My love letter to the queer silver lining of 2020

A lot of revolutionary, unprecedented things happened in 2020 — that... goes without saying

But among all the chaos, one thing I can be grateful for was the surge of queer representation in western animation

I feel lucky to be alive in this time of change, and I’m also excited for the younger generation who gets to grow up with these explicitly queer shows

It gives me hope that this kind of representation will make it easier for them to figure things out :’)

Here’s to a safe, happy, and loving 2021, and here’s to being seen!! ❤️🌟

the fact that time passes and things change and people leave and you can only go back to a place physically and you will never be 14 15 16 again………….. i don’t understand how we are meant to endure that

You know there’s a reason I go by Shaolin Fantastic, right? Because you’re a superhero?Because people don’t need to know everything about me. Don’t worry. I got you, my alien brother. (x)

This ain’t Disneyland, this shit is the fucking Bronx. Either you be strong, or you be gone. All I find, all I keep. Either you beat the world, or you get beat.

I’m going down to that club, and I’m going to rescue my daughter. Go to hell, you coward!

For when people say they’re sick of seeing gay stuff everywhere. Suck it up. 4 years. 4 years. And that’s just on the books, it’s legal. It doesn’t stop shitty attitudes, actions, or straight up violence.

4 years only covers being legally allowed to exist and marry

There are still 17 states that have no workplace protection for LGBT+ employees, and 10 state that only have protection if you’re a government employee. That means over half of the states in the U.S. still legally allow LGBT+ discrimination at almost every workplace

You can legally get married in those states and the next day you could legally be fired
