This is Doris Pollas, the cofounder of the organisation now known as lgbt+ Denmark which by being founded in 1948 is one of the oldest if not the oldest queer organisation in the world.

Doris lived in a farm in Jutland as a child. She was always butch and figured out she was a lesbian in her teens. When she heard about a club in copenhagen where boys kissed boys and girls kissed girls she went just some months after and it was through that club she started a paper connecting queer people all up to seventies and co founded lgbt+ Denmark.

She is now 97 year and wishes for every queer person to have an as loving and accepting family as she did.

I don’t see a lot of older gays from my country, so learning about Doris, a masc lesbian, was really nice.

This infamous cake has been making rounds, and it’s even funnier to Danes because the animals on top are Bamse and Kylling (Teddy and Chicken), two of the oldest and most beloved character for children in Denmark.

The show might even have been popular with people on here if it had made it outside of Denmark, because it had no fucks to give about gender and sexuality.

Bamse (Teddy) was male, Ælling (Duckling) was female and Kylling (Chicken) was genderless.

Bamse and Kylling had a pink tutu that they were forever fighting over because they both wanted to wear it, as well as pair of shorts with leopard print that was understood to be the “boy’s clothes”. They also pretended to get married several time and could never quite agree on who was the bride.

It was so normalized that most people didn’t even realize what the show was teaching them about gender until it was pointed out to them as adults.

And what’s more, it was a government funded show.

It’s disturbing how often we go into the biographies of famous and revered men and find: he was a serial cheater; he was a sexual predator; he abused his wife and abandoned his children; or even simply–he never did an ounce of domestic labor, and relied on the servitude of the women around him to support his enlightened endeavors. These are kind of viewed as unfortunate blemishes on the oeuvre of an otherwise great man…“acceptable signs of wear,” so that we will still buy and endorse the product with no remorse. Now I’m all for learning great lessons no matter where they come from, and for learning about any person who has changed history, but we as a culture are right to have started a movement toward using these men’s behaviors to shine a critical light on their work. We should think critically about how these men’s misogyny, interpersonal callousness, and entitlement constitutes a fundamental flaw in their understanding of reality, and therefore a fundamental flaw in their overall thought. And we should keep asserting that women are not cannon fodder for men’s glories, and that we should not have an automatic “acceptable casualty” perspective when it comes to women.

In honor of pride month I’d like to give a shoutout to Denmark’s queen Margrethe.

She has been quite the ally who helped gay couples come out of the closet and be accepted in the 1990’s by inviting them to her royal balls and please bring their partners along if they so wished, like the politician Torben Lund who was outed against his will by another politician. Torben panicked but then he received an invitation asking if he’d like to attend her party with his boyfriend. That way she let the country, and especially the upper-class, know that there would be no homophobia on her watch. Torben and his boyfriend Claus were incredibly well received and it kicked off a small trend of public figures coming out at the royal balls, much to Queen Margrethe’s delight.

When Obama came into office he sent Rufus Gifford to be his ambassador in Denmark, along with Rufus’ boyfriend Stephen. They became very popular and beloved by the people, and to show how grateful they were for being so well received they decided to get married in Denmark. During their time here they had become good friends with Queen Margrethe who sent some of her royal guards to their wedding. Not to protect them, but to publicly show her support because she couldn’t attend herself.

Her time is coming to an end and she has started pushing her oldest child, crown prince Frederik, into the light more. She has clearly been raising him right because he too is an ally, so here’s to our Queen. You might not like the concept of royal families, but there’s no denying that she’s a good person.
