[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

pride (2014); dir. matthew warchus

“there’s a lodge banner, down in the welfare. over a hundred years old. bring it out for special occasions, y’know. i’ll show it to you one day. it’s a symbol, like this. two hands. that’s what the labour movement means - should mean. you support me, i support you, whoever you are, wherever you come from, shoulder to shoulder, hand to hand.”

okay actually i'm not done prideposting because i'm having emotions about the way it centres solidarity and community

like. a few of the characters get individual arcs but joe's is the most fleshed out (bc he's a fictional character used to join the real-life narrative together and most of the others are real people, real lives aren't as narratively coherent). he starts out as this nervous kid who has never been part of anything, he's living at home, he's hiding who he is

and in many films his queer arc would be about, well, his sex life, his romantic life, whatever, he'd get a boyfriend and that would be what made him leave his parents' house and stuff. but while joe does get to make out with a guy at the Pits & Perverts gig, fundamentally what he gets out of LGSM is friendship and a place to belong and a place where he thrives, going from a nervous kid at the beginning to a confident leader at the end who reminds the others of the importance of standing together in the face of opposition

and the bit where joe leaves his parents' house and goes to stay with steph and they have their whole "i'm glad you came back" moment and steph goes "if we were normal, this is where we'd kiss" and they laugh and then they entwine their hands (because. holding hands is an important motif of solidarity in this movie and this is peak gay/lesbian solidarity right here)... many stories would have given joe a boyfriend to run away to live with and this would be a romantic moment, but this one doesn't, it gives him a FRIEND, because the solidarity is more important than the single individual identity

that is not to say that it would be a bad story that focused on those individual relationships because of course they are a crucial part of queer narratives. but this is a film about friendship and solidarity between different communities, different people, finding the common threads of humanity. and the themes of friendship and solidarity permeate the individual arcs as well as the larger story. for joe to be discovering confidence amidst a group of friends working together for a larger goal, and for him to find safety with a friend (somebody with whom he'll never have a relationship because they are fundamentally incompatible in that way), serves those themes better than a story that would focus on giving him an individual romantic arc. you know??? because it's a story about solidarity.

happy june if you've never watched Pride (2014) you should watch Pride (2014) and if you have watched Pride (2014) then this is your sign to watch Pride (2014) again

@userphotoshop​ event 2 | pride ↳ PRIDE (2014)

It’s a show of solidarity. Who hates the miners? Thatcher. Who else? The police, the public and the tabloid press. Sound familiar?

[lesmisrarepairdaily]

The Les Mis Rarepair of the day is …

❤️ Madame Magloire/Baptistine Myriel ❤️

Apparently, Maglistine is a rarepair. Rare! Goes to show that none of us here have good taste.

These two old women spend their lives together, in a quaint little town, with their pet bishop. Must I convince you that they are married?

Do you ship it?

Yes (ironically)

Yes (genuinely)

Yes (but only unrequited)

No

Old cottagecore lesbians are of no interest to me.

Voting ended onJun 4

Georgie Glen as Madame Baptistine, Heather Chasen as Madame Magloire
