What is a good way to support your LGBTQ friends when you're a straight ally? I'm finding that they think that I don't understand or that I'm trying to be cool or with the flow. How can I help them, you know in light with what's happened?
Honestly, as a straight ally, you truly will never completely understand their experience. And that’s ok! It’s important to acknowledge that. As an ally, the best thing to do is educate yourself on issues. Offer support when support is asked for. If someone speaks ill of a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or just speaks ill of the community in general, don’t stand by and say nothing. Sometimes the best thing to do is say, “Just know, if you need someone, I’m here for you.” And leave it at that, because it’s important to not make this about you. Many people in this community are in pain, especially right now, and it can not be their responsibility to also try to make you feel better. Being an ally means showing support even when there hasn’t been a tragedy. And it means finding ways to help even when no one is there to see you do so. If you believe, in your heart of hearts, that you are doing your best to change your own mentality and you’re doing what you can to offer support, then that will no doubt shine through to others as time goes by. Thank you for asking, because I can truly see you trying to better yourself, and that’s all that can be asked for.
ok shoutout to my people with imperfect skin !! i’m talking any kind of imperfections u all rock and you are beautiful
((All of us here are in mourning in light of the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando Florida. In total, 50 people lost their lives and at least 53 others were injured in this heinous hate crime. It was the largest mass shooting in US history and we are reeling at this huge loss to our community.
Tomorrow we can fight about the motives of the shooter and gun violence and politics, but today, RIGHT NOW, we need to support our LGBT+ siblings and mourn.
Please remember those who passed. We dont know who all of them were just yet, but please know that they were not just one of fifty people, but siblings, children, and spouses to many people. All of whose lives are now forever changed by their absence. And keep in your thoughts the victims who are in hospital. We wish them well and a quick recovery from this nightmarish ordeal.
And please, PLEASE, do not wish or do any harm to our Muslim siblings either. An individual causing violence does not mean that an entire group is violent, let alone somehow responsible.
The victims that we know of so far.

this pride month just a year ago we were celebrating nationwide gay marriage and the reaction was ecstatic. now we’re standing in the devastation of america’s largest mass shooting on a gay club. so fuck everyone who thought lgbt+ rights started and ended with legalising gay marriage. homophobia is present and real and dangerous.
i appreciate dan and phil not only for addressing the orlando shooting and expressing their sympathies but also continuing to be a bright light for many despite the hard times
Veronica: No you can't do that! You promised you wouldn't kill any one!
JD: ♪How bout I do anyway?♪

you…were…all i could trust…
i…cant…do this alone…
STIIIIIIIIIILLLLL IIIIIIIIIII WILL IF I MUUUUUSSSST!!!!!!!
support the arts. go see a friend’s theatre production, buy a piece of artwork you love if you can afford it, tip a street musician who made you stop walking to admire their skills. the arts are so beautiful and under appreciated. please commemorate people for the hard work they show through artwork. as an artist, it’s so easy to become discouraged, so if you have an opportunity to support an artist, do your best to take it.
It wasn’t meant to be. You’re not missing out. Your life has different plans for you.
ok but i need to stop making that double-chin face because i think it’s hilarious i don’t actually look like that all the time please believe me
Do you think Dan and Phil are ever just scrolling through tumblr and they see us all crying over how attractive they are and their confidence is just boosted for the rest of the day? Because I really hope that happens.
Spongebob is a witty and strong character who becomes a popular girl overnight
Patrick is the leader of the popular girl group who doesn’t care who she steps on so long as she’s at the top
Sandy is Spongebob’s boyfriend with potentially sociopathic/messianic tendencies and too much time on his hands

You’re letting your kids watching Disney movies which have:
naked women
a fucking stripper mouse
Satan
A 70 year old man enslaving a fucking 15 yr girl, giving her sexy outfits and calling her pussycat
This fucking movie
Drinking and smoking
Voodoo….
….which results in him, literally getting dragged to hell
And murder
But for some reason, a 4-second lesbian couple (or any future LGBT characters) is too inappropriate for your kids because now Disney is “perverted, evil, and it’ll brainwash your kids.”
Think of your priorities and morals.
