Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

i also think. i also think every day jesper campaigns for kaz to change his title from bastard of the barrel to baddest bitch of the barrel. he’s like kaz listen you’d poll so highly with the queer community of ketterdam and kaz is like with every word you say you make me more homophobic and jesper is like well you weren’t very homophobic last night and then kaz hate crimes him.

#kaz polls so highly at ketterdam LIKE PEOPLE ARE USING REAL PHYSICAL POLLS LIKE THERE ARE PHYSICAL BALLOTS AT THE LOCAL KETTERDAM QUEER CLUB #soc #six of crows

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

nah sorry Sam Reid is one of the most beautiful men in the world. It's a beautiful cast overall, but he's the most gorgeous one in it, and most people are going to feel that way. That's why he's playing Lestat.

to say that sam reid is the most attractive out of the entire iwtv cast let alone one of the most beautiful men in the world is one of the most offensive and blatant lies anyone has ever told me. i'm not even saying sam reid's ugly but you do need to get your eyes checked and maybe an exorcism too. your words mean nothing to me and your taste can't be trusted. i don't care if you're in the majority. the majority is wrongggggg
