(Image description: four images in pink, yellow, and orange shades. The text on the images reads: "Lesbians who prefer gender neutral pronouns are wonderful. Lesbians who prefer neopronouns are wonderful. Lesbians who prefer he/him pronouns are wonderful. Genderqueer and nonbinary lesbians are wonderful.")

[id: screenshots of tiktok captions. the images say, “but the only reason we still love princess diana is because she did not have the time to disappoint us.”]

begging queer kids to read up on princess diana’s involvement with the community. yes, she was a rich, pretty monarch. yes, she died young.

but the reason why queer people love her is because she used her privilege during the aids crisis to advocate for sick queer men, when very few others would - much less someone of her status.

diana spent years advocating for the health and care of queer people with hiv/aids. in 1987, at the height of the epidemic, she opened the first specialist clinic dedicated to treating aids patients (the first clinic of it’s kind in the uk).

she also fought public hysteria by hugging and shaking bare hands with aids patients, at a time when aids was thought to be spread by skin to skin contact. not only that, she visited patients in the clinic regularly and even comforted them through their sickness.

and when queen elizabeth told her to try focusing on “something more pleasant”?

diana ignored her and kept fighting.

and this is only her work towards the aids crisis. she publicly called out the royal family, brought attention to numerous world issues, and was known as an advocate for empathy and kindness. she’s known and loved as the people’s princess for good reason

WE ARE QUEER: VISUAL ARCHIVE PROJECT ​

For the world, for our families, for our friends, we have always been a subject of curiosity, bullying, and harassment. But we are sick of this. We, Queer people, are sick of complying with the rules, the social fabric and the society, that can’t see us happy, that can’t see us in love, that can’t see us living our life, the way we want to.

For almost two decades, Nepali queer people have been fighting for equal rights, regardless of the fact that that society and the country have always made them, migrant to their own home. They have been silenced, beaten, harassed, and even killed. They faced discrimination and humiliation from their friends, families, society and the state. But still, nothing has stopped them. Their determination and perseverance are exemplary, and not only are they marching the flags for themselves, but they are definitely making things easy for the future generation as well. To honour those people who have been fighting for equality, both on the frontline or in silent wars against queerphobia, we the team of Kaalo.101, initiated this visual archive project, WE ARE QUEER for this year’s Pride month.

The archive project is a documentation of Nepal’s queer movement, celebrating both small and big wins. It primarily is an online visual archive and showcases pictures of queer people, their struggles, their celebrations and many more.

With our collaborative effort, we hope to be successful in this project and hold space  for discourses and create platforms for archiving queer history.

“they/them pussy is-” whatever. they/them cock is like the blue potion. from zelda. they/them cock is like when you stand up too quickly and pass out for .0612 seconds and visit the machine elves and they teach you about 3-dimensional numbers

Trying to create a free library of content is complicated. What this project aims to do, above everything else, is to make queer history accessible to queer people. To do that, things have to be free. A financial barrier to any of our content is going directly against the point. 

At the same time, myself, my editor, and my fellow writers deserve to be paid regularly and well. I wish I could spend all my time just sharing queer history, and bits of information with the online world, one day, I hope that I can do just that. 

But, the project needs financial support and a lot of it. Honestly, some days it is hard to ask because I am already so blown away by the support we do have. It feels like I’m being ungrateful. Still, we are nowhere near the point of comfortable complacency where I can just lean back and spend my time sharing history. Marketing and pushing the project is still a large part of my job, so here I am doing it again. Please, if you have the financial ability, support our project on Patreon, or send in a one-time donation.
