A little queer blog to brighten your day :)

Gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world. They are all ages, all races, all faiths. They are doctors and teachers, farmers and bankers, soldiers and athletes. And whether we know it, or whether we acknowledge it, they are our family, our friends, and our neighbors. Being gay is not a western invention. It is a human reality.

I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. ~Benjamin Harrison
LGBTQ* Memorial Day/Vintage Soldiers Appreciation Post
Memorial Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the last Monday in May. It originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the war. The South had a remembrance day (also in May) but the day was not celebrated jointly until the beginning of the 20th century. Formally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day has become a day to remember all those who have served and fallen during a time of war.

LGBTQ* Intersex Documentaries You Should Keep On Your Radar
INTERSEXION
(Following text from the documentary’s website:)
The first question any new parent asks… “Is it a boy or a girl?”
What if it’s neither?1 in 2,000 babies is born with genitalia so ambiguous that the doctors cannot easily answer this question.
In this groundbreaking documentary, intersex individuals reveal the secrets of their unconventional lives – and how they have navigated their way through this strictly male/female world, when they fit somewhere in between.

A group of Christians showed up at a Chicago gay pride parade in July.
They were holding up signs saying “I’m sorry that Christians judge you”
“I’m sorry for how the churches treated you” and “I used to be a bible-banging homophobe, I’m sorry”
This isn’t what I normally post, but it’s too beautiful to pass up.
I wish so much that I could have been a part of this. Bravo.
Quality moment is quality.
FOREVER REBLOG
Have some different, quite higher quality.
Okay, listen up, allies.
THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.
You take responsibility for your fuck-ups. You acknowledge that people with beliefs like yours, and who are similar to you, have hurt us a great deal. You realize that it isn’t about you.
No, I don’t expect all of you to go to pride marches. But I do hope that if you want to be an ally, you’ll actually be one.
