Old gays literally mean so much to me, like knowing that other gay people “made it” and that it’s possible to live a long gay life is so important.

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

‘you have to respect your president’ is an absolutely terrifying statement and i never want to hear it again. no. you don’t have to respect a man that is racist, islamophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, intolerant, disrespectful (and the list goes on). the idea that you have to respect someone just because they’re in a position of power is fundamentally wrong, it’s how dictatorships work, it’s how oppression thrives, it’s saying that lives of minorities are somehow worth less. are you hearing yourselves?

the only good lgbt ally

also when they made dog day afternoon and bought the rights to his story he used the money to help fund edens surgery so he ended up able to help after all (after serving six years in prison for the heist)

other great facts:

- he based his bank robbery plan off The Godfather and Al Pacino ended up playing him and John Cazale played his accomplice - referred to himself as ‘the gay Babe Ruth’ - when he got out of jail he applied for a job as a security guard at the same bank with a T-shirt that said ‘I robbed this bank’ and put Al Pacino down as a reference - the robbery attempt was broadcast on TV and a crowd of LGBTQ activists came to cheer him on

expose him

“Heil Trump” - this is where we are now

Pro-tip: when you throw your arm up and yell at a white nationalist rally, the correct spelling is “Heil.”

Folks, when the Klan and the Nazis are feeling empowered and inspired, this isn’t “suck it up, buttercup” territory, this is “Nazi Punks Fuck Off” territory. Make a stand.

If you consider yourself patriotic, you betray every American value and veteran when you don’t speak out against this type of behavior, regardless of what party it’s coming from.

“I’m inspired by the love people have for their children. And I’m inspired by my own children, how full they make my heart. They make me want to work to make the world a little bit better. And they make me want to be a better man.” - President Barack Obama

Y'all don’t know how rare this is to have a President or politician who loves his wife and family the way Obama has in the last 8 yrs. You rarely see a President spend time with his kids and wife the way Obama did. When he wasn’t working he was with them. Making time for them like no other President or politician before. Then you had Michelle usually beside him. They looked so in love despite how the media tried to create drama in their relationship were there was none. It was beautiful. I’m gonna miss him and his family.

Police are terrorists not heros

Stop giving Nazis airtime. Fascism is to be smashed, not debated. There's nothing to learn from their point of view except how to destroy it.
