DONATION MATCH! 🇵🇸

Please match my donation of ANYTHING to one or more of these vetted campaigns. PLEASE CAN WE START A DONATION MATCH CHAIN 🙏 I have little consistent income and can only at the moment afford to donate 10USD/5GBP to each campaign at a time, so we need everyone’s help to raise funds for these people who are suffering more than you and I can ever imagine. Although we have shared DMs, although I have read all of their lived experiences and felt pain in my heart, I can only ever try to understand their horrific situations. Anything you can spare, please contribute.

All the verification is on their respective accounts. Please help these people find some semblance of relief in the midst of this genocide.

Please remember that while you may think that £/$/€5 is so very little on its own from one person, if everyone were to contribute just that it would stack up exponentially. If twenty people give five, you can reach a hundred. Please do not let that deter you and do whatever you possibly can 🫶

“what’s your guilty pleasure?” queer coded eighties movies. next question

[wrongspacetime]

All right. I'm here because… I thought about it, and… you've been my person since we were, like, 30 running around like idiots. You know, we do things together. We do fun shit, boring shit, hard shit. I tried doing my own thing, but it just wasn't the same. The point is, we're getting old together. You know, we're getting old, and if you die… I wanna be the last person you see. Don't die. But if you do, I'll be right there with you.

Mildly annoyed by the sudden slew of posts complaining about queer coming of age stories without any self awareness over the fact that the poster is not the target audience. "I don't want to see another movie about a teenage boy discovering his sexuality and navigating his identity and experiencing high school romance" yes babe that's because those movies are targeted at 15 yead olds and you are 28.

“i miss playing with you” now at first i took this as him being a little shit and on the surface it was but this is actually him laying on his back buttnaked baring his belly to art. he misses him not just messing with him, playing tennis goofing around (friends/situationship?) he misses HIM. but art takes this at face value and patrick’s chronic smirk doesn’t help so🤷🏾‍♀️ (god these guys needed to get their shit together so bad)

30 Days of Classic Queer Hollywood

Day 28: James Dean (1931 - 1955)

"No, I am not a homosexual. But I'm also not going to go through life with one hand tied behind my back." - James Dean when asked about his sexuality

James "Jimmy" Dean was one of the most iconic actors of the 20th century. Despite only starring in 3 films (East of Eden (1955), Rebel Without a Cause (1955), and Giant (1956)), he is one of the most recognizable actors of his time.

This lasting fame is largely due to the fact that he died in a car crash in 1955 at the age of 24, just as he was reaching stardom. He became the only actor to receive two posthumous Academy Award nominations for Best Actor. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the 18th best male movie star of the Classic Hollywood.

James Dean was a bisexual man. He had relationships with many women, including model Pier Angeli and actresses Liz Sheridan, Barbara Glenn, Ursula Andress, and Beverly Wills. He reportedly had private liaisons with men including Marlon Brando, radio director Rogers Bracket, writer William Bast, and director Bob Stevens.

He was relatively open about this with his costars and coworkers. Nicholas Ray, the director of Rebel Without a Cause (1955), is on record as saying:

"James Dean was not straight, he was not gay, he was bisexual... Jimmy himself said more than once that he swung both ways, so why all the mystery or confusion?"

Is part of the division in the fandom about what kind of "queer media" people were consuming?

Because, being honest, this show is the most perfunctory and broadly appealing kind of queer media. It's not exactly challenging.

I was watching QAF, Undressed, and Tales of the City when I was younger. Skins too but only the first two seasons and I got bored. If I wanted "mainstream" rep it was Will and Grace or Brothers and Sisters (only the latter of which could be considered remotely challenging).

For movies it was Mysterious Skin, Shelter, Prayers for Bobby, and Brokeback (naturally).

As I got older I found good stuff like Eastsiders, Looking, IWTV, and for movies, In From the Side, the Normal Heart, and All of Us Strangers. More "mainstream" was Shameless, for Ian and Mickey.

I have serious doubts that there is any overlap between the media journeys of some queer fans, particularly queer men, and the media journeys of some slash fans.
