Top Surgery Details and Surprises The courage it takes to do something like this is exceptional and should be respected rather than questioned because you may not understand it.

They Danced, They Dazzled, They Disappeared: The Lost Era of Queer Joy in America This LGBTQ History Month, let’s remember when queerness ruled the stage... and why it was silenced. A forgotten drag revolution in 1930. A warning from history. A love letter to queer joy.

They won’t teach you this in school:

In the 1920s & 30s, queer performers ruled nightlife. They called itΒ The Pansy Craze.

Before Stonewall. Before Pride parades. Before RuPaul told us to sashay away.

Women in support of the trans+ community - Not in our name

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Wow, peak whiteness for a WHITE billionaire to use a Hawaiian word to walk back his ill-informed idea that San Francisco should be next on the National Guard tyranny tour.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. β€οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
