I think I just peed my pants.
For the love of god watch this until the end
I saw my life flash before my eyes
if you pause it at just the right moment you can see the guy who was holding the camera
the cinematographer of a generation
Is that….Thanos?
SO IN THE NEW MBMBAM THEY GET AN AUDIENCE QUESTION FROM A GUY WHO’S BEEN INTO FIGURE SKATING FOR A WHILE AND GRIFFIN WITH AN AUDIBLE >:3C INTERRUPTS TO SAY “So you got into it two years ago… Was there a certain piece of media that had come out at that time…” AND THE GUY HAD TO SAY “LISTEN… Yeah.” CAN YOU IMAGINE GETTING CALLED OUT IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FOR GETTING INTO FIGURE SKATING BECAUSE YOU’RE A WEEB
in fairness Griffin’s immediate response was “you’re my hero” and the crowd lost its mind
I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.
The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”
1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.
Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.
It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.
dude had guts, someone needs to update his Wikipedia page

full offense but we will rock you by queen is 10000% a gay rights anthem and straight people dont have any rights to the song sorry :/
“Buddy, you’re a young man, hard man Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday You got blood on your face, you big disgrace Waving your banner all over the place”
like how can u hear that verse and think its a song for hetties idk how much more obvious it can be :/ :/ :/
Y'all big mad in the notes
Actually every song by Queen is a lgbt anthem
Don’t Stop Me Now is the bisexual anthem to end all bisexual anthems and you will not change my mind
Heteros are really pressed in the notes keep reblogging this
Why are they booing this post, it’s right
Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy–gay men’s anthem
Don’t Stop Me Now/Bicycle Race–pan/bi anthems
You’re My Best Friend–lesbian anthem
Mother Love–aro/ace anthem
Killer Queen–trans ladies’ anthem
Princes of the Universe–trans lads’ anthem
I’m Going Slightly Mad–nonbinary/genderfluid anthem
I Want To Break Free–everyone’s coming out anthem
it got better
how can one think any second that Queen is not 100% LGBT+ when they literally dressed like this in the I Want To Break Free clip
I got so sick of the cheesy Christmas playlist at work so I snuck in a version of All I Want For Christmas Is You where half way through the vocals change to Welcome To The Black Parade
Watching the customers slow down and squint in confusion is giving me life.
This is the song
Tea what the fuck I’m howling oh my god

I AM LAUGHING SO FUCKING HARD THERE ARE TEARS IN MY EYES
OH

FUCKING
G-D
LISTEN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL UNHOLY MESS
THIS IS GLORIOUS I DON’T KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS

You kiddos have no idea how groundbreaking this was. Like there’s a reason THE lesbian website for a billion years was called After Ellen. She changed everything.
oh man you know that feeling that’s like kind of an ache right between your heart and your stomach? like nostalgic knowing of pain? that’s how the scared look in Ellen’s eyes makes me feel.
Look at her hand too and how nervous she is. Every gay and lesbian person knows this feeling, because we know there are assumptions and consequences and there’s no telling how someone will react.
And let no one forget that she suffered consequences for this. It wasn’t just a moment of cathartic unburdening and then business as usual.
Right, she lost her first TV show. She worked hard to get up to where she is today.
is everyone who reblogged this okay?
no
so like… why are so many people on this site afraid of boobs???
boobs are nice
can’t spell boobs without BOO
shit you right that is scary
Happy first of October everyone

itsssss bugs !! i havent been on tumblr for a while, again, hey howdy, catch me over on twitter (@ mintlarks) or instagram (@ mint.tatts) if u wanna see my shit more regularly ??
i don’t want to achieve equality by sinking to men’s level, i want them to get on ours! why should i have to unlearn the conversational art of waiting my turn, unlearn sexual self-restraint, unlearn trust in others’ good intentions, unlearn the impulse to cater to others’ needs, just to have a chance at success among savages? why can’t the men learn some fucking manners so we can all conduct our affairs in a civilized manner? i shouldn’t have to stop saying sorry, you say sorry!
In the 80s when I was in my freshman year in college, they still had entirely separate mens and women’s dorms. I was in class waiting for a final to start and one of the guys was telling someone about how he had had to go into a women’s dorm to drop something off, and he was startled to see posters on the walls, flowers, curtains, etc. He said his men’s dorm had holes in the walls, things on fire, fights, guys walking around with open wounds and he just didn’t understand why they had to live like this. He said, “I want to live with the women, in civilization.”
Am reading Sisterhood of Spies, about women working for the OSS during WWII. One of the stories mentions that the women in London had a male visitor who would eat in their mess hall once a month. He was married and wasn’t interested in hitting on any of the women; he just wanted to eat in an atmosphere where people said “Please pass the butter,” instead of “PASS THE GODDAMNED GREASE”
I dated a guy who brought me along on group activities (movies, video game night, etc.) with four or five other male friends. Once I mentioned to one of the other guys that I hoped I wasn’t intruding on their “guy time” or some such. He got this sort of rueful look and said, “The truth is, I really like it when you’re here because it gives us a reason to act better. When it’s just guys, we all have to try to outdo each other with how vile we are.”
So the moral of these stories are men don’t even treat each other like human beings.
Me to my 6-year-old son: “You seem to like playing with the girls at school more than the boys. Why do you think that is?”
6-year-old son: “Sometimes I just don’t want to be pushed. It hurts and is mean. And the girls always pretend to be princesses or fun animals and stuff when they have tea parties. The boys just dump the tea all over the place. That’s just stupid and I don’t like wasting all that tea. It takes forever to make.”
Me: “Wow, I can understand why you’d rather play with the girls. The boys seem like they’re kind of rough.”
6-year-old son: “And when I play with the girls they make me the king because none of the other boys want to play tea party.”
Me: “Do you like being the king?”
6-year-old son: “Not really – I’d rather be a wizard, but it makes Georgia and Vivian happy.”
