Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

The thing people don’t really tell you about coming out is that it is a perpetual, never-ending event. You don’t come out just once. You come out to your parents, you come out to your best friends, you come out to acquaintances, and you repeat this throughout your life with varying degrees of acceptance and success. It’s not always a banner event. Sometimes it’s just slipping “my girlfriend and I” into a conversation, or your partner calling you when you’re at work and a co-worker asking who it is, or the queer T-shirt you forgot you were wearing to class. You don’t always plan it. But you shield your heart and hope for the best every time. You realize who your true friends are. You realize a lot.

florrible-and-misrabella: “This next song is for the ladies…so I’ve seen a lot of beautiful ladies at Coachella today. But I want to see some more! So gentleman if you’re with a lady and you love her or like her, or ladies if you’re with a lady and you love her or like her, it’s time for you to raise her up!” You know why I much prefer Florence to Gaga? Why I think THIS message is way more supportive of LGBT that what Lady Gaga does (here, I’m not dissing on Gaga or saying what she does doesn’t help, it helps in it’s way of course, this is not an anti-Gaga message)? Florence aknowledge the LGBT diversity at her shows as completely normal. She says this like it’s nothing. She normalizes the fact that, yes, some women might’ve come with other women. If you were saying that in you fridge you had coke and seven up, you’d just say that you have cokes and seven up. No big deal. Would you say “I have coke and I have something that is entirely different than coke but it’s also as good so it’s okay! Don,t make a fuss about it!”. I speak as a part of the LGBT community, and I much prefer to be treated as if it was no big deal than to be told that it’s okay if I’m different and I should embrace it. To me, that simple little thing Florence said makes her a probably much more accepting person than a lot of people around me who are like “Yeah, being different is okay. it’s okay if you’re not like me.” because the message is, not only that it’s okay, but that there really is no differences at all.

pro tip if you have to amend the constitution to define marriage as being between a man and a woman then you are admitting that the constitution as it exists does not define marriage as being between a man and a woman

slightmayhem: pokem0n-master: skarosoul: faithisfaith: fitzarr: hannahlimpy: A group of Christians showed up at a Chicago gay pride parade in July. They were holding up signs saying “I’m sorry that Christians judge you” “I’m sorry for how the churches treated you” and “I used to be a bible-banging homophobe, I’m sorry”  Just when you’re beginning to lose faith in humanity, something like this shows up. Never not reblog it’s people like these who make the world happier. oh my gosh, this is beautiful I actually feel emotional just, omg :’) omfg

When you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You didn’t place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.

toturnonthelights: from left to right;  I am afraid to hold my boyfriend’s hand. My friend’s parents sent her away. I found death threats in my locker. I submitted to electroshock therapy. I lost half my friends after coming out. My grandmother sends me hate mail. My school won’t let me take my date to prom. I am not here anymore. My dad tried to beat it out of me.  No one is proud of me.

I’ve been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:

Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they’re in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?

We’re all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you.

They killed themselves after being bullied for being gay. It’s not okay. They didn’t deserve that end.
