happy pride month to religious queer people, who feel like they’re contradictions, or told that they’re contradictions, but stay true to these important parts of themselves anyway. happy pride to the queer religious people who have to explain their identities, and who have to defend their faith or their queerness in either circle.

i love you, i am one of you, thank you for being in this community with me.

pride month is about to start, so lemme say something real quickly: happy pride to all the queer Jews out there who might feel left out of their communities (this goes for the queer and the Jewish communities) and also that Hashem loves you as you are and you don’t need to ever hate yourself for being different or convince yourself that you need changing!! 🩷 (and for the queer Jews who don’t believe in g-d, I just hope you have a good month!!)

Honestly, as someone asexual and probably some flavor of aro goy myself, im so sorry to all the asexual and aromantic jewish folks who has to deal with the biggest ace and aro blogs not shutting up about palestine and everything, especially fuckyeahasexual, who has taken ZERO steps in caring for jewish aces and has been INCREDIBLY antisemetic going as far as to yell at people who so much as donate to ao3 instead of gaza, accuse israel of being the main perpetrator of october seventh, spreading intense amounts of blood libel, and more.

It is utterly heartbreaking to see a blog that was once a safe spot for rallying around a shared identity turn so bitter and cruel and actively damaging. You all deserved a safer place to celebrate your asexual and aromantic orientations, and to not be shamed for simply existing, you arent a traitor, or a monster, or anything like that.

Jewish aces and aros are as valid in your identities as any other ace or aro, and im so sorry that so few aces and aros seemed to have learned from the coordinated attacks on our identity/right to exist, and proceed to do the same bullshit to you. I'm sorry for the utter failure of the queer community for jewish queers just in general. It's disgusting, its horrific, and you deserve so much more then just this one ace's apologies

You can't quote the "God made me transsexual" quote from Julian K. Jarboe and then in the next breath be antisemitic. That quote comes from the teachings of Rabbi Akiva, it's a *Jewish* quote, and the way it's thoughtlessly parroted by antisemitic queer goyim is yet another example of how the modern queer movement benefits from Jewish activism and voices and teachings while simultaneously excluding and demonizing us. You can't have it both ways. You can't use Judaism for your own self-validation while not cherishing Jews.

because i'm curious:

Did I ever post pictures of all the pride flag variant kippot? I started of making the custom flags so I could get pictures and there were SO MANY and I LOVE that for us. Yes, we all stand under the rainbow, yes all non-cis genders are included under the trans pride flag, but also! It! Is! So! Good! To be seen for who you are and to have a way to identify people whose lived experience is close to your own. That's so good! It's so validating!

So here is my gallery of colors:

WAIT I HAVE TOO MANY.

But Ruth replied, “Do not urge me to leave you, to turn back and not follow you. For wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God.

Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus and more may the LORD do to me if anything but death parts me from you.”

My first art centered around Judaism since I started my conversion process ahhh fuck I hope I got the Hebrew right, I'm still not too familiar with the alphabet so it moves around on me lmfao

but as a convert ofc Ruth is important and her story is fascinating to me; if anyone has recommendations on JEWISH resources about her would love to read

also ig christians can reblog this but lmfao idk what you could get out of it

Personally I like the interpretations of them being romantic but I tried to leave the art up for interpretation in general however you see them

Happy pride & שבת שלום

[chelledoggo]

there's too much animosity towards queer people who want to practice their faith/spirituality, both within their respective religions and within the LGBTQIA+ community.

we need to protect and lift up our queer siblings of faith.

our queer Christians.

our queer Jews.

our queer Muslims.

our queer Hindus.

our queer Buddhists.

our queer Sikhs.

our queer Baháʼís.

our queer Wiccans/Pagans.

our queer Shintos.

our queer siblings of indigenous/folk faiths.

our queer SBNR siblings.

our queer siblings of whatever religion/spiritual systems they observe.

you're all beautiful and valid and loved and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 💖

[girlwithsword]

I'm going to keep being SO JEWISH, and SO QUEER, and SO SO KIND and I'm going to do that /loudly/ for the rest of my life.

"We need more diverse queer representation!"

You cannot even handle queer jews.

Wishing Pride to all the Queer Jewish folks who have been fighting antisemitism for months now.

Wishing Pride to the Queer Jewish folks who are scared. Who don't know if they want to bring the pride flag the Star of David with them to their local events.

Wishing Pride passes with safety for you and your loved ones.

I love you. I see you. I am sorry so many seek to prescute you. You are supported here and loved.
