"Was there some specific catalyst for her coming out and accepting who she truly was, or had she simply grown tired of hiding? I wish I’d asked her."
A beautiful homage, with an acknowledgment of regret, to Aunt Carol and the often difficult lives/tragic endings of older LGBTQ people.

Thank you @SmudgeTheInsultCat for boosting this excellent #Thanksgiving Day advice courtesy of best big brother ever.
#Twitter just #shadowbanned my PhD advisor Michael L. Nelson. He was covering how the wife of the US Speaker of the House had an anti-#LBTQ+ website and just took it down, but it’s still in #webarchives. Due to the #shadowban, we can view the tweets by URL, but cannot view the whole thread. He’s asked us to #retweet him in hopes of: (1) getting the word out about the shadowban, and (2) overcoming the shadowban (unlikely).

Happy #pridemonth - if you're looking to read some #lbtq books, here are a bunch that I've discussed on my book blog:

Now, more than ever, if you're not lbtqia+, please be an ally. Everyone should have their #humanrights respected. That does not require buying stuff with rainbows on them, it requires open eyes and the willingness to speak up when needed. #blog #writingcommunity #reading #bookstodon #bookblog #amreading
#MovieMonday
this is a favorite of mine (I own the DVD) the #Movie “Beautiful Boxer” is a biopic based on the #transgender champion #muaythai Parinya Charoenphol (a.k.a Nong Toom)
With the anti #lbtq these days, promoting #Movies that center on #lgbt just seems like a good idea
.
“The movie was highlighted in the book Movies and Mental Illness: Using Films to Understand Psychopathology as a example of films focusing on Gender Dysphoria”
