Feodor Stepanovich Rojankovsky (Russian,1891-1970)
To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not. And what you do not know is the only thing you know And what you own is what you do not own And where you are is where you are not.
T.S. Eliot from FOUR QUARTETS (East Coker)

Children.
This was half a century ago roughly.
 I have clear memories of my Church telling me gay people deserve AIDS. This was 30 years ago.
They were always this unhinged!!!! Always! You just weren’t blissfully aware of it because you can’t ignore it now that you know it’s there.
if conservative adults had known the word "groomer" as fluently as they do now, they would have called my ballet teacher that. They already called him worse, and asked me, a child aged 4-12, leading questions to hopefully implicate him as a pedophile.
An elderly gay cis man who was one of the best people I've ever known and studied ballet in New York.
Most of this happened in the 90's. THEY HAVE ALWAYS HATED US.

“Sun-Spider was absolutely one of my favorite assignments on the film. I poured over Dayn Broder’s original designs to include as many design markers as I could, while trying to see if I could plus up the design. Had to make the wheelchair a mech that could follow her around.” — Kris Anka
