“Coming out is so square. I knew I was gay the moment I saw Elvis Presley.” - John Waters

“I don’t understand why gay people want to be like everybody else. To me we were outlaws. We used our wit for fighting words, you know. ‘Act up! Act bad!’ I want it!”

Hero hero hero hero.

The look of shock on her face is incredible. Elijah is brave little man, and I commend him.

This is outstanding.

STAND WITH BRENDA | Brenda Namigadde, a Ugandan lesbian in the UK, faces deportation TOMORROW back to the life-threatening persecution she fled eight years ago.

fuckyeahgenderstudies:

We just found out that one of the leading figures in the LGBT movement in Uganda, David Kato, was murdered yesterday in his home. This awful tragedy makes clear what’s at stake for Brenda if she is forced to return.

Will you join more than 10,000 people in 85 countries and sign this urgent letter pressuring U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May to stop Brenda’s deportation?

It takes a minute, folks. Please sign and reblog.

Read this and voice your objection to her deportation.

Watch: The New Pornographers Perform for “It Gets Better”

The Dan Savage-led “It Gets Better” Project has undoubtedly been one of the most uplifting and praiseworthy movements of 2010, recruiting an ongoing roster of potential role models that range from the president to Hollywood A-listers to Lady Gaga and many more to reach out and share their wisdom in the fight against teen suicide. Now the New Pornographers have filmed an exclusive performance of the apropos Challengers cut “Adventures in Solitude” for The New Gay at NYC’s Terminal 5. Watch their heartfelt rendition for this excellent cause above.

We thought we’d lost you.  We thought we’d lost you.  Well.  Welcome back.

Hasn’t John Waters said that all the best looking people go to riots and protests?  So it’s no wonder that:

A.  He’d attend the Protest the Pope rally in London on Saturday the 18th along with thousands of other people.

B.  He’d appear alongside one of the best signs.

Jesus!  All the best gays were at that rally!

Christine O’Donnell’s Gay Former Aide Speaks Out - The Daily Beast

Richards finally came out in an article in The Advocate in 2000. After that, he says, O’Donnell “totally turned her back on me. I never heard from her ever again. That’s been my experience with the Christian community in general. The minute I was struggling and saying, ‘Hey, listen, I don’t know really where I am with this,’ that’s when everyone really turned their back on me.”

Interesting, unsurprising article.

This is a picture of Sir Ian McKellen at a gay-rights march in UK that has been timed with the Pope’s visit.

Sometimes the world can be a really extraordinary place.

(via projectqueer) Everybody should watch this. If you want to be inspired to tears right now, this is a must see.

This is the future.  Not just tolerance but absolute acceptance.  Sometimes all it takes is singing and the bad guys have to go away.
