A cock horse is, of course, an old fashioned name for a hobby horse. And a gay cock horse is a phrase you'll never see in a magazine ad today. #vintageAd#gay#horse
#LGBTQ Michiganders like me have been reeling since last week when 7 high school boys stalked, cornered, violently attacked, and hospitalized a #gay couple on the #MichiganState campus.
Shocked? Here are 3 reasons teen anti-#queer violence is surging.👇
Good. The state #oppression of gay people and #LGBTQ+ people in general must be condemned and ended worldwide. Only then can true #freedom be achieved. ✊
Of course, the law did not JUST target gay people. "#Homosexual acts" were illegal so #bisexual people were not off the hook. #Homophobia almost always implies #biphobia and other -phobias.
I recently read (or rather listened) to abook that I want recommend: "Better Living Through Birding: Note from a Black Man in the Natural World"
It is an autobiography of Christian Cooper, a truly fascinating human being. Cooper is (sadly) most famous for being the Central Park birder who was threatened by a racist white woman (and you know probably the rest of that story, so I won't retell it here), but there is much more to his story including of course the #birding (he weaves stories of his hobby and passion throughout the book), but also as a writer for #comics who played a key role in bringing several #LGBTQ characters to the #Marvel universe. And throughout it all, he also explains eloquently the joys and heartbreak of being a #Gay#Black man in a world that is often hostile towards gayness and blackness ---and I can't forget to mention his interesting ideas about nature-based spirituality, but also issue of accumulated trauma and family drama.

This week, @prismnpen's #LGBTQ writers cry out our human right to the dignity religious leaders, journalists and other elements of society seem determined to withhold from #gay, #transgender, and other #queer humans.
We are not depraved, #PopeFrancis, despite your Church’s dignity-destroying assertion!
"Cisgender-Heteronormativity isn't natural. It's just common. We're deconstructing, rewilding, denaturalising the oppressive structures we face and making room for diversity to flourish and blossom.
