My dad and I have had an interesting relationship over the past several years – moving from a strained distance to a bittersweet closeness, which has come about after his diagnosis with early on-set Alzheimer’s disease. Our relationship has been further complicated by my identity as a queer genderfluid person, and my dad’s inability to understand new and nuanced concepts of gender due to his illness. It took me a long time, but recently I took that important step of coming out to my dad, and I documented the process in my new three-episode podcast, Paper Brain. The first episode just came out today, in honor of Father’s Day. Give it a listen here: tinyurl.com/y9myza5z
As difficult as it can be to have a parent with Alzheimer’s, I’m so glad I have my dad and I’m so grateful for the person he is. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

This is the best thing I’ve seen today. Hope to live to see the day when every parent is as accepting as this

when love simon came out white gays got hella loud-which is fine because it was a coming of age movie about a closeted gay kid. but it’s been real quiet since the announcement of rafiki, which is not only a film about two kenyan girls but the first kenyan film to go to sundance

on top of that despite the best efforts of the director to appeal to the kenya’s film and classification board the film was banned in kenya on the grounds that it “attempts to legitimize lesbianism”. since that put the film in the spotlight it seems like this should have shown up on some radars and spawned a few “support rafiki” posts yet they’ve been very few and far between

Is there any place where I, an American woman who is not straight and who would love to see a Kenyan Lesbian film, can support this?

the film came out at cannes (not sundance) last month and is still playing at festivals so it‘ll probably be available in a few months. the soundtrack is on itunes

controversial topics should be stuff like “is cloning good” or “should we fuck aliens” and not whether people deserve to be poor or deserve healthcare

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Aros and aces

Reagan: I feel sorry for you, and I’m going to be your friend.

Cath: I don’t want to be your friend. I like that we’re not friends.

Reagan: Me, too. I’m sorry you ruined it by being so pathetic.

gay culture is knowing and accepting that aces and aros belong in the LGBT+ community

Hey OP?

The key to getting over imposter syndrome is to know everyone else is an imposter too. Tell yourself you deserve a stake in the scam they’re all running.

Ummmm excuse me but this is fucking brilliant.

Did you just cure imposter syndrome with… spite?

You can cure a LOT with spite.
