Cora Latz and Etta Perkins were a lesbian couple who met in 1972 and were together until Perkins’ death in 1998. In 1973, they held a commitment ceremony; in 1998, they privately renewed their vows with the staff who cared for them at the Jewish Home for the Aged.
i don’t know what other queer folks might need to hear this, but your sexual desire for someone doesn’t contaminate your love for them and it doesn’t mean you don’t respect them or see them as a complete person. and you wouldn’t be better or purer if you could love without wanting them in that way also. queer sexuality is not a contaminant that ruins queer love.
This post is about fuckin specifically!!!!
I have never felt so called out about a problem I didnt realize was a problem
If there’s anything I want anyone to know about bisexual and nonbinary identities, it is that ambiguity is good. We don’t need the exact nuances of our identities to be encapsulated within the label we choose. If you take a hundred nonbinary people or a hundred bi people, they are going to have as many differences as they do similarities and that isnt a flaw: it’s a strength. The diversity within our communities is amazing and it is amazing that a label can remain useful for so many people despite how different we all are.
thinking about how klingon courting works by the female roaring and throwing heavy objects and the male reading love poetry
gay klingons:
lesbian klingons:
Do gay Klingons ever get frustrated/dejected because their gentleman caller hasn’t so much as kicked a pebble their way or uttered the slightest growl?
Do questioning Klingons ever show their crush their poetry, only to have their crush assume that he’s helping them proofread or something?
Is there ever an issue where a lesbian Klingon tries very awkwardly to recite poetry to her lady love?
Or instances where two lesbians are basically beating the shit out of each other and both thinking “I know she thinks this is just a regular old gal fight, but no, seriously, I’m trying to declare my intentions here”?
Are there euphemisms for LGBT Klingons? “Don’t try to win her over, Riker. She reads poetry.”
gay sex and trans people having sex, gay sexual attraction, trans people’s sexual desire, are all things that should be actively celebrated. after g-d knows how many years of our relationship with sex being treated as disgusting or lesser, being outright criminalized, being watered down or looked over or oversexualized ( like - people who will say they support gay marriage but still think gay people shouldn’t kiss in public or that there shouldn’t be trans shirtless models despite not holding those same standards for cishet people ) gay sex or being proud of your sexuality is an act of revolution and to treat it as something derogatory or shameful or even an active axis of oppression is frankly just kind of outright homophobic
