Does anyone have the link to that beautiful artwork someone did of Ilya and Irina with "yes it's scary but you're brave" on it?

I cannot find it for the life of me

If you become a trillionaire you should immediately be shot and have your assets seized and redistributed. You were a fruit that is now ripe and ready for harvest

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

During this Pride Month, which has very much come from America to us, I'd like to tell you about some of Finnish queer history:

1903 Aino Malmberg published the first known lesbian short story in Finland, named "ystävyyttä" ("friendship").

1963 Christer Kihlman publishes a break trough novel Den blå modern ("blue mother"). One of the book's themes is homosexuality, and the book ended up winning the national literary price.

1966 Ilkka Taipale publishes a book "Sukupuoleton Suomi" ("genderless Finland"). In it a lawyer Herbert Gumpler criticizes the law that criminalized gay acts, because it left gay people vulnerable to extortion and violence.

1968 Keskusteluseura Psyke becomes the first registered queer association. It later starts to publish a magazine "96" for queer people.

These literary works and formal associations might seem boring compared to the "first pride was a riot" we hear from America. But the truth is that these published materials slowly moved people's opinions, and in 1971 "gay acts" were no longer a crime.

Also reminder that our nowadays well known and beloved gay icon Touko Laaksonen, "Tom of Finland" started his career in 1956 by publishing his art with that pen name in a magazine based in USA, because that stuff was still illegal in Finland, and even publishing with his real name could have got him into trouble before the law changed. But damn it he found a way to get them published anyway.

The moral of this history; never underestimate the power of a pen. A writing or a drawing can be a part of a change you want to see happening.
