#Queer Support

[queertranshappiness]

To those who are in queerphobic and unsupportive environments: please, no matter what happens, do not give up hope. Somewhere, out there, there is someone like you who is thriving despite everything that the world has thrown at them. In the ways you can, search out and find those stories, and find people that show you just how valuable you are. They are out there, and online community is just as valid as in person. You do not need to be out to be valid, and only come out when you know it's safe and you've got a plan.

If this blog can provide you with some comfort and affirmation, that's all we want. And we're genuinely glad it does.

PLEASE DON’T IGNORE OUR CRY FOR HELP

Hi friends,

My name is Ashley , and I’m a queer refugee originally from Uganda, now living in a refugee camp . I know this might seem unexpected, but I felt the need to reach out because we are in a situation of desperate urgency.

I represent a group of fellow LGBTIQ refugees here, and we are facing unimaginable hardships. Many of us are starving, without food, water, or proper medical care. Some are living with HIV/AIDS and have no access to life-saving medications. The situation here is truly dire. On top of that, we live in constant fear of persecution under Sudan’s harsh anti-LGBTIQ laws.

I’m embarrassed to ask for help this way, but we are at a breaking point. We urgently need support just to survive. Any donation—no matter how small—could save lives in our community. If you’re unable to give, please don’t ignore this message. Sharing this post could reach someone who can help.

Please consider supporting us or spreading the word. This is our reality, and your help can be the lifeline we so desperately need.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this. Your compassion means everything in a time like this.

With gratitude,

Ashley.

[ID: a slightly messy corner of a studio apartment with a desk that has a fridge next to it and cooking supplies beneath it.]

Hey so these past 4 months I've currently been living in a renovated hotel room for student living, and that means I didn't have any cooking space because there is no kitchen. Nearly all of what little money I've been able to have has been being spent needing to eat out or otherwise not being able to eat very well because of a lack of ability to actually cook for myself.

I just managed to get ahold of an old desk that will fit perfectly for cooking/counterspace and so things are going to be looking up for my finances once I can just get a few more necessities--but now that I don't need to buy An Entire Fucking Table, that's a relief.

If y'all could please toss some change my way so that I can buy those necessities (mostly a hotplate and other cooking supplies I can't purchase with EBT/SNAP benefits) and actually start saving up my cash again like I was planning to, I'd be so fucking grateful. Augghhhhhh I knew going to school like this was going to be difficult and these past few months have been a Fucking Adjustment but we're making it, folks, we're fucking doing it. Thank you for all your help before, now, and in the future. I'm not going to let it go to waste.

Love for Heartstopper

Okay, I'm really pissed off at Netflix right now and I'm trying to get my ghost boys back. So I've been on their Insta page a lot, leaving comments.

They just posted a cute video for Heartstopper S3 where the two boys are kissing (link).

This video is currently being flooded with homophobic hate comments and gifs! I haven't seen this much hate on any of their other posts in the last month and it makes me so angry! I don't know if there is a group specifically organized around this video because the other posts on Heartstopper don't look that bad.

So I would like to ask you to leave a nice comment on this post, whether you like Heartstopper or not. I think we should all stick together for all our queer shows. Maybe that way we can counteract the flood of negative comments.

PS Sorry for tagging all the fandoms, I know it's a bit like spam, but I just want to reach out to all the fandoms I am an active part of!

I decided to finally write about some of the struggles I face as an independent artist. Tumblr has always been an incredible space for me to introduce my music to new listeners. So withy get if you come across this check out the links and enjoy the words ❤️

IG: justymusic

TikTok: justjustymusic

An open love letter to music.

Why is music feeling like watching every kid in the school yard get picked up before me.

My mind flashes back to that feeling seven year old me embraced knowing I would sit on the cold after school lunch tables until the final call. A late evening met with an early morning every day.

But music was supposed to be safe. When I found room to be above mediocre I clung to it for dear life. Remembering the words of the first teacher who saw me, truly saw me, and how she believed in my own lyricism even at its earliest stage.

I was so hungry when I was young. Staten Island could never offer the hug a queer black kid needed, but music could.

Home didn’t understand the sadness underneath budding teenage frustration, but music could.

I met music on a first date with no expectations but in queer fashion, maybe I fell too fast.

She took up my days. Multifaceted and engaging.

She became home and a safe space. She brought out the best in me. Introducing me to all of her friends and favorite places, putting me in rooms with people I’d be invisible to until I opened my mouth, hit the mic.

Maybe in my bliss I never stopped to consider this to be unrequited love.

We never needed all of affirmations when we first fell and yet now I find myself watching the single digit counts of comments or lack thereof.

I wonder if anyone is listening as I go to share another piece of myself to no avail.

Maybe I was sharper when I met her, yet now I watch as seemingly everyone around me makes it to those places I told her I’d take her- and even worse, I ration with if I never will.

There’s guilt as I see 29 stretching out to me, how lucky am I to meet another year of life- luck not offered to my cousin, yet how terrifying to know the projection the industry throws at me.

Even as I dodge, I become scorned thinking of how easy it seems for everyone else. The virality and colossal rise. Their talent not mine, their shine not mine, their wins not mine.

When will it be my time?

Will it ever be my time?

My days are spent helping future leaders secure their future, and yet I write and erase Plan B on what used to be my “anything is possible” journal.

Still, there is that hopeless romantic in me.

Wondering if maybe it wasn’t the right time, but the time may simply be on the way.

I know time waits for no one, but as I keep throwing my heart at the wall, I wonder where I will stick.

hi tumblr 10

hi. no art today. ik, the "hi tumblr"s are mostly art, that's my bad. but i need to get shit out,, nothing heavy just. yeah.

okay. look. im sick and tired of seeing furry, therian, lgbtq, etc etc hate. i hate it. i dont care if any of the listed killed your entire family and looked you in the eyes evily, that doesn't mean all of them are bad and you should hate them. sure, some people are weird, especially furries, but not all of them. im a therian and lgbtq myself and im not afraid to say that. if you don't support that, get off my and my friends blogs.

ive seen furry videos, and they're great and you look through the comments and see stuff like "go find your father" or "ew furry" or anything negative like that. makes me angry and i want to appear in their house and commit crimes.

remember when i mentioned i was a therian? people have called me a furry so many times, even just for normal people things. i need my hands but also my pencil? hold it in my mouth. but im called a furry for that. somebody playfully bonks me and i go AAAA in a silly way, and im called a furry. that doesn't even make sense. now when it's actually more animalistic, just slightly, like catching yourself on all fours, your called a furry. like erm. excuse me. if i threw you down a flight of stairs and you catch yourself on all fours, does that mean i can point at you and call you a furry? no, because id go to jail for attempted murder.

lgbtq+. what did we do to you.

what did queers and furries ever do to you for you to hate them? did you grow up being taught we're bad? because if you did, we aren't. here's a clearer example, credits to cheezyfellow; if a tree falls on you, you can't resort to hating every single tree. it was just one, and none of the others did anything to you. that's like furries and queers. some furries are a little bit weird, a queer probably killed your family, but that doesn't mean all are bad!

i know the little mention of therians here. we're not too known, and the first thing that comes to anyone's mind when a human wants to be an animal, or is like an animal, is a furry. i dont understand the hatered. we didn't do anything.

enough of ranting about the hate. hi, furries, therians, queers, everybody! i love you guys /p, you are so welcome in this blog, if anyone bullies you for who you are, come into my askbox, give me their name and address, and we'll go give them a fate worse than death together. you guys are amazing- if you got this far, even if you aren't one of the three but support them, why don't you go take care of yourself? go get a drink of water, get some food, love yourself for who you are. people that don't support you guys can go explode. dont listen to them. you're supported, this blog is a safe place for you guys <3

Hello,

I apologize for reaching out like this and hope I’m not inconveniencing you. I’m a queer refugee from Uganda currently residing in the Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan, where I’ve been in exile for nearly five years due to life-threatening threats related to my sexual orientation.

I represent over 300 LGBTQ+ individuals who are in urgent need of support. Any small donation you can make would greatly aid our survival. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this message could help us reach someone who can.

Your support could make a significant difference in our lives.

Thank you for considering.

Please!! Share and help ifyou can!!

Personal Emergency: Broke Up With Girlfriend, Need to Build New Camp to Continue Community Service

July 24th 2024

After five years of dating and community service my girlfriend and I are no longer seeing eye to eye. What that means is that I and my community service projects are going to need a new home.

Additionally, in the summer heat I have been overworking and undereating and not taking enough care of myself. If I don't start giving myself the same care I provide to others there will be no one to operate these services.

I need $150 to start building a new community center and also $50 to help me take care of my personal needs.

My health has been deeply suffering. This has been one of the most difficult times I have ever faced in my life, please help if you can.

Cash app: $ThistleDD

Paypal: Paypal.me/ThistleDD

Everything you give either goes to restoring the community center project in a new place or helping me recover from malnutrition.

Thank you!

With my “Dad being supportive about me being trans” post blowing up, I figured I share him being supportive about my bi/pan/queerness.

I was like 16 when I came out to him. I remember being so anxious- I had never seen him be homophobic, but he was also an old Baptist Boomer from the Bible Belt, so I was nervous. Plus, at that time I was dating one of my best friends (we are both AFAB). So I came out and explained I was dating someone. I fumbled, struggling to get it out, and he just went, “It’s [REDACTED], isn’t it?”

He then explained that he kinda knew I was queer and was dating my best friend in secret, but he didn’t want to push me to come out before I was ready. He wanted me to do it on my own terms and just hoped I’d feel comfortable enough to share it with him.

Me being queer didn’t stop him from being an Embarrassing Dad tho, so it’s not uncommon for him to be like “I saw someone you’d find attractive today lol.” And either show me a picture if they were some celebrity/ athlete or describe them if it was just someone around town. The worst part honestly is that he’s always right. Please, I don’t want to be perceived like this by my father. You shouldn’t know My Type so well. I perish.

The closest he’s ever come to being homophobic is when he was teaching me how to drive and I made way too many, “But I’m too queer to go straight!!” Jokes.

"You're not even American. Why do you care about the elections?"🇺🇸🌎

Being a queer refugee, I understand how policies and decisions from places far away can impact lives globally, including mine. U.S. elections may seem distant, but the choices made can influence aid, human rights protections, and international support for LGBTIQ refugees. For many of us, decisions made in powerful nations create ripples that reach the camps we call home. So yes, I care about the elections—not just for what they mean to Americans, but for what they could mean for all of us fighting for survival and dignity.
