#Maybelle Blair

[lesbiandanhowell]

Every single one of you, no matter if you have watched A League of Their Own (2022) or not should watch this speech.

Abbi and Chanté beautifully highlighted the importance and impact of well done representation and how much it still matters. They talked so perfectly about the experience of community and fandoms and seeing your own experience and feelings mirrored. It is one of the best speeches I have ever seen (and it might make you cry).

Maybelle Blair with A League of Their Own co-creator Abbi Jacobson

In 2022, Blair publicly came out as a lesbian while promoting the TV series A League of Their Own, saying that prior to her time in the AAGPBL, “I thought I was the only one in the world… I hid for 75, 85 years and this is actually, basically, the first time I’ve ever come out.”

If D'Arcy has a Hoard of lesbians, does this means Abbi has a league of Bis? Does Melanie have a conference of Omnis? Does Priscila have party of Pans?

DOES PATRICK J. ADAMS HAVE A GROUP OF STRAIGHTS???

Openly LGBTQIA+ Celebrities

These are celebrities who have recently come out as LGBTQIA+ or whom I’ve recently learned about or whom I hadn’t mentioned in previous posts of this type. Needless to say, this list is highly arbitrary and incomplete.

Continuing the tradition from my old blog (which has been unceremoniously deleted by tumblr without much of an explanation why) I’m doing daily posts during June to celebrate LGBTQIA+ pride by showcasing openly LGBTQIA+ celebrities and various content about or created by LGBTQIA+ people such as music videos, characters on TV shows, movie trailers, …

I did a thing.

[moghedien]

ok Greta is going to New York. Lupe and Jess mentioned possibly going to New York.

So what should happen next season (not really but we’re playing) is Greta should be alone in New York for like a week or two before she just randomly runs into them and is like “hey what the fuck are you doing here” and they’re like “oh we’re taking Esti to see a show” and then pan over to Esti living her best Broadway life

And then after finding the three of them there then like every other Peach is just randomly found in New York over the next several days. Like Maybelle and all of her kids are just like in some random store or something and for some reason Shirley is with them. And then Ana and Terri are like idk just hanging out at wherever Greta is living currently and are like “oh (some other peach) invited us”, and Jo comes to visit unannounced and they’re all just like tormenting (affectionate) Greta with their unexpected presence and THEN Carson shows up but she is the last one and literally everyone else is already in New York with Greta and she’s like “ok wtf”

If I post everyday the same aloto 2022 tag, more people will start doing it to and it will get hyped again and amazon will be like: "they sure love the gay baseball show, we gotta call Abbi Jacobson and Will Graham and tell them to make season 2 more angst, fluff, gay and in the words of Kelly McComarck and Roberta Colindrez " more makeout", "definitely not pg13". Cardens Hoard of Lesbians are waiting for this"

Please don't take this seriously, I just want season 2 really bad
