Horrible personified.

George Takei responds to “traditional” marriage fans. 

George Takei is flawfree.

I live a George Takei adoration life

I lost it at the “Please tell me where this island of men is, thanks.”

ALWAYS REBLOG  because it’s okay to be Takei!

Sulu?

Pier Kids: The Life is a documentary film about the Black street culture which thrives on Christopher Street and its piers

At the age of sixteen, I was pushed out of my mother’s home because of my sexual orientation and was subsequently forced to live on the streets of New York. I was lucky though. On my first night, I happened upon a group of black gay men and I followed them to the piers at the edge of the West Village. Little did I know that I had found my spiritual home.

Today, white upper-class families make the West Village their home; but as day turns to night, Christopher Street and its adjacent piers also become home to a transient yet vibrant street community known as the Pier Kids. Forming a significant yet invisible network, the Pier Kids are a queer and transgender community of predominately Black and Latino descent representing nearly four thousand of New York City’s sixteen thousand registered homeless youth. Left to wander and with few economic opportunities, the lives of these social refugees are beset with limited and harrowing options as money and food are everyday struggles. Through it all – or, perhaps, because of it all – hope still exists in the shadows of their neglect and abandonment.

Pier Kids: The Life follows the stories of three young people:

DeSean has been homeless for the past four years but considers the piers his “playground, office, [and] living room”;

Krystal arrived in the West Village after she spent years searching for a place she could finally be herself—a beautiful black transgender woman;

and Casper made Christopher Street his home away from home and in doing so found a safe haven away from the homophobic glare of his black community’s scornful gaze.

Together, these three people weave a surprisingly complex story of love, family, exploitation, and hope. But it’s more than the story of three. It’s the story of thousands.

Funding ends 2/12/13.

The creators of Pier Kids canceled their original fundraiser after they only raised around $1000 of their $30,000 goal. I know why most of you aren’t paying attention to this: it’s a movie about queer and trans people of color, most of whom are homeless, but this only got 100 notes in almost a year.

Seriously. What the fuck? Does it really take a bunch of mainstream people and sites to pick this up before you pay attention? Why can’t something like this, made by us about us, get more attention from us??

theyre just over halfway there!

Eminem is like the most homophobic misogynistic piece of trash ever and white people never bring him up in those "omg hip hop is so homophobic/misogynistic" essays they always write 

Samantha Bee for President.

Always reblog.

Today in drama, we had two boys act as a gay couple, and this one homophobic kid in my class gets up, and he’s like “i’m going to shove that homosexuality up your ass!” and one of the boys acting gay turns to him, looks him dead in the eye and asks “isn’t that the point?”

Why don't we register ppl convicted of hate crimes

I want to know if a dangerous racist/homophobe lives near my kids schools

Sexism too please.

i can never not reblog this. 

When Peter Pan tells you to grow up you’ve surely got a serious problem.

Let’s also give a shout out to that awesome parent who let their son dress however he wanted. 

reblogging again

Now that is how you tell someone to grow up.

When you’re Peter-Fucking-Pan.

go tell’em, Pete!

Feels this way sometimes, doesn’t it? 

Hi. I’m Adam. And this is my friend Chase. I’m an Independent who supports Barack Obama for President. Chase is an Independent who has long supported Mitt Romney for President of the United States since 2007.

Today, the two of us decided to attend the Mitt Romney rally at Landmark Aviation in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We parked in a lot 4 miles away from the event site where all those attending were then shuttled to the actual site. Upon arriving to the site, we got in a line and were greeted with friendly smiles… We then had our tickets swiped, went through security, and then both went to the restrooms before heading in to the building to stand and await the speech. I was the first to exit the restroom and stood to wait for Chase. As soon as he exited we began to head to the plane hangar where the event was taking place.

Two officers and one suited man (secret service) then approached us and said with a smile, “You need to leave.” My first thought was that we were getting in the way of an important Congressman coming through, or even the candidate himself… so we walked a bit to the side. He then repeated that we needed to head to the exit and leave. They began to grow tighter around us. I said, “Excuse me?” He repeated again, “You need to leave.” Chase than said, “I’m confused, I’m a supporter of Mitt Romney… we have tickets?” … Another officer chimed in, “You need to leave.” I then asked, “Why?” … “What is the reason?” The officer then said, “You either need to leave now or we will be forced to arrest you.” … “BUT WHY?” … “Head to the front now.”…No one else was asked to leave. Just us.

We left. Got back on a bus alone. And drove back to Iowa City. I’m in a state of utter confusion. I’ve been to so many Republican rallies in the last 5 years. I’ve always been courteous. I’ve never heckled. Besides some speeding tickets, I’m a law abiding citizen. I’ve greeted Mitt Romney in Muscatine, Iowa and had my picture taken with him as well as with Santorum, Perry, Bachmann, Ron Paul, John McCain, etc. I attended a Santorum rally in which anyone could ask a question… I did… it had to do with gay marriage… he answered it live on CNN. I met him afterwards where he instantly recognized who I was and thanked me for coming to the event.

Mr. Romney- I may not support you… but my friend HAS and DID for the last 5 years… yet, we weren’t allowed to attend? Why? Answer me that. WHY? Was it because we are gay or looked too flamboyant for your rally? What is it? Its not a surprise to me that you would treat someone this way… but it certainly came as a surprise to one of your ardent supporters. He now sees who you truly are. The guy who likes to take away rights and silence minorities. 

I’m baffled. I’m embarrassed. I’m sad.

Can anyone enlighten me? 

Please SHARE this. This may be minuscule to you… but it shows a story to a bigger picture of who this man really is. 

I just want to know WHY?

[Original Post]

This is a story from one of my personal friends on facebook. I felt that Tumblr is the place where this story really could be spread so people know the truth about the Romney campaign.

Please, please reblog this and let my friend Adam’s story be heard. 

Wow. The fact that this man could be President in this day and age is baffling. 

“You Can’t Be a Princess” | Journalists from ABC’s “What Would You Do?” planted hidden cameras in a Halloween store and filmed shoppers’ reactions to a boy who wanted a princess costume and a girl who wanted a Spiderman costume.

be sure to watch the video. very telling, unfortunately.

Conforming to the non-existent gender binary with femme-phobia. Yay. I hate people sometimes but the ending to that clip was really nice so my compassion for humanity has been restored.

i told this girl she smelled nice today and she’s like

“sorry i’m not gay”

bitch i said you smelled nice not i want to lick your pussy

October 19 is Spirit Day. Help raise awareness of the challenges faced by LGBT youth by sharing this infographic!

Bullying people who are LGBTQ isn’t cool—it’s harmful.

Will you wear purple on Spirit Day?

These are posters from the Backbone Zone, here is a little from their website about the program: 

The “this is a hoe” one, is amazing and important and utterly necessary.

People have this assumption that someone coveting a thing (oh wait, no- a human), that you perceive as belonging to you, gives you to license treat them as less than a human being.

When I originally posted a similar sentiment here I got scores of emails from girls stating for the most part “Well no no no, you missed the point of it entirely. He’s talking about how if a girl likes or hooks up with your boyfriend, then she’s a slut. So the video is okay and you’re wrong.”

Yes, because two consensual adults violating your trust, or someone having the audacity to like something you like automatically means it’s okay to degrade them.

No.

We all need to do our part to not perpetuate a negative environment and be more responsive less reactive. Uncomfortable with someone’s interest in your partner? Tell your partner, be true to yourself, your situation and your own feelings or insecurity.

If you are feeling insecure because your partner might share an interest in them, approach it. If you feel the person interested in your partner is crossing a boundary- Tell them in a manner that they will receive and can empathize with. That means honestly, openly, without name calling, passive aggression and yes, sometimes, without feeling.

Realize that in truth, the person that you are with is an attractive individual who chooses to associate with you, and if that’s too much for you to handle (the fact that others find them attractive), it’s time to take a hard look at where you are speaking from. It’s time to work on self, truth and where your own insecurities lie.

Someone likes your partner and no one is crossing any boundaries on either end? Remember all the reasons why your partner is an attractive, desirable human being and that yes, you too are equally desirable and attractive.

If it were you who were the subject of interest to someone (and I’m sure you are, will be or have been) would you appreciate your partner implying you have some sort of control over their interest? Or furthermore, that someone elses interest in you makes them sub-human?

Think about the implications.

I find this shit more femme-phobic than anything else. People need to grow up 'cause when they do, they'll realize how much of a stupid shitbag they sound like.

One of the BEST ad campaigns about representation I have seen.

Everyone has a backbone. Use yours.

They seriously need one for 'pussy'; keep on hearing that sexist shit.

Romney doesn't actually care about women, pass it on.

Oh god, not this again. Really? Really?

Just going to ignore the speech he just made? Completely?

Obama says he cares you believe him, Romney says it NO WAY

Somebody give me solid proof that Romney has actually ever cared about women.

Give me solid proof that Obama does. The fair pay bill and other things? He was president for 4 years. Romney also talks about women’s rights. How do you know he won’t do the same? You have no proof either. So just stop slamming the guys. Both of them.

WELL WE CAN START WITH THE FACT THAT OBAMA HASN’T BEEN ADVOCATING FOR OVERTURNING ROE v WADE OR GETTING RID OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD OR IGNORING WOMEN’S ISSUES UP UNTIL LIKE JUST NOW OR ASSUMING EVERY WOMAN NEEDS FLEXIBILITY IN HER WORKSPACE BECAUSE SHE NEEDS TO FEED HER KIDS OR SLAMMING SINGLE-PARENT HOMES OR LIMITING WOMEN’S ACCESS TO BIRTH CONTROL AND CONTRACEPTIVES seriously, person

@sillylaureate: Really? Are you fucking high? If a person who’s notorious for being homophobic says they aren’t homophobic, are you seriously going to believe them? If they genuinely turned a new leaf, people would know. Romney doesn’t give half a rat’s ass about women and has never indicated that he will. He uses female-empowering rhetoric to back up his claim but there is not citation that helps him with his case. (not to mention, he also happens to be notorious for being a homophobic bigot).
