Congratulations to America for successfully voting Trump out of office! Which seems unrelated to the picture but for me it’s incredibly relevant.
Back in 2016 I started posting Weslec stuff to my DA, which was largely motivated by the Pulse nightclub shootings. I wanted to do what I could to spread love for the LGBT+ community and defy the terrible people who hate them. Before then I had been too nervous/embarrassed to post that kind of stuff online (with a handful of exceptions), but between that and Trump getting elected that year I started using LGBT+ art to cope. 2016 was an awful year for the LGBT+ community.
So to me my Weslec pictures became a symbol of defiance, which probably worked as well as it did considering their roles in DutyBound (aka living to be a pain in Fassad’s side). So naturally, today I wanted to use them to celebrate.
With almost half of Americans voting for Trump we still have a long fight ahead of us, especially when the great pendulum of politics swings hard in the other direction. But until then, let’s do our best to change what we can for the better.
