UM, EXCUSE ME, BUT I’M HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND I FOUND THIS PICTURE OF MY BELOVED DEAD DAD FROM THE EARLY ‘80s AND I WANT TO CRY. Now y’all see where I get it from. I miss him so much. ✊🏽❤️

When gay men were fighting for their rights, one of the main talking points from bigots was that they were pedophiles looking for young boys. The same arguments are being dragged up now against trans people. It wasn’t true then and it isn’t true now.

If you want to hear a Pride lesson in Welsh, watch below. (Trust me, you want a Pride lesson in Welsh because learning/hearing lesser known languages is way cool and helps keeps languages alive.) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Last night, I hung out w/ a former student. Just finished her Masters of Social Work. She told me she learned more about social justice in my HSE4M class nearly a decade ago than what’s being taught in the MSW. Sometimes, you don’t see the fruits of your labour until yrs later.

It doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression is: You are worthy of love. You are deserving of respect. You are valued. And as a government, we’ll continue to have your back – this Pride season and all year long. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Fair skinned redhead representation matters less. This makes me sad and I am not racist for feeling this way. Ariel represented me and my kind for 23 years. A generation by definition is 18 years. twitter.com/_Quittny/statu…

NEVER FORGET: The first Pride parade was a riot from police violence. Remember that next time you see the pink washing of the police.

Ok, but what if that Black person was also gay? 🤔
Quote Tweet
Chick Fil-A CEO, Dan Cathy, says that every white person should get on their knees and “shine black people's shoes” with a “sense of shame” and “embarrassment” for the racism they experienced.

I want to know why reservations in the US are clearly marked on Google Maps but reserves in Canada aren’t. Anyone know why? Or who makes such decisions?

I'd be happy with a Samantha Jones spinoff where Kim Cattrall never has to hang out with people who made her life miserable. Every time I go back and watch and episode of S&C I'm like "why did I ever watch this?" & really, it's only Kim Cattrall. #SamanthaForever

For one night only, the “Sex and the City” universe will be whole again. Variety has learned that Kim Cattrall will reprise her iconic role as Samantha Jones in the Season 2 finale of “And Just Like That,” Max’s revival of HBO’s “Sex and the City.” bit.ly/43mybqk

This city gets more bleak by the minute.
Quote Tweet
It's a high of 30C and full sun for the next few days. The calendar will say June tomorrow. The City of Toronto has built a bureaucracy designed to make this city worse. thestar.com/business/2023/
