The Glamorous World of LA’s Vanished Queer Underground

Reynaldo Rivera’s photographs of trans women, drag artists, and Latinx scenesters are a thrilling account of 1990s-era nightlife.

I will never get over how inherently tied to the lgbtq community Crowley's canonical music tastes are. Both Queen and Velvet Underground had visibly queer leads who weren't afraid to step out of typical societal gender presentation. Not to mention that Lou Reed openly dated trans folks. You can pry Crowley's queerness from my cold dead hands.

the funniest part of my experience with the severe LACK of spoilers in the disco elysium fandom (because everyones too busy talking about how gay harry and kim are and are for eachother) is the fact that until very recently i thought the “homo-sexual underground” was just a fanmade aspect of the game

unless are the screencaps im seeing are ALSO fanmade. no it happens

im only on day 2 of disco what the fuck is going on

It feels actually insane to be alive and also involved in fandom right now. The world we live in is getting infinitely shittier with the looming threat of even more terrible things on the horizon, but you'd never know it in the fandom world because there is SO MUCH to look forward to.

Your favorite shows have begun filming the new season! Your favorite character has a very good chance of being revealed as queer! Your favorite fanon couple actually has a good shot at being canon endgame! Long-standing mysteries may finally get answered! Bonus material has been filmed and may be released!

My one fear is that the real world getting shittier could bleed into the fandom space and prevent our joys, leading to cancellations and rewrites and removal from streaming, effectively undoing all the progress we've seen.

Still, I remain hopeful that we can keep this momentum. There is a window of opportunity right now for stories that couldn't be told in the past, and we must continue to uplift them!

Also, we all need to commit to physical media and bootlegging copjes where they don't exist. We need to preserve our shows when they air, lest they become lost media under future oppressive regimes.

Have scanned “Sapphowoman and the Greater Belfast Dykes” and uploaded to the internet archive.Published in 1989 and features some funny characters and elements of living in Belfast during The Troubles.Has very dated language but an interesting read.
