big announcement: Digital Pride is back!!!

all throughout june, some of our fave LGBTQ+ creators are streaming, hosting charity events, doing marathons, playing games, hanging out, and raising money for our lgbtq+ youth programs.

we keep bringing digital pride back every year because we know not every queer young person can safely or easily access pride events in person. whether it’s because of where you live, finances, safety, disability, family circumstances, or anything else - you still deserve community, celebration, and queer joy.

we’ll be sharing stream announcements and schedules on IG and bsky throughout the month so you know exactly when and where to tune in and support.

see y'all in chat. <3

Thinking about bi4bi Anidala going to a pride march. Padme is dressed to the nines, has been going for years, is partying it up in an appropriate but ecstatic manner.

This is Anakin's first time here. He only realized he was bi like three years ago and has consistently felt a little imposter syndrome about it because like. [gestures] in love with the same girl since he was nine.

(Obi-Wan is also queer, but there was always SOMETHING happening that prevented them from going, so Obi-Wan never got to take Anakin to a pride event.)

Padme dresses Anakin up too. This mostly means putting him in board shorts, shirtless, with a bi flag painted on his chest and cheeks.

She is very happy to show off her Hunky Younger Man.

Materials and Resources to Help you #DefendPride This Summer from the Far-Right

This month in June, millions of people will celebrate Pride - honoring the queer rioters outside of the Stonewall Inn in New York City, who

“We know that we can’t count on the police to protect us, given their documented sympathies and outright coordination with the far-Right, not to mention their history of brutality towards queer and trans people. This Pride month, we must come together like never before in defense of queer communities and push back against the escalating threat posed by the far-Right. When we come together, organize, and stand up fearlessly, we can keep ourselves safe – and win.

Yes, these are scary times. But remember those that came before us who fought for liberation. Because of them, we are coming from a place of power; popular opinion is on our side. So it’s our turn to stand up and defend queer life, and keep fighting for those who come after us. Of course there are risks. But by becoming informed, prepared, and building community, we can mitigate those dangers and build a better world.”

Hello Tumblr!!!! I come here in search of suggestions!!!

Trump is going to be in my area in the upcoming weeks. I ask for suggestions on ways we can protest!

We have a large front yard, and we’re trying to find ways we can protest against him while he’s here!

We already have a plan to communicate with fellow members of our community to make signs, but we were hoping to think of more ways we can get our message across.

Please spread the word!!! Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I know this single data point goes only so far, but the other day I went to a fairly large-scale Pride festival (the main Pride event of a major city in my geographic region) and stayed for between two and three hours, talked to people at tons of booths, saw a bunch of shows on their stage, etc. And not one single indication of anything related to Israel and Palestine so much as came up anywhere -- not so much as one slogan or symbol, let alone a mention of it in anyone's speeches or a booth with a fundraiser for combating starvation in Gaza or "justice for Palestine" or whatever. By the way, the friend who invited me to join her at the event is Jewish and enthusiastically identifies as a member of the queer community, even organizing smaller-scale Pride events herself.

I bring this up because I got myself in hot water at some point last year over my denial that there's some ubiquitously pervasive antisemitism problem in queer spaces/culture. I don't deny that some militant queer organizations have insisted on embracing anti-Zionism as part of the omnicause and have enforced this in a way that veers into antisemitism. But claims of "the queer community is tainted with a strong antisemitism streak" continue to not hold water for me, unless one looks at the strong leaning among younger progressives towards being pro-Palestine/anti-Israel especially since October 7th, 2023 and equates that geopolitical leaning with antisemitism in a way that overrides the fact that in the context of larger numbers of people at an event the topic seems to be considered off-limits out of respect for the fact that different parts of the queer community (even skewed in proportion) have strong feelings on different sides of it.

In your opinion, should cities/local governments sponsor pride events like parades and festivals?

They already do in my area, and they should continue to do so

They already do in my area, but they should NOT continue to do so

They don't currently in my area, but they should

They don't currently in my area, and they should not

I have no opinion about this

Just went to pride! Wearing a dress outside for the first time! So many new exciting experiences!

Bought a cute little bird for my desk that's holding a trans flag (yeah yeah consumerism bad I won't buy anything else ok?). I also got a free genderfluid flag from the flag booth!!!

Met an awesome tgirl who was awesome

Saw a drag show. It was not for me but I see why they're popular. Also learned that I can "wooo" like women do at concerts and it'll sound like a woman doing it (I do this by inhaling rather than exhaling while vibrating my vocal cords), so that gave me a bit of gender euphoria

Got SO MANY COMPLIEMNTS ON MY DRESS!!!

The D&D people who I bought my bird from were also selling packs of dice for $30. Like jfc what whyy would you do that

My (genderfluid) gender changed back and forth a bunch. I feel like it happens whenever I do something feminine in public, where I feel like I have to reclaim my masculinity, so the reactionary side of my brain instinctively reverts to maleness. It's fucking annoying, especially since then I'm then doing a feminine thing while male and it feels super dysphoric.

Whenever I locked eyes with someone I gave them the male head nod. Which felt super dysphoric. It seemed to happen more when I was male, though. Interesting.

On my way back home I drew some stares from men! I also walked behind a woman without feeling creepy. It was great! (The stares from men thing will probably come to feel less great as time goes on. Each time I defused the tension by giving them a friendly wave which I feel like is not a good idea for a woman to be doing to men that are staring at her. Hopefully I find some better way to defuse the tension. Oh what's that? One doesn't exist and women just have to deal with that forever and ever? Fuck.)
