Harry Hay

Harry Hay was the founder of the Mattachine society, an activist group of gay men. He was raised in Chile and California, and was both gay and a marxist. (Because I think Tumblr will be equally excited about both of those facts.)

When Harry Hay started the Mattachine society, he faced significant backlash. His wife divorced him on grounds of cruelty (No-fault divorces did not exist) and he himself went to the communist party and recommended that they expel him to give their own movement more credibility. They did this, but declared him a lifelong friend of the people.

Harry Hay perceived of homosexuals as their own cultural minority, rather than heterosexuals that needed to be fixed. It was under this premise that he started his activism, drawing ideas both from the communist principles and the ideas of other brotherhoods such as the freemasons. He was a very important person for american same-sex legalization and we continue to enjoy the fruits of his labor today.

Hi! I was curious about the history of the word fairy as a queer slur, and I got the impression that that's the kind if thing you'd love to ramble about. If I'm wrong, that's fine, I can do my own research, but I wanted to ask you first

oh FUCK yes!! funnily enough I don't actually know much about the history of this particular slur other than that it seems to have been used most commonly towards particularly effeminate of flamboyant gay men. So YOU, lovely anon, have given us the opportunity to do something we love- research!

According to the wiktionary page for the word fairy in general, homophobic uses of the term were/are most common in the US and Northern England, and lists a few instances of its use as such in literature from the 1930s, 50s, and 80s. I also came across this fabulous tiktok on the terms history, which mentioned the term being used as early as 1895, in a section of the American Journal of Psychology discussing "inverts" (a common term for gay men at the time). The video also discusses how the term started falling out of fashion once the community started to reclaim the term, particularly thanks to the work of Harry Hay, who cofounded a counterculture movement called Radical Faeries in the late 70s

Harry & Zayn's rumours of doing shows in México next year.

The account that has inside info of future shows in México said this about Harry and Zayn.

This account has previously spoiled a lot of shows in México that haven't been announced yet and they are always right. Is still a rumour but is something to keep an eye on. x

James actually referred to him and Ste as the love of each other lives like what about Harry and Brendan.

[meljwrites]

What what which of Leah and Lucas step dads have died. I remember Harry but who else was there?

It's Harry (ex-husband of Ste) who was murdered in 2019, Doug (ex-husband/boyfriend (?) of Ste) who died because of an explosion in 2013, and Ryan (Amy's husband and killer) who drowned in 2018

also I know you didn't ask but here is my diagram of pain

If you look at it like this its kind of obvious to me that JP seems like the best step dad tbh but I havent watched their storyline so what do i know - it would be very cute if the first soap gay marriage was endgame

and yes that diagram was only half of the relationships/the crossovers and harry and james should say fiances, i think.
