not only do i support lil nas x appropriating characters and symbols from christianity to make horny, campy gay hip-hop videos, i think this sets the bar for lgbt media in the future. fuck that "were just like you!" respectability shit. i need all gay artists to make their work exactly as hostile and disrespectful to the christian right as the christian right has been to gay people for all of its history.
out of all the human achievements i would say lip gloss is #2. 1 is frozen dessert.
obsessed with morpheus and lucifer just turning around and being in their leather kink gear -
i mean uh. battle gear. battle.
every time i have a thought i go into a spiral???

The Unstoppable & Electrifying, One and Only:
CHAKA KHAN!
Listen: Every Woman
look i call myself queer for a couple of reasons, not all immediately obvious to the "queer is a slur" crowd.
like there's the immediate implication of this does not require me to explain my labels to you, but also the secondary implication of my existence as a radical statement. when queer people started calling themselves queer, it was an act of public defiance and rebellion.
queer says I don't need to justify myself to you or anyone, queer says I exist and I won't shut up about it, queer says we are a community and you cannot draw arbitrary dividing lines between us. queer is a good word for queer people.
when I find people who call themselves queer, I know they are the ones who won't try to say anyone doesn't belong in our community, that they will defend gay rights with trans rights, that they will stand up against the oppression that we all face, even if it doesn't affect them directly.
so yeah, i love being queer, calling myself queer, talking about the queer community, queer studies and queer theory and queer history. and I'm not going to stop because some of you think it's a slur.
