Dear Tumblr, come read about ancient lesbians! This is a free anthology of Ancient Greek and Latin works by/about wlw (translated into English), and itβs the first sourcebook specifically dedicated to wlw!
The translations and commentaries are done by queer scholars, but itβs inclusive toward a non-scholarly audience. And the project director hopes that βnew creations, texts, films, video, may emerge [β¦] and contribute to forging a new LGBTQI+ mythology that would - finally - not be based on shortcuts and reductive views about women in ancient societyβ (issue 1 p. 6).
So please come check it out and then make a bunch of art or stories about it (and show us!)
Gay schoolteachers wearing masks at parade, June 28, 1986
In this image, Seattle schoolteachers participating in the Gay Freedom Day parade through the Capitol Hill neighborhood hold a banner reading "Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide," and wear masks to protest the discrimination they have felt. An estimated 10,000 people participated in the event, which is part of Seattle's annual Gay Pride Week.

queer people have always existed in the south and they always will. thats home to a lot of us. your impulsion to shame southern queers for not "just moving to a blue state" is shitty and i hope you get hit by a bus. i dont know how to explain to you that saying all queer people should just leave the south is not the woke take you think it is. goodnight yall.
