unsure. it’s okay to have days where you need a little reassurance. it’s okay to want that. it’s okay to have days where nothing is wrong but it feels like everything is. it’s okay to have bad days. you are still a good person to me on your bad days.

Dear Hollywood,

Stop making movies about people with disabilities “finding love against all odds” as if people with disabilities are unlikely to find love unless it’s in some “inspiring” story.  Our struggles are not your plot device.

To the parents who are boycotting Finding Dory over a FOUR-SECOND lesbian couple:

You’re letting your kids watching Disney movies which have:

naked women

a fucking stripper mouse

Satan

A 70 year old man enslaving a fucking 15 yr girl, giving her sexy outfits and calling her pussycat

This fucking movie

Drinking and smoking

Voodoo….

….which results in him, literally getting dragged to hell

And murder

But for some reason, a 4-second lesbian couple (or any future LGBT characters) is too inappropriate for your kids because now Disney is “perverted, evil, and it’ll brainwash your kids.”

Think of your priorities and morals.

Viewers in Nigeria get 'I Am Cait' kicked off the air across Africa

Conservatives are winning.

In Nigeria, Caitlyn Jenner’s reality TV show “I Am Cait” didn’t do so well. 

In fact, viewers were so upset with the content of the show that they complained to the broadcast network MultiChoice. The network then took the show off the air across the African continent. 

Bisi Alimi, a Nigerian-born LGBT activist who is currently based in the United Kingdom, said in a phone interview on Tuesday that the company’s decision is just one example of the daily obstacles facing LGBT Nigerians. “This just shows how close-minded and ignorant some Nigerians are,” Alimi said. “If they can be this aggressive towards a TV show, imagine how aggressive they are toward LGBT people who they see everyday.”

This is not the first time Multichoice has canceled programming due to public opinion. Last year, the same company bowed to similar anti-trans pressure and stopped airing I Am Jazz, a reality TV show that follows transgender teen Jazz Jennings.

In a statement, the company acknowledged its decision to pull the show. “MultiChoice recognizes the importance of respecting the views of a number of its customers and all regulatory environments within which its service operates,” it read, according to a report from Vanguard. “After careful consideration, MultiChoice would like to inform its valued subscribers that the show will no longer air on the channel across our platforms.”

Oof.

the lack of notes on this is depressing

[painandcats]

hatred of disabled people doesn’t have to be blatant:

complaining about “people who walk slowly”

calling people with specific dietary restrictions needy/fakers/high-maintenance/etc.

insinuating someone isn’t responsible if they’re “living in their parents’ basement”/some variation thereof

insinuating that students with disabilities are actually “cashing in on special treatment”

praising what are basically snuff films about disabled characters

defending the casting of abled people for disabled roles

defending paying us lower wages

Our thoughts and prayers are with the community in Orlando at this time, with the LGBT community throughout the nation, with the victims of this unspeakable violence, and with their families. For the LGBT community, June is a month for pride, celebration, and affirmation. It should not have to be a time for fear and mourning. ASAN stands in solidarity with the LGBT community, and holds in our hearts those living at our intersection. You are loved, you are valued, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that you are safe. We also stand with the many Muslims in our communities, who may be facing increased Islamophobic backlash in the wake of this tragedy. Finally, we affirm our solidarity and empathy with all Americans who are shocked and appalled by this preventable preventable act of horror and those like it across our country. Basic safety, the freedom to love whoever we love, and the ability to live our lives in peace are fundamental human rights at the core of our national values. We will not permit this devastating tragedy to take them away.

Please take care of yourselves and each other today. The following resources may be of help:
