Happy birthday to David Wojnarowicz, groundbreaking artist, writer & activist, who raged raged raged against inequity and injustice at every turn. If he hadn’t died of AIDS, like so many leading lights of his generation, he would have been 72 years old today (thread)

Happy Hitchcock's Birthday, to those who celebrate. Way better (and way queerer) than the white-curtain version that replaced this one.

I would like to pay tribute to the great artist David Hockney and his pioneering activist role in protecting gay rights through his wonderful works of art that will live forever. Here is an intense drawing full of intimate emotions, where a delicate feeling fulfills the artwork of love. R. I. P. ♾️
