Introducing Communities on Tumblr
Communities are public and private spaces you can create on Tumblr—for you, your people, and the things you love. Frogs! Daleks! K-pop! The possibilities are endless.
It'd be neat to grow a huge fucking beard, get some sort of basic training of a bunch of different counselling certificates, and then offer services as a wizard advisor. Gonna be doing crafts while giving sessions, like
client: I'm scared that everyone secretly hates me and pretends that they don't, and one day they'll all just finally be sick of me and just all drop me all at once.
me, lounging on the couch wearing an embroidered robe, cross-stitching a huge tapestry depicting a dragon fucking a car: This vision of a future that you have foreseen is grim and it troubles you, as it has time and time again in the past. And yet of what I have seen, not once has it come to pass. How likely do you think it is, that this time should be different?
🧵 THREAD: This #PrideMonth, don’t forget that the fight for queer liberation didn’t start or end with marriage equality.
💪✨ We need to keep fighting for our rights.
Here’s are a few examples:
💋 Before the 2003 Supreme Court ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, same-smex smexual activity was illegal in fourteen U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. military
👶 Before 2015, LGBTQ+ couples couldn’t adopt in all 50 states. Before the Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, laws varied wildly by state.
🏳️🌈 Before 1973, the American Psychiatric Association listed homosmexuality as a ‘mental illness.’ In December 1973, a vote was successfully held to remove it.
🗳️ Before 1974, there were no openly gay elected officials. That changed with Kathy Kozachenko, who became the first openly gay American elected to public office in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
🎖️ Before 2011, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” banned LGBTQ+ people from serving openly in the military.
💍 Before 2015, LGBTQ+ couples couldn’t get married in all 50 states. At the time, laws varied by state, and while many states allowed for civil unions for same-sex couples, it created a separate but equal standard.
💼 Before 2020, employers could legally discriminate against queer and trans employees. It wasn’t until the U.S. Supreme Court held that an employer who fires or otherwise discriminates against an individual simply for being gay or transgender is in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
