Gay men have made amazing traction and visibility with shows like It’s a Sin, which was so widely watched [that it broke records].
“And it wasn’t just gay men that were watching it. I really felt the full country come together to watch this show about a moment in history that impacted gay men so profoundly. I don’t see the same happening for queer women on as big a scale. I don’t see a Queer Eye or RuPaul for lesbians.

as a graphic artist, the tumblr pride color theme is an eyesore and I hate it; as a queer person, the tumblr pride color theme is an eyesore and I love it

My reaction to this article was “oh yeah me too.”

Coming out is misconstrued as one-and-done, like ripping off a plaster. But we don’t talk about all the plasters that come after that. Whether it’s a new therapist, a colleague who misgenders your partner, or a relative haranguing you about finding a husband and not a wife – it never ends.
I’m a Muslim woman who wears hijab, so practically everyone I come across assumes I’m heterosexual. But I’m not – I’m a lesbian, just not an out lesbian. My family doesn’t know and never will, which is something I’ve made my peace with.
If I set things straight (no pun intended) every single time, I would be coming out to an exhausting number of people.

Happy Women’s History Month, Tumblr! 🎉
For the past few years, Tumblr has celebrated Women’s History Month by honoring women who have continuously shaken up our world for the better. We’ve highlighted prominent women in their respective fields, signal-boosted those who were working for or speaking up about a worthy cause, and showcased incredible artists who deserve to be seen.
This year we’re doing more of the same—just a little bit differently. This year, we’re making a concerted effort to give the microphone to women of color, indigenous women, trans women, immigrant women, women who are refugees, women with disabilities, and all other types of women who face the effects of marginalization more than others.
Not all of us experience the world in the same way. Life experiences, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexuality, immigration status, and so many other factors can determine how the world sees someone. We hope our interviews, celebrations, and all the other highlighting we do here on @action will allow you to see what it’s like for someone who may live a life that looks much, much different from your own. In continuation of our year-long #BlackExcellence365 celebration, we’ll be shining that spotlight a little more brightly on Black women.
Here is a glimpse of just some of the interviews and other celebrations on our calendar:
3/5—An interview with Colombian artist Stefania Tejada (@stefaniatejada)
3/8—Observance of International Women’s Day
3/12—An interview with Game Designer Mitu Khandaker
3/14—An interview with Brooklyn-based photographer Miranda Barnes (@mirandabarnes)
3/18—An interview with Mexican-American artist Gabriella Sanchez (@thatnoisegallery)
3/19—An interview with Game Designer Catt Small
3/25—An interview with Nigerian activist Kawther Inuwa (@muslimarmy)
3/27—A Celebration of #MuslimWomensDay2019 with @muslimgirlarmy
3/29—An interview with Transgender parent, Kat Rohn (@trans-parenting)
3/31—Honoring the International Day of Transgender Visibility Day with Kylie Wu (@transgirlnextdoor)
That’s not all. We want this to be a community effort. We want to hear from you. How are you honoring the women in your life? How does intersectional feminism shape your art, your writing, or even how you move through life? Let your followers know what’s on your mind by making a post and tagging it #Women’s History Month. We’ll be looking.

To all the aces and aros out there, please remember that pride month is as much for you as it is for any other identity. You have every right to go to pride events and every right to celebrate. You also have every right to call yourself queer.
