My dearest people on tumblr, please please please please please please PLEASE!! do not hate on all the people who voted for trump a large amount of them weren't voting against the LGBTQ+ community and were the ones suffering from inflation the most. Yes Trump will hurt the LGBTQ+ community in some way during his presidency, NO not all Trump voters are in favor of this.

I am deeply saddened the outcome of this election and I can only hope people apart of this community can hold hands and get through these 4 years.

We cant change what happened but we can advocate! We can tell the people were equal!!!

My gay great uncle lost his boyfriend to aids he always tells me " I wish I was louder, then he would have lived long enough to marry me"

Were queer, and well always be here 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Times are scary everyone if you see a friend struggling reach out for them. If your struggling reach out

Love you be safe!!

I love Edwin booth so much. I know his brother killed Abe Lincoln but oh my god I’m so in love with him. He’s so attractive and handsome and he was such a troubled man with a good heart. straight out of a classical novel with the dark hair and eyes and pale countenance, with a lofty brow and a finely formed nose, and the brooding manner in which he lived. I love to gaze upon him every day

John Laurens after coming back to America:

IM SORRY FOR MAKING THIS 😭😭

[a-maniac-making-art]

I feel like a lot of people have tried to analyze Laurens’s sexuality and relationship with Hamilton by primarily (and oftentimes only) looking at Laurens through the lens of Hamilton’s letters.  And this is what leads to so many misunderstandings and incorrect conclusions.  There are two incorrect conclusions that I see come up most often.

1. Laurens’s letters to Hamilton are less frequent and less passionate than Hamilton’s letters to Laurens.  Ergo, Laurens did not truly love Hamilton, at least not to the same degree that Hamilton loved him.

If you take the time to study Laurens, one of the things you should notice almost immediately is that he wrote fairly infrequently.  Laurens did not write much and often forgot or neglected to write people back.  Laurens was not intentionally ignoring Hamilton.  In fact, Hamilton got a good chunk of Laurens’s attention when it came to correspondence.  The most frequent recipients of letters from John Laurens were Henry Laurens, George Washington, and Alexander Hamilton.  I cannot recall many - if any - letters that were written from John Laurens to his siblings during the time of the war.  Laurens wrote to Hamilton more often than he wrote to his siblings or wife.  It’s unfair to compare the volume of Hamilton’s and Laurens’s correspondence to determine which one loved the other more.  Hamilton, in general, wrote a high volume of letters, whereas Laurens wrote pretty sparingly.  It’s not a case of one ignoring the other or one being the better communicator in the relationship.

Additionally, it’s again unfair to compare the language of Hamilton’s and Laurens’s letters and proclaim that Laurens didn’t love Hamilton because his writing was not as passionate as Hamilton’s.  Hamilton was ridiculously sexual and passionate in his letters - he should be an outlier, not a standard to which we should hold the rest.  Laurens was also quite guarded in terms of expressing his emotions, particularly when it came to his romantic attachments to other men.  This is understandable, as Laurens seems to have felt some guilt over his attraction to men (he was raised by a strict Christian father in a heteronormative time period).  But if you compare Laurens’s letters to Hamilton with Laurens’s letters to others, you’ll find that his letters to Hamilton are some of the most emotionally expressive letters he ever wrote.  No, he was not as emotionally open as Hamilton was, but he expressed his love for Hamilton in a way that was more comfortable for him.  Furthermore, several of Laurens’s letters to Hamilton are missing, so we can only speculate what language those letters contain.

2. Hamilton’s writing about having Laurens find him a wife should be taken literally.

First of all, I can tell you this interpretation is wrong from one line in this letter:

Do I want a wife? No—I have plagues enough without desiring to add to the number that greatest of all; and if I were silly enough to do it, I should take care how I employ a proxy. 

Secondly, many people do not understand the context behind this paragraph:

I anticipate by sympathy the pleasure you must feel from the sweet converse of your dearer self in the inclosed letters. I hope they may be recent. They were brought out of New York by General Thompson delivered to him there by a Mrs. Moore not long from England, soi-disante parente de Madame votre épouse. She speaks of a daughter of yours, well when she left England, perhaps ⟨– – –⟩. 

If you read into Laurens’s side of the story, you will realize that Laurens had a wife and child in England which he neglected to tell Hamilton about - for one and a half years.  This paragraph isn’t Hamilton simply telling Laurens that his wife and child are well.  This is Hamilton realizing that Laurens was not a bachelor.  This adds a whole new meaning to the paragraphs that follow about Laurens finding Hamilton a wife.  Those paragraphs aren’t meant to be taken literally.  They were written by a shocked and somewhat jealous Hamilton who used sexual innuendo to both scold and tease Laurens.

Laurens’s side of the story is so important to truly understanding the Hamilton-Laurens relationship, yet few seem to be willing to study it.  It can certainly take some time, effort, and digging through long-forgotten documents (I’ve been studying Laurens for about three years now, and I’m still learning new things about Laurens’s sexuality and relationships), but it is necessary if you want to be able to fully appreciate Laurens’s life.

I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.

My opinion on Warriors the musical!!!

I didn't like it much, ngl. I didn't feel really any strong emotions, the sad parts didn't feel emotional, all of the sounds sounded to similar, and it was forgettable compared to Hamilton, In The Heights, and 21 Chump Street.

The voice acting was great though! And Lin definitely did an AMAZING job giving this musical a gang like feel... But like I said earlier, it was hard understanding the mod of the songs when his other musicals portrayed emotion so buitifully.

This is a average musical, it's not show stopping, it's not life changing, it's. Average

I wish it was a little more musical and less hip-hop like, but I totally understand why Lin decided to make it without the large number of instruments.

Sorry I'd the grammars bad!! It's late at night!
