Graphic journalist Dan Archer recently spoke with several community members in Baltimore about the unrest there since Freddie Gray’s death. All drawings were done live while people told their stories and shared their thoughts. Archer visited Gray’s neighborhood of Sandtown and nearby areas, retracing Gray’s final steps before being taken into custody.

People can show affection without it being romantic. I can care and love deeply without the intent of making you fall in love with me. Everyone needs love and everyone needs to feel safe and secure and needed. I believe in platonic intimacy, I believe in the depth of true friendship.

platonic affection is real and it is needed. Send some back maybe? (Via-child-anything-can-be)

YES THIS PLEASE

^Accurate. 

i don’t know if straight people are fully aware of this, but literally the only, the only, function of including “allies” is to provide a cover for those LGBTQ+ people who are not out. that is it. that the purpose of “allies.” if you see “allies included!” or anything like that, the message is inclusion of those who, for whatever reason, cannot be out. it is not for straight people.

^ “Homosexual” is an extremely outdated term. I agree that this person is being exclusionary, but please be an educated ally and use appropriate language.

If all allies are queer, then that “cover” becomes pointless...especially if you’re blatantly pointing it out. You’re also totally ignoring the historical context of what you’re saying...for the longest time people who were allies were afraid to associate with LGBTQ+ community in fear of being labeled queer themselves. There are lots of allies who suck at being allies and I understand your animosity to having straight people in gay spaces, but the movement couldn’t have gone anywhere without allies and the reason we put “allies included” is to let good allies know that they aren’t invading a queer space if they show up to show support. I agree that it can also serve as a cover for questioning or closeted queers, but please don’t shun all straight allies just cause you’re bitter about bad straight allies.

"I was very aware of the fact that I was showing my body. I was 195 pounds when I gave birth. I lost 65 pounds. I worked crazily to get my body back. I wanted to show that you can have a child and you can work hard and you can have your body back… You could have your child and you can still have fun and still be sexy and still have dreams and still live for yourself. I don’t have any shame about being sexual. I’m not embarrassed about it and I don’t feel like I have to protect that side of me."
