physically disabled people are just as fucking lgbt as abled people

i dont care how weird it is to see our disabled bodies, or how uncomfortable it is to see us use our wheelchairs or canes or crutches or rollators, or how hard it is to look at us in the eye(s) when we’re talking to you

we are HUMAN BEINGS not personified suffering

include us in your conversations WITHOUT taking pity on us or STOP pretending you care about us, support us, love us, and aren’t repulsed by us

TALK ABOUT DISABLED WLW!!!! and i mean PHYSICALLY disabled wlw!!!! talk about us!! include us in ur stupid positivity posts!! dont tack us on to autistic pride posts!! we are our own community with our own problems and we deserve our own recognition!!!!

LGBTQ Books for Massachusetts Schools and Beyond

Hey folks! Parker here. I’m a gay, transgender student in Massachusetts looking to widen the range of LGBTQ books that are available in public schools. I’m working on the Revere district currently; I already brought LGBTQ books to one of their middle schools, and I’m raising money to buy books for their high school.

This project isn’t limited to Massachusetts though. I look forward to expanding past Massachusetts in the future, but for now, my focus sits on Revere.

However, I need more than just monetary donations. The list of LGBTQ books I have accumulated is not as large as I wish it was. I have more than 90 books listed, most of which are young adult fiction. Don’t get me wrong, what I have already is fantastic, but there’s always space for more.

This is where you come in! Please, if you have any recommendations for LGBTQ books, shoot them my way! I’m open to any and every recommendation, and I would be delighted if you told me a bit about the book too. If needed, please include content warnings so I can put them on my book list as well.

Thank you so much for reading along, and have a wonderful day!! (P.S. As of 3/7/19, I completed the GoFundMe for anyone who wants to donate money. :) Yes, ALL of the funds go to books for public schools. Yes, I’m super excited about it.)

Hello!

I’m a new mod here! You can call me mod Dove. I love birds, but mourning doves are probably the closest to my heart. I’m joining to help out and provide another choice for requests; ask for birds! I’ll handle all bird-related requests in the future. 

Thanks for reading along, I look forward to my time here! :)
