ill put up the text in a minute but: this shirts good
the text is from “queers read this” a leaflet anonymously published and distributed nyc, june 1990. the excerpt reads:
AN ARMY OF LOVERS CANNOT LOSE Being queer is not about a right to privacy; it is about the freedom to be public, to just be who we are. It means everyday fighting oppression; homophobia, racism, misogyny, the bigotry of religious hypocrites and our own self-hatred. (We have been carefully taught to hate ourselves.) And now of course it means fighting a virus as well, and all those homo-haters who are using AIDS to wipe us off the face of the earth.
Being queer means leading a different sort of life. It’s not about the mainstream, profit-margins, patriotism, patriarchy or being assimilated. It’s not about executive directors, privilege and elitism. It’s about being on the margins, defining ourselves; it’s about gender fuck and secrets, what’s beneath the belt and deep inside the heart; it’s about the night. Being queer is “grass roots” because we know that everyone of us, every body, every cunt, every heart and ass and dick is a world of pleasure waiting to be explored. Everyone of us is a world of infinite possibility.
We are an army because we have to be. We are an army because we are so powerful. (We have so much to fight for; we are the most precious of endangered species.) And we are an army of lovers because it is we who know what love is. Desire and lust, too. We invented them. We come out of the closet, face the rejection of society, face firing squads, just to love each other! Every time we fuck, we win.
We must fight for ourselves (no one else is going to do it) and if in that process we bring greater freedom to the world at large then great. (We’ve given so much to that world: democracy, all the arts, the concepts of love, philosophy and the soul, to name just a few gifts from our ancient Greek Dykes, Fags.)
Let’s make every space a Lesbian and Gay space. Every street a part of our sexual geography. A city of yearning and then total satisfaction. A city and a country where we can be safe and free and more. We must look at our lives and see what’s best in them, see what is queer and what is straight and let that straight chaff fall away! Remember there is so, so little time. And I want to be a lover of each and every one of you. Next year, we march naked.
So this past Thanksgiving, I’m on the couch with my cousin and we’re watching Sherlock on my phone together while we’re eating turkey. My cousin is like 7 but she’s perceptive for her age so I knew she’d enjoy the show.
So we’re watching the first episode and then THIS fucking scene comes on:
And my cousin legit just BURIES her head in my chest like she’s trying not to watch it and I’m like, huh?
So I say to her, “why are you covering your eyes?”
And that’s when she says,
“Mommy said to cover your eyes when two people in a movie are about to kiss.”
I laughed so hard that I dropped my phone on her head and she cried.
For the record? As a self-employed small business owner with a preexisting condition, my pre-ACA health insurace suuuuuuuuucked. My current plan actually provides substantially better coverage than the old one and costs half as much. I only wish I’d done it sooner– getting on the exchange was, tbh, entirely a spite-motivated action on my part, and probably the sole positive impact of 45′s presidency on my life.
Please boost. ACA/Obamacare sign-up for next year ends December 15.
With the new update to Tumblr’s community guidelines
announcing that they will no longer permit adult content on their site,
we’d like to take a moment to reassure all y’all that we have your
backs. With a very few exceptions (such as spam and the like), if it’s
legal under US law, it’s okay to post here. We’re 100% user-supported,
with no advertisers and no venture capitalists to please, and that means
we’re here for you, not for shady conglomerates that buy up your data
and use it in nefarious ways.
Tumblr’s definition of “adult
content” seems to be inherently visual, and I also wanted to remind
people that we do have basic image hosting. (It’s definitely not as
slick and easy to use as Tumblr’s, I won’t lie, but it does exist.) If
you want to include images in your posts, you can upload them and the site will give you HTML that you can paste into your entry. Or, if you have post-by-email
set up, just attach the image to the end of your email and it’ll be
posted. All users have a 500MB image hosting quota right now. I know
that’s small for people looking for a place to host NSFW image blogs,
but we are reviewing usage statistics to see if we can increase it, or
at least make it possible for people to pay for more quota like you can
for more icons.
