Today is Pride. I have dressed accordingly.
Now to make some caramel shortbread and attend a house party.
Not sure whether going to Pride tomorrow or not.
I have no one to march with. Think I might just drop into my friend’s Pride party tomorrow evening.
First time I haven’t attended Pride since my first time 6 years ago.

I am not too scared to post this. I am queer, Muslim, and proud. This was taken of me today marching in gay pride Toronto 2012 with QuAIA (Queers Against Israeli Apartheid).
I am not ashamed.
I LOVE everything about this photo. You’re one of my favourite people on here, and congratulations on coming out!
FACT: We are both “the girl” in the relationship. That’s kind of the point.

- Attitude Interviewer: What would you say is the gayest thing about you?
- Stephen Fry: Um, my preference for men and having sex with them rather than women in the end must be it.

gioia! mio tesoro!: Born This Way, and Reborn That Way: why are we, in both normative and queer cultures, so squeamish about phases?
In the LGB and sometimes T and Q world, there is a rhetoric of identity stasis: I’ve always been this way. I was born gay and I will always be gay. It’s an understandable reaction to the dismissive phrase so often lobbed at us from the normative world: it’s just a phase.

John Barrowman unhappy with ‘Torchwood’ sex scene complaints
“We kissed, we held each other, we lay on top of each other in bed… and there were lots of complaints about that… Nobody complained that I was shot in the head four times, there were burning people in ovens, that I was stabbed by a mob of 50 people hundreds of times and I was hanging dripping my blood in a pit.”
Ha, exactly what I was thinking when I first heard of the complaints. We live in a world where people get offended by two men showing love and affection for each other but are seemingly fine with two men hurting or killing each other. How fucked up is that?He makes some excellent points there, and that’s without adding just how relevant one of the sex scenes was, given that it started the chain of events that led to Miracle Day happening.
Sadly, all this logic and sense is lost on bigots and they will forever exist in their bubbles of anger and hate.

Homage to Tegan and Sara (and my terrible driving skills)
- Dad: Why are you indicating left when I told you to go right? GO RIGHT!
- Me: I can't tell the difference between left and right because I'm gay, OKAY?!
