Bigotry and good mental health cannot co-exist in the moment.

Think about it: regardless of what you intend, when you tell queer people to "stop shoving" our "sexual orientation in your face," what...

We speak up and stand tall, because we learned long ago that "silence = death."

Savor the majesty of the moment.

Gay love is enduring.

Punitive conformity within gay liberation movements is just another way for us to stay safe and play it small.

Pride flags alone will not pacify us. We demand equity and equality under the law.

Queer people won't allow the constraints of straight society to suppress us. We can't be contained.

Some men lack Y chromosomes. Maleness and masculinity have never been about body parts.

Let's love how we like, and not become beholden to straight grievances or fragility.

Gender expression is a performative, culturally-constituted, social construct. That's just a fancy way of saying anyone can perform any...

In most cases, what people fall in love with is our vulnerability.

Let's risk all the vulnerability we can afford.

When people complain about gay pride, what they really fear is our agency and empowerment. Silencing us is just part of the oppression.

Let's celebrate queer companionship.

When people call us "flamboyant," what they're really trying to do is silence our pride. And 👏We 👏 Won't 👏Let 👏 Them 👏

...and you'll hear the sweetness of life calling your tender heart.

When people wonder why we broadcast our sexual orientation, what they're really asking is why we're not more grateful for our oppression.

Gay pride does not suffer debates about our dignity. Our role is to live and thrive as fully-fledged members of the global community...

Gay pride cannot be diminished by the fickle whims of an unbothered majority.
