Non-Jews really like to ignore that Magnus Hirschfeld was Jewish

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

It's funny how things change. Not even a year ago I was devastated because I wouldn't be able to go to my local Pride march, out of fear for my safety. Now, when I think about Pride, I honestly don't even want to go. Even if it was safe, how can I march alongside people who want me dead? People who I know can be so heartless and cruel?

I'm not going to Pride because they don't deserve my forgiveness. Their advocacy doesn't include me and they made that very clear.

because i'm curious:

[hachama]

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.

Happy pride & שבת שלום

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. 💖

[goldenangelbaby]

There is something so beautiful about queer Catholics and even queer people in any religion who are so devout despite people telling us we are a sin and damned. And yet, we still worship. And yet. And yet. And yet.

[undergiants]

@ all the religious queers who follow me (or don't lol), y'all should reblog this with what your favorite part of your religion is. it could be a particular ritual, an item, a belief within it, an experience you had, anything!

we should share some good against all the bad that we get <3

[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.
