My existence is not an idea. My family is a reality. Your religious views are much more dangerous and threatening to my family than we have ever been to you. How do I opt my kid out of your bigotry? #lgbtq #booksky #supremecourt www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Protecting and sharing queer history is more important than ever. Do you remember when you first realized our community has a history? I don’t like saying I grew up “sheltered” because shelter implies care and protection. #lgbtq #film #documentary #lesbians www.thearchivettes.com/trailer

I didn’t put a label on this post. I am assuming it got flagged because the photo for the linked post is a black and white photograph of a woman in her bra and underwear leaning against her bed in despair.

Yes, do it! I’ve recently discovered that it is so silly to believe all your exploration and rebellion happen in your 20s and then never again. All the older ladies with pink and purple hair in my writing group have taught me that! 😃
