#Repost @the_huntswoman ・・・ If you search “queer love” or “queer couple” online, you’ll likely find the same 2-3 images repeated, along with a heap of stills from The L Word. When I was coming out (a year long process), I would spend hours on tumblr, looking through images of queer couples and people. I envied seeing people in love linking fingers, or a group of queer siblings entwining themselves on a couch. I craved seeing that physical connection, proof in the photo of queerness – no hopeful queer lens needed. Since my year of coming out, that desire for queer images hasn’t changed. Queerness opens the door to new types of intimacy. A different look at how we view love and desire. A chance to take on new roles, play with established dynamics or start from scratch. Entwining “Who is in charge here?” with “Who isn’t?” Queerness allows for a three dimensional expression of self, allowing for rigidity and flexibility in the same breath. For me, queerness isn’t only a sexual orientation. It’s a lens through which I view all of my relationships. And, while I don’t spend hours on tumblr anymore, I smile whenever anyone mentions it. It’s where I first learned to try on identities, turn ons and fantasies. And I hope someday a little queer beeb sees this image on their feed, created with @sumajanedark and @disasterdarling, and they get a glimpse into what’s possible. #QueerFemme #Dapperq #lgbtcommunity #lgbthistory #alternativecurves #queerlove #effyourbeautystandards #autostraddlecamp #lilsnaxx #lingerieisforeverybody https://www.instagram.com/p/BsxtnnZHvO0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w9zb7n93zix1
