We Made It
Okay so uh, we made it is literally ABOUT Harry. And I’m kinda flipping my shit. (I wasn’t a directioner okay I found myself really loving Harry’s music when he went solo so now I’ve been drawn into this hot mess.)
But like the lyrics are so clearly about his time with one direction AND it is a love song. Like come on:
We Made It
By Louis Tomlinson
'Cause we made it
Underestimated
And always underrated
Now we're saying goodbye
Waving to the hard times
Yeah, it's gonna be alright
Like the first time
Met you at your doorstep
Remember how we tasted
Looking into your eyes
Baby, you were still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine
Oh my, I remember those nights
Meet you at your uni', cheap drinks
Drink 'em all night
Staying out 'til sunrise
Share a single bed and tell each other what we dream about
Things we'd never say to someone else out loud
We were only kids, just tryna work it out
Wonder what they'd think if they could see us now, yeah
'Cause we made it
Underestimated
And always underrated
Now we're saying goodbye
Waving to the hard times
Knew that we would be alright
From the first time
Met you at your doorstep
Remember how we tasted
Looking into your eyes
Baby, you were still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine
Oh, God, what I could've become
Don't know why they put all of this on us when we're so young (I’m gonna kill all y’all who hurt him)
Done a pretty good job dealing with it all
When you're here, don't need to say no more
Nothing in the world that I would change it for
Singing something poppy on the same four chords
Used to worry 'bout it but I don't no more, yeah
'Cause we made it
Underestimated
And always underrated
Now we're saying goodbye
Waving to the hard times
Smoke something, drink something
Yeah, just like the first time
Met you at your doorstep
Remember how we tasted
Looking into your eyes
Baby, and we're still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine
with your hand in mine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
No, no, no, no
'Cause we made it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, 'cause we made it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Never coming down with your hand in mine
Like holy shit y’all this is some beautiful gay shit
TJ: For Y’all shitting on his name
I’m actually pretty damn proud of Luke Mullen in his choosing of TJ’s name.
Jagger of course after Mick Jagger. Jagger was of course the lead singer for The Rolling Stones and an overall iconic rockstar. He was known for his gender non-conforming stage persona in the 70s. He experimented with Glam Rock fashion, and makeup, and had quite the extravagant stage-presence. Jagger is notoriously bisexual and has been with many men and women in his time, including Princess Margaret and David Bowie.
Thelonious is most likely after Thelonious Monk, a Black Pianist and a prominent jazz artist from Harlem. He was known for his fantastic improvisation skills and compositions. He was an active jazz artist for nearly 40 years and was in a quartet with John Coltrane. Monk was also a victim of Police Brutality like many Black men in America. In 1958, on his way to a gig, where he was pulled over by police officers. When he refused to answer their questions, he was beat unconscious with a club-like weapon known as a Blackjack. Monk also suffered from severe mental illness that was misdiagnosed several times, he was put on narcotics, lithium, and other hard medications to try to ‘fix him’. Monk died in 1982 to a stroke.
So I’m proud of Luke’s picks, having TJ named after a gender non-conforming bisexual rock star and a mentally ill strong black man.
If Hayley Kiyoko is Lesbian Jesus can I be one of her Apostles?
As pride month begins, let us not forget our Palestinian brothers and sisters.
the curse of lesbians is falling in love with your best friend and never getting over it
Just wanna repost this in light of what the Catholic Church said recently
There is literally no demographic more interesting than queer religious people. Even if you never had much of a crisis in faith (like me), we are still forced to reconcile what we believe in with our own existence in a way that straight religious people, and nonreligious queer people, will never fully experience. I once spoke to a lesbian minister of a queer-centric nondenominational church who said “the god you believe in is always a reflection of self, which is why queer people see god as so much more loving and forgiving than other people do. Our god is a form of self-love and acceptance” and i will never forget that.
Imma start using this pic to ask people “is he ya’know...”

ngl I'll start doing this and I'm not even pan/bi
if pansexuals/bisexuals talked to straights the way they talk to us:
“just one gender? really? you're so picky. i can't imagine only picking one. how limited!”
We have so many words for hate, let's create as many new words for love.
When I first came to this site it was for content and comfort and community I couldn't find in my own surroundings, and I love this place, it still calms me. But the bitter side of being here is that every day I learn more and more about violence happening in the world. I first learned about racism in here. I first learned about homophobia in here. And hate crimes, and ableism and transphobia and misogyny and the many ways religion is treated. And it had taught me much. I find out that I too had participated in such acts of hate. I became a better person and changed my ways of thinking but I still have a lot to grow. It saddens me that every act of violence and hate has its own definition for it, because it means that such thing happened so often people created a new word for it. It saddens me that more and more such word are created every day. And I wish it wouldn't have to be this way, but I realise that people can't just give up on hate. But maybe one day we will. I hope that one day we will. But in the meantime, let's lay a foundation for it. Let's do for every act of violence and equal act of love and compassion and understanding and kindness. Let's do it again and again, that it would became its own phenomenon with its own definition.
We have so many words for hate, let's create as many new words for love.

Happy Pride 2024!🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
(I’m glad I draw it the last day.)
My gays, gals and non-binary pals, Netflix just casually dropped the entirety of their two times Annie award winner and Oscar nominated movie Nimona on YouTube.
Go watch it....or use an MP4 converter idk.
I saw something in the news today that truly took my breath away. If you have been paying attention to U.S. politics over the past few days, you’ve most likely seen this woman:
This is Bishop Mariann Budde, and on Monday (Trump’s inauguration) she led an interfaith prayer for Trump and the incoming administration. During the service she asked him to have mercy for LGBTQ+ Americans and undocumented immigrants. This was badly received by the Trump administration (as expected).
After seeing headlines about this woman, I read something that I wanted to share. In 1998 a man named Matthew Shepard was murdered for being gay. I’m not going to get into the details of his death on this post, but please be warned it is extremely triggering if you do choose to read more on your own. Matthew Shepard’s death caused a lot of change in the U.S. regarding how LGBTQ hate crimes are handled, and laws that were passed to protect LGBTQ+ people.
Now you’re probably wondering what Matthew Shepard has to do with an Episcopal bishop. For years after Matthew Shepard’s murder, his family had held onto his remains, too scared to lay him to rest in fear of his final resting place being vandalized. In 2018, Budde had his remains interred at the National Cathedral, which is also the place where the interfaith prayer for Trump and his administration took place. The impact of this really had an effect on me. Budde could have led a non confrontational prayer service, and chosen not to mention the harm that will come to the people Trump and his administration are going after. Instead she chose to call out hate and fear in front of some of the most powerful people on the planet, and at a place that has such a large historic meaning to the LGBTQ community.
In the next few years there will be many challenges in protecting free speech, standing up against hate, and protecting those in our communities. But I would like to believe that for every Donald Trump and Elon Musk, there are people like Marianne Budde. There are those of us who can’t speak up for themselves, so it’s important for those of us who can to amplify our voices, even if it’s not the ‘popular’ thing to do.
“And he said you should apologize. Will you apologize?
I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.” - Mariann Budde’s response in a Time interview

Am by names of Shamim ,am aged 23years and am a transgender man who lives in camp of refugees in Sudan .
I ran from home after my parents found out that am an lgbtq member ,in this they wanted even to kill me because in islam following in love with your fellow gender mate is Hallam.
In this they chased me out of home and they said that am no longer there biological child at all in this may parents said that l might be cursed .
So l had to move to Sudan ,where l found a certain camp and its called Gorom refugee camp settlement.
In this camp l found alot of people ,and children ,l joined the camp but situation was not good on my side ,no food ,no shelter ,no clean drinking water,still to me as a transgender man l faced discrimination ,homophobic attacks ,still no access to any work because of my gender appearance ,.
Now am in the month of Ramadan and l would love to fast because me am a moslem,but unfortunately as have told u about the situation am passing through some times l fail to fast.
Kindly in need of food ,drinks at least so that l can get Daku .
I wish l could get support from anywhere in this fasting period InshaAllah🤲🤲
I need a brother like Mario,one who help When the dysphoria kicks my ass so badly 😭
Ok, listen. Trans guy Luigi!
You really wanna play with emotions, huh? Fineee.
So, Mario was the first one to know and the first who supported Luigi's identity.
Luigi suffered a lot, locking himself into the bathroom mostly, when gender dysphoria kicked too hard. He didn't want to bother his brother with it at all.
There were moments when bullies told him he will never be a true guy and Mario made sure, Luigi never forgot how much he supported him and how much of a guy Luigi actually was.
Mario went to each doctor's appointment, supporting his little bro's fear of needles and the doctors. And even witnessed Luigi's first Testosterone injection.
And of course Mario was the first one to be there when Luigi woke up from his top surgery.
Support your local trans bro!
