I am sitting on exgayministries.com and want to turn it into a queer resource site

This year for Pride Month, I am putting together a website filled with resources and helpful information under a domain name that could be used to do harm to us. The problem is that there is a lot of stuff to look through and I only have so much time in a day, which is why I am asking for some help to crowdsource this information from anyone willing to participate during this early phase!

I am looking for national/international/large-scale resources* to include as well as books, movies, music, journal articles/news publications, anything that would be helpful for creating a solid mass of information and uplifting material about queer folks. Please submit a post to me here or email [email protected] (email is preferred!) and I will review the submissions. I would like to have an early version of the site online by the end of the month.

Please do not send the following:

Local resource center information*

Personal contact information for anyone at all

Information locked behind a paywall

Please do send the following:

Art, music, TV, film, and written works that prominently and positively feature queer characters and themes

Recommendations for services that provide assistance to queer folks

Credible resources that help to dismiss and debunk harmful pseudoscientific lies about queer folks

Blog posts, videos, and other online works that provide thought-provoking ideas about queer folks as individuals and the community as a group

The goal of this site is to create a landing page for anyone in a dark place that needs a little bit of help. I vividly remember being a scared gay teenager and trying to find something online that would help "fix" me, and I know a lot of other queer folks who have had that same experience.

Additionally, if you or someone you know is domain parking on a potentially queer-antagonistic site, please get in contact with me! I would love to take that site off of your hands and redirect it to the resource center once it's online!

Let's build a lighthouse and help these people find their way home.

*Creating a list of small-scale groups is a good way to get those groups doxxed/harassed out of existence. I would rather not unintentionally create a hit list

If you find this project interesting but don't have something to submit, please reblog to help gain visibility

My chosen name is Jay and I'm trying to figure out a middle name for myself and I had a thought

I low-key stole my first name from Jay Gatsby,

so what if I chose the middle name Gatz

Why not just steal half of his given name as well as the half of his chosen name I already stole

To my fellow members of the LGBTQ+ community and to all others who feel lost or confused about their personal identity:

Even if it is “just a phase,” it is okay to identify with that which you feel fits you best in this moment.

Let people have “phases.” Let them be who they are in this one individual moment. Who cares if it doesn’t last? In this exact moment, this is who I am. If that changes in the future, that doesn’t invalidate how I felt in the past. It is okay to go for what feel best in this exact moment, to live for the present, to live for the individual moment, and to live day by day. In fact, living in the moment is healthier that being anxious about the future.

Right now, in this single, split-second instant, what feels best to you to be? Gay? Bi? Trans? Asexual? Genderfluid? Pansexual? Be it. Be what fits best at each individual moment.

Be who you feel you are in this exact moment, and worry about the future when you get there.

1 YEAR 3 MONTHS ON T VOICE UPDATE

I’m getting a lot of asks regarding voice changes and transition so I figure I’d post an update on mine

Here in the U.S., you can name your kid almost anything, but that's not the case everywhere in the world. Let's take a look at some countries with pretty strict or otherwise fascinating baby-naming laws.

In some countries, a baby’s first name has to be gendered.

I am not merely any one gender, I am the very embodiment of the concept of IDIC.
