She/Her

i love this photo because at first you think that she was going to get married but instead her husband to be left her, or something like that. but actually its quite the opposite. i clicked on the source and it brought me to an article explaining the story behind this photo, and shes not crying, shes hungover. her and her husband went to a football game on their wedding day, and got extremely drunk and partied all night. they took the subway home because they couldn’t drive. so no, its not a sad heartbreaking story, its a crazy joyful one. which in my opinion makes the picture even more amazing.

CAN PEOPLE PLEASE REBLOG THE PIC WITH THIS CAPTION^ AND NOT THE ONE WHERE EVERYONE IS SAD AND ARE LIKE “POOR GIRL GOD BLESS”

The lack of boomer LGBTQ+ people isn’t because it’s “more popular now.” Many were murdered by their peers, died from government inaction during the AIDS crisis, committed suicide due to lack of social supports, or have had to live in the closet due to their peers’ cruelty.

“The men in white are the surviving members of the Original San Francisco Gay Men’s Choir. Those in black represent the members lost to AIDs. Remember this when people say the gay community survived the epidemic. We had to start over because we lost a whole generation.” (original post)

also the past was a very different world re: identity and openness

there may be plenty of LGBT boomers (and older people still) who grew up with a “don’t ask; don’t tell” mindset and thus aren’t OutTM to be recognized

Having lost my partner and many friends to this dreaded disease, I carry anger and depression in my heart for the years we were ignored.

Born in the late 40′s. It was dangerous to be anything but what people expected. You never came out. Then starting in the 70′s and 80′s, the devastating disaster of HIV, made slow, painful death and funerals all there was to life. No one cared. We are out here. Not really feeling that the danger has passed.

tony stark wielded the infinity gauntlet and didn’t even flinch from the pain. both hulk and thanos screamed like lil bitches when they put the glove on. but not my mans tony. nah bitch. he owned those stones. tony stark has the biggest dick energy in the entire mcu. iron man got an iron dick

y’all in the replies like “yeah but he died using them :/“ are missing the point. the point is that tony stark, human with zero superpowers, stole the stones right from thanos’ grasp and didn’t even scream in pain as the power surged through him before he even snapped his fingers.

hulk banner, a being on a similar power level as thanos, could hardly contain their power when he first slipped on the stark gauntlet and then passed out after snapping. even thanos himself yelled out in pain; 1. every time he added a stone to his gauntlet during infinity war 2. when he acquired the mind stone, completing the whole set at the end of infinity war and 3. when he stole the stark gauntlet from the heroes and put it on in endgame. and then there’s tony stark, human mortal in his early 50s, who put all six stones on at once and barely flinched at the pain.

the point isn’t “tony stark still died after using the stones”

it’s “tony stark’s iron will was so strong not even the raw power of six infinity stones surging through his mortal body could stop him from snapping”

You kind of have to take into account that Tony Stark’s pain tolerance is a LOT different to Thanos and the Hulk.

Both Thanos and the Hulk are physically tough, they don’t feel pain often. So when the stones hurt them they didn’t know how to handle it hence the screaming. They never learned how to take pain.

But Tony has been in extreme pain since 2008. The stones were just another source of suffering and something he could handle. He may not be as strong as them but pain was an old friend to him.

It’s a play on strength and endurance. Thanos and the Hulk are strong, but Tony had the endurance.

This makes me think about the whole “Stark men are made of iron” thing Howard’s always taught Tony. They shouldn’t flinch, they shouldn’t falter. And Tony didn’t. Up until the end, he was determined to do one last attempt at saving the ones he loved, even at the cost of his own life. And Tony didn’t falter at all even at the end. He didn’t flinch.

And I think that’s why his line “I am Iron Man” at the end holds even more weight. He looked Thanos straight in the eye and he handled it better than Thanos did.

Reblogging this again for the additions

this^ gif choice is even more perfect cause the moment immediately after looks like this:

yeah sure. crazy gay destiel sex be upon ye i guess happy pride

yeah sure. crazy gay

destiel sex be upon ye

i guess happy pride

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

ALL 👏🏾 OF 👏🏾 THEM 👏🏾

This post goes harder than any post has ever gone before.

the sheer amount of Fucks Not Given in these photos is creating a Black Hole Of Ungiven Fucks, sucking in all the bullshit over the Fuck You event horizon and trapping it so the bullshit can’t escape. It’s gorgeous. 

And this is how religious people should react when someone comes out to them

Re-blogging this from myself cause I wanted to add the most important part: before that first pic she acted like she was 100% on board with her granddaughter being gay while her granddaughter was there and I think that’s great. She had misgivings about it based on religion and upbringing but she cared enough about her granddaughter to not be an ass about it to her granddaughter. And all the above is after she’s out of the room. Who you are is not your gut reactions. It’s what you do with them.

i also wanna point out that when she says “god doesn’t make mistakes” she doesn’t say, “so elena can’t possibly be gay” she says it in the context that therefore if elena’s gay then god meant for her to be so i guess he doesn’t have a problem with it

Here's a 💐💐 for you! Hope you are doing well 😊 and if not, here's a big hug for you 🤗 Love you 💜

[video transcription:

people are in the backround screaming ‘trans kids are our kids’ and ‘get off my back’. they are on a court floor.

the first person yelling into a microphone behind a podium says-

“we have created an environment of hate, and then we look at them, like theres something wrong with them.

first you hated black people, then you hated jews, now you’re hating everybody! so the question is, when the only thing left is you, will you hate yourself?

power concedes nothing. this house is for the people, by the people, to serve the people, and you. won’t. listen. you go after everybody’s kids but your own. you make hate the way to go as long as its not applied to you.”

the speaker points to the protesters, who are still chanting and being arrested, and continues, “you have to ask the question why would they doing that? who are we to cause that? none of us said we would come here and hurt people, and yet you make trade and policy so your bills can be heard, you go against the people of this state!

this is a horrible, horrible sentiment. this feels horrible because it has nothing to do with the people.

and the last thing i’ll say is God bless you, because somebody’s got to atone. yes, yes, the gentleman in the back, somebody’s got to atone for not being who you’re supposed to be.”

she sits back down, and the camera pans to people, sitting in the audience, still chanting as theyre being arrested. they’re chanting “trans rights are under attack, what’ll we do, stay off our backs!”

a second person speaks into the microphone from behind a podium, “i’d like to know the details on this override because this bill don’t make a lick of sense.

i’ve heard supporters of this bill say that transgender people have a mental illness. you’re wrong. if that’s what you believe, what is your plan to help? all i see are attempts to deny them the help that their parents and their doctors and most importantly themselves say they need, and that is inhumane and cruel.

i’ve also heard that no one in kentucky with a monikum of expertise on this issue spoke in favor of this bill because they were scared. thats why we have all these out of state hucksters testifying for this bill, while hundreds of Kentuckians who appose the bill were in the room, in the hallways, in our offices, in this gallery! ill tell you whose scared! trans kids, and their parents, and the people who love them! who are about to have life-saving medical care ripped out from under them by an insanely out of touch legislator.

i’ve heard we need to stop genital mutilation. guess what, its not happening! you can stop worrying about it!

lastly, i’ve heard that kentuckians overwhelmingly support this. thats weird, because the only legitimate poll we have says kentuckians overwhelmingly oppose the legislature coming into their homes, coming into their families, coming into their doctor’s offices, saying what they can and can’t do with their children. they’re their kids, not yours! your parental rights stop at your doorstep, or worse, my doorstep. they don’t come into this capital!

i’ve got 500 friends here today in opposition. this is dangerous policy passed by poor process supported by junk science! we should not override this veto.”
