#Queer Ally

[teratomarty]

My brother is a librarian, and his library is one of the ones that hosts Drag Queen Story Time.

He is also 6'3", 300 lbs of Heavy Weapons Librarian.

This week, some karen showed up to take video of said storytime. She was unmoved by the director of the library telling her their policy against taking video in the children's room.

My brother was also unmoved. Specifically, he was unmoved from his position directly in the line of karen's cellphone. She got video of an acre of blue broadcloth shirt, and that's it.

Other people who showed up to scowl at the drag queen decided they had other things to do that day when my brother scowled at them. He inherited our Mama's scowl, and it's a good one.

Sometimes, an ally looks like a big fat bald white guy. Sometimes, an ally looks like a wall.

New GFM for Lola!!

"Lola is a Nigerian transfemme who needs help with funds for moving. She has to move to a new city for her own safety and so that she can be able to live vicariously. In the past 3 years she has had to deal with homelessness, harassment, and physical abuse due to the rampant transphobia in her current city and she deserves to have a fresh start in a place where she can live without the constant fear of violence and move forward with her life. Black Trans people deserve to live full fulfilling lives."

Shoutout to my trans friendly but extremely autistic grandmother who refuses to use They/Them pronouns unless someone is plural because she's dead set against "they's" as a possessive term and "they was" as a past tense indicator of an action because it reminds her of the accent of a long dead and deeply beloathed coworker who picked up most of his accent from pittsburg. Notably she's fine with They/Them as long as someone is plural, and is entirely willing to refer to someone by name or with another term- IE "that person/creature/girlthing/nonbinary gremlin" upon request.

She's something else. Wrote out a check to my new name for my last birthday because "I don't know your clothing preferences or sizes, and if someone bought me an ill fitting blouse that I loved the look of, or a perfectly fit blouse I despise, I'd be quite put out, and you're set on everything else I know you like."

Notably she wrote it out to my new name, and even months later, I haven't even updated my name with the bank yet, as the speed of bureaucracy is abysmal, so I can't even cash it.

Love you grandma! :3

saw someone yelling at some poor white and suposedly cishet guy at pride and like, do they know how stupid they sound? That maybe cishet guy could have been queer himself, he could be related to a queer person, or dating one. And you, that all dosnt even matter because we should be glad a white cishet man gives enough of a shit about queer folk to come to pride to celebrate and protest with us.

Do not yell at or attack cishet white guys at pride, you just look like a fucking idiot who's been in an echo chamber for too long.

Pride events are for EVERYONE who's there to celebrate pride. EVERYONE.

Gege Akutami is a WHAT?!

So Gege Akutami is a fudanshi? 😁 That makes so much sense.

So me saying for years that Megumi is bi on a subtextual level is basically correct and all the satosugu truthers are also correct and Sukuna's obsession with Megumi is also gay and Sukuna and Yuji also have some gay in them just like Nanami and Haibara 😂😂

And of course Kirara and Uraume but they're text 🌈

It's endless 👀

Helpful explanation of he/him lesbians!!

So I've seen alot of people confused about the existence of he/him or they/them lesbians and how that's possible, so I'd like to clear that up!

Simply put, pronouns do not equal gender (and neither does sex, obviously). He/him lesbian does not mean male lesbian. If you are a woman, cis or trans, you do not necessarily have to use she/her pronouns. Your pronouns are whatever you want them to be, and so is your gender, and they do not at all dictate eachother.

Examples of he/him lesbians:

-Many butch lesbians use he/him pronouns because it matches their masculine-leaning presentation. Some could also be fluid or polygender into masculine genders.

-Some trans men/enbies who are very early into their transition may also still feel comfortable calling themselves lesbians (such as myself! Even though I'm transmasc and would not like to be called a woman, I would still rather be called a lesbian than a straight man. Maybe later into my transition, that might change.)

-Some enbies are also fluid or polygender into feminine genders and could at times be considered lesbians, no matter their pronouns

I hope that this explanation has been helpful! Together as the LGBTQ+ community and allies, let's all keep learning to understand eachother and help make the world a safer, happier place!

I was talking to my sister the other day about a Polish queer movie called "Hiacynt" (Hyacinth) which is called "Operation Hyacinth" in most non-Slavic countries, since their citizens are less likely to understand that's what the title is referring to.

When I showed my sister the trailer she went:

Her: Oh, so it's a gay movie?

Me: Yes. Why did you think it was called Hyacinth?

Her: What?

Me: You know, like the operation Hyacinth. That time the government created the "pink files" on gay men and transgender people to blackmail them and isolate from society. That literally happened only 34 years ago and the files exist to this day in police's archives.

And she just didn't know about this… because it never effected her… because straight people just don't bother with learning queer history.

What…

That moment made me cry 🥺 Poor Nick 😭

In 2005, Dolly Parton wrote a Grammy and Oscar nominated song, “Travelin’ Thru,” for the movie Transamerica. The movie is about a trans woman who goes on a road trip with her long-lost son. Dolly’s song “Travelin’ Thru” is literally about how Jesus loves everyone, including the characters in the movie. In her beautifully poetic lyrics, Dolly compares the spiritual journey of coming out and self-acceptance with being born again. She directly references the Bible as well as two earlier Gospel songs, “Wayfaring Stranger” and “I Am a Pilgrim.” Dolly said she wrote the song because of her status as an outsider and her belief that “It's all right to be who you are.”

My point is that, even before “Travelin’ Thru” 19 years ago, Dolly Parton has ALWAYS been an ally and a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights. There have ALWAYS been Dolly Parton drag queens, and Dolly has ALWAYS loved and supported them. She has ALWAYS had queer fans, and she has ALWAYS loved us (yes, US. I’ve been a fan of Dolly all my life). The fact that some homophobes are just now discovering that Dolly Parton is an LGBTQ+ ally tells me they have not been paying attention, and they aren’t really fans of Dolly Parton or they would already know how she stands.

Stop outing people.

If you claim to be an ally, you need to be aware of the people you're around and what you're saying about queer people.

It is not your place to make comments or jokes about somebody's sexuality or gender identity if they haven't given you permission to do so.

Just because YOU are an ally and that person trusted YOU, does not mean that everyone is an ally.

Your reminder that Detritus is one fuck of an ally (and later a wholesome troll dad to Brick too 🧱)

Buy My Art; Support a Queer Artist!

Hey everyone! Just coming on here to remind everyone that I have a RedBubble shop that ya'll can check out! I have lots of pride designs up right now, but I'm working on some more. Here's some examples of the pride designs I have up:

(I have a few other flags, but I don't wanna post em' all here. On my shop I currently have: Ally, Progress, MLM, Lesbian, Bi, Pan, Omni, Trans, Genderfluid, NonBinary, Queer, Genderqueer, Aro, Ace, AroAce, Agender, AroAceAge, and Intersex. If you wanna see more flags, let me know which ones you wanna see next! All my pride dragons have a version with eyelashes, and a version without.)

I have other designs that aren't pride, but yeah. If you buy from me, you'll be supporting my savings towards things like: College, a chest binder, b-day gifts for my friend with transphobic parents (I'mma get him a chest binder, too :3), species affirming gear, and food (because I need to stop using my parent's money to by ice-cream every time I get my period).

So if you like what you see, check out my RedBubble shop here or here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanisaurStudios/shop?asc=u
