Discovering LGBTQ History (@lgbtqarchives)
From the desk of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration comes STONEWALL@NARA. @lgbtqarchives is a repository for documents reflecting the history of American LGBTQ+ people from 1778 to now. Some of it is inspiring, much of it is harrowing, all of it tells a story.
Queer Portraits in History (@queersinhistory)
Illustrator Michele Rosenthal (@dialmformichele) is using her artistic talent to honor prominent figures in the LGBTQ+ community. That little circle above showcases the Mother of Blues, Ma Rainey. She recorded over 100 albums in a mere five years. In one song, Prove it On Me, she made it clear she wasn’t ashamed of who she was: “Went out last night with a crowd of my friends / They must’ve been women, ‘cause I don’t like no men.” Considering it was recorded in 1928, it was a particularly bold statement.
Gay Writes (@gaywrites)
Staying informed in this political climate is becoming increasingly important. Let this Tumblr be a gentle guide through those rough waters. It’s a living compendium of U.S.-centric LGBTQ+ news, media, and culture. Keep yourself abreast of the latest news without ever leaving your dashboard.
The Gran Varones (@thegranvarones)
This legacy project uses storytelling to signal boost the voices of a community that needs it: Latino and Afro-Latino gay, queer, and trans men. It sheds light on individuals whose sexuality and ethnicity often means they are facing a disproportionate amount of scrutiny. These stories are uplifting, they’re normalizing, and they’re so needed.
365 Days of Lesbians (@365daysoflesbians)
Come next Leap Year, they’ll have to temporarily change their name to 366 Days of Lesbians. For now, enjoy this wonderful blog that presents you with a photo and biographical write-up of one self-identifying lesbian (or activist group, as pictured above) every dang day of the year.
Unless you're into that kinda thing, and that might be why you're kid became a pornstar
Parents with kids who are pornstars must be horrified when they surf Pornhub and come across one of their kids’ clips.
So I just wanted to show what my profile picture is. And I actually did this in during my senior year in high school on a Friday. And I'll admit it was kind of hard to choose the colors for the sun, because half of the markers I was using were dried out 😅, so I couldn't really do the sun or the stars the way I wanted or do any shading lol. But I believe I did a pretty good job with what I did had 😊.
I feel like the people who say "I don't like __ because it's got so popular" are always the people who like the most well known shows ever.
Like Batman is so well known and popular but no one ever says "I don't like Batman because he's too popular" it's always just pop singers/shows aimed at young girls
