Funny, miscellaneous pride-themed images that I collected from an old support page for queer Juggalos. The page is currently inactive, I hope all the admins are doing well these days.

This pride month, shout out to people like my mom, who, when gay marriage was much more in public debate when I was young, didn't necessarily believe gay marriage was God-ordained, but that the government shouldn't have a say in that. "What the government does does nothing to the sanctity of our beliefs. Separation of church and state"

Shout out to people like my dad, who don't understand the queer community, but acknowledge that he also doesn't want to take the position of telling someone else how to live, so just keeps it to himself. (I know he doesn't understand my bisexuality, but he assured me that all he wants is for me to be happy, healthy, and safe. So long as I've got that, he lets me live how I want)

Shout out to my Christian peers that I came out to. The boy in the praise band that said "I'm not sure where I fall on the scriptures, but I know that your journey is yours and you should be able to live your life." The Catholic friend that saw no difference between lusting after someone of the opposite or same gender, and praised my strength in the face of more struggles that came with my sexuality.

Every person that I knew from our Bible Belt town that didn't know the first thing about being a #Ally🌈, but didn't have to in order to treat their fellow humans with dignity. That when others were (and are) fear-mongering about how we needed to fight those depraved sinners, said "no, they're just people. What they do isn't hurting us or keeping us from practicing our beliefs. Leave them alone."

Shout out to the people that even amidst being in homophobic environments and communities and holding some possibly homophobic beliefs themselves, know how to live and let live, know that there's a line they won't cross and won't let people in their lives cross.

Before I even knew I could be Christian *and* queer, before I knew of the existence of affirming churches, y'all gave me the room to be. Y'all made space for me and showed me the love of Christ. Thank you.

Happy pride.

In celebration of Gay Pride Month, I am featuring some of my favorite Gay Icons profiled on this tumblr.

At the age of 8, Pedro Almodóvar’s family sent him to study at a catholic boarding school hoping he would become a priest. There was a movie theater there which he frequented. He later said, “Cinema became my real education, much more than the one I received from the priest.”

Almodóvar has been openly gay his entire adult life. At the age of 18, Pedro moved to Madrid and he flourished in Madrid’s alternative cultural scene that blossomed after the death of Spain’s dictator Francisco Franco in 1975.

Initially he made silent cult films but by the 1980s his films became popular in international Art Houses. Today, his award winning films helped to make Antonio Banderas, Penélope Cruz, and Javier Bardem to become major international stars.

But humanity is inherently inhumane.

Art By Glory Anna Lost In Trans_Lation “The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own.” How I longed to embrace the woman on the other side of me: Marty Nelson. As it states on my birth certificate, at least, but I am Madeline. That is who I am, heart and soul. I thought the day I lifted my head to the heavens and sang out “she is me” proudly, with my bright red lipstick painted on, would…

If June in San Francisco's as good as it gets, I can live with that.

Since it’s Gay Pride Month, I thought I’d highlight some notable people I’ve profiles here at Gay Icons.

Like many actors, Wentworth Miller was reluctant to publicly come out as Gay because he was concerned it would limit his career. In 2013, Miller was invited to attend Saint Petersburg International Film Festival to represent this film “Stoker” (which he wrote). Instead, he used this moment come out of the closet and protest the treatments of Gay People in Russia. In an open letter on the GLAAD website:

“I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.”
