He’s also released some truly amazing music this year like “Preach” and “Kiss the boy.” On his sexuality he had this to say “I actually don’t label myself…some people call me queer, some people call me bisexual, whatever it is now I’m happy with all of it.”

25 Gorgeous Photographs of the Cincinnati’s Old Main Public Library Before It Was Demolished in 1955

this was for a school project but also a power move and my favorite pic of me

lilbanili-deactivated20181129

listen i don’t know if this was the original point of the piece but this is literally one of the most powerful images I’ve seen in relation to female artists and sexuality

it is a HUGE issue to get modern art historians to recognize historical lgbtq+ artists, especially women. A female artist could have never married, spent time with other publicly lgbt figures, and been living with a female partner for most of their lives, and yet you still get art historians who will jokingly be like “I guess that makes them a lesbian right? haha!” um yeah, professor janet, it does, and it’s not a joke

with that context, this piece gains an incredible amount of depth. I could write a full ten page paper on this piece alone. This is a self portrait (which beautifully and ironically emulates classic Renaissance formula) says “I am an artist, and I’m gay” in a way that by definition cannot be removed or questioned. Power move indeed, holy shit

what a nice and wholesome comment on this!!

Ok, art student losing shit over this, time for interjections

This is quite possibly the best modernist take on Renaissance art I’ve seen in years. Not only is everything is this picture perfect (posture, lighting, those cat eyes) but it emulates this beauty:

Judith Fucking Leyster’s Self-Portrait 1630, Netherlands

Now you may ask, who the fuck is fucking Judith Leyster?

She is one of 2 famous female Renaissance artists ie. women who were never covered up as being active artists because of their sex (second is Artemesia Gentileshi, she was a badass from Italy who was a favourite of the Medici family and did a series of self-portraits where she beheads her rapist, seriously Google this woman she’s amazing) and is one of a trio of women who reigned artist supreme in the Dutch Golden Age. Judith was from Haarlem and was part of a brewer family, so had no artistic background, yet somehow managed to gain the attention of painter Franz Pietersz de Grebber (who was a pretty big deal at the time) and entered his workshop. She was so good she was written into a book and ran her own workshop, the second woman to ever be accepted into the Guild in Haarlem. Within 2 years she had 3 apprentices and only punched out between 12-35 works in 6 years, yet went on to be one of the most popular painters of the time. After her death in 1660 most people forgot about her until one of her pieces was rediscovered in the late 1800′s after a serious of mistaken authorship.

She was so badass in establishing herself as an independent female artist, she helped pave the way for other female artists from then on to get a foothold in the field. After her rediscovery, her works influenced women from the Impressionist, Expressionist and Modernist age (which is really when women were finally being acknowledged as artists globally) and her pieces are still being hunted down.

So, not only is this photo Post-Modern and LGBTQ+ (brava babe :) ) but it’s also feminist as fuck and deserves a double thumbs up!

Didn’t even know people are not allowed to give blood if they are gay

captainfunkpunkandroll

That’s been the thing for years. The HIV scare of the ‘80s prohibited us from donating blood. And they still hold that against us despite the fact that that claim has been debunked over and over again.

discipleofpuck

the wording on the paperwork is “Are you a man who has had sexual intercourse with a man after 1980” or “Are you a woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man who has had sexual intercourse with another man since 1980” (this was a blood drive at my college where majority of the students werent Alive in 1980.) I donated all the time back when I was a virgin, because o- , but now I’m not allowed to. So a better question for this article is “Why won’t baby boomers let queer people donate blood, even though all the blood gets screened for HIV and aids anyway?” though, theres a lot of room for loopholes in the wording of it

lazysekhmet

This fucking matters. Bias in medicine is bias that should not exist. Fucking fix it.

luidilovins

This is disgusting

the-fury-of-a-time-lord

hey trans people can’t give blood either. was banned from a plasma place for having the nerve to show up and be trans. “we don’t serve you people”.

optimysticals

This is one of the reasons why it was painful for a LOT of Queer people after the Pulse shooting. We kept seeing messages calling for blood donations but so many of us can’t donate. We couldn’t even help our own community.
