People are protesting that we must boycott the film Bohemian Rhapsody because, and I quote, âthe trailer erases Mercuryâs homosexuality by having him flirt with a woman and whitewashes him!â Which is funny, because these people are basically erasing Freddie Mercuryâs bisexuality and his relationship with Mary Austin and whitewashing Rami Malek at the same time in order to back their shitty excuse of an argument.
Now, repeat with me:
Freddie Mercury wasnât gay, he was bisexual. Rami Malek is Egyptian.
Freddie Mercury wasnât gay, he was bisexual. Rami Malek is Egyptian.
Freddie Mercury wasnât gay, he was bisexual. Rami Malek is Egyptian.
Freddie Mercury wasnât gay, he was bisexual. Rami Malek is Egyptian.
A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP.
If anyone tries to tell you that Shakespeare is stuffy or boring or highbrow, just remember that the word ânothingâ was used in Elizabethan era slang as a euphemism for âvaginaâ.Â
Shakespeare has a play called âMuch Ado About Nothingâ, which you could basically read in modern slang as âFreaking Out Over Pussyâ. And thatâs pretty much exactly what happens in the play.Â
At least eight islands in the Pacific have already disappeared because of rising sea levels. Over the next century many communities, including my family, will be displaced and lose their ancestral lands and foundation of their cultural practices. Trump removing the US from the Paris Agreement, taking climate change off the National Security Strategy, and repealing the Clean Power Plan is a slap in the face and to me, intensely personal. PLEASE contact your representatives regarding climate change and taking steps to counteract the potentially irreversible harm Trump is doing to our planet.
I am working on setting up an online store in the next month or so and it will include all of my Disney Resists prints! 10% of everything in my shop will go to the ACLU and other civil rights groups putting in the time this past year đ
A gameshow that forces male nerds into the unnecessarily sexualized outfits female video game characters have that they defend as âpractical,â and then makes them do agility training
i predict that when love, simon comes out a bunch of people on here are going to be bending over backwards to find parts of it that are âcringeyâ or not 100% in line with our 2018 views on gender and sexual politics, but like, thatâs sorta the point? Itâs a teen coming-of-age movie. That genre is by very definition cringey. I grew up with perks of being a wallflower, whip it, and juno. I still love those movies but iâll be the first to admit that they have certain elements that are cringe-worthy. Even classics like ferris bueller and the breakfast club have their flaws looking back on them as an adult. I imagine love, simon will be just as cringey as the john green books and movies that people fawned over on this website for years. The point is, this isnât meant to be some cinematic masterpiece that revolutionizes the gay film genre. Itâs not going to win any oscars. Itâs a bubblegum coming of age movie thatâs made for teens, especially gay teens, to enjoy. If youâre a twenty-something and this movie feels juvenile or lacking nuance or silly to you, maybe thatâs because itâs not for you. Let it be for the 13-year-old gay and questioning kids who have only ever seen themselves represented as the quirky bestfriend in coming of age narratives before, not the protagonist until now. Let it be for the young gay people who are burnt out on independent, artsy gay tragedies and just want to see themselves in a goofy popcorn flick for once. For all the corny, embarrassing romcoms straight teenagers get, donât gay teens deserve one too? Itâs not that deep.Â
