markiplier lore is queer: an essay by me.
dedicated to @system32-cleanmgr <2
so, to start things off, i wanna talk about the gender of it all. because of the gender ambiguity of the viewer insert in almost every markiplier lore video, the universe now has at least three canonical non-binary characters who go by they/them pronouns (wether these characters are all the same character, different characters, or kind of the same character is unknown).
but that's not where the gender fuckery of the better mcu ends. you see, there's also the (subtextual and mostly ignored, yes, but still relevant) overall gender fuckery of darkiplier's character. because, while they present male, they are still in some ways a combination of celine and damien, two people of opposite genders (not to mention the fact that they exist inside the body of the viewer from who killed markiplier, who's one of the formerly mentioned non-binary characters). so, while not explicit representation, i personally like to think of darkiplier as some flavor of genderfluid.
i also feel like damien and celine's specific gender expressions themselves affect darkiplier in some ways: while they're both (presumably) cis, the two still have very distinct ways of performing their respective gender identities. damien portrays a softer version of masculinity, whereas celine shows a slightly harsher femininity than what we're used to seeing in media. he's a bit clueless and sees things from an emotional, human perspective, and she's clearly used to being the rational, fast-paced one, always trying to find solutions. this dynamic might have something to do with them being siblings (and i'm assuming celine's the older of the two, purely because of all the talk of 'keeping damien safe'), and it's not inherently queer, but it is interesting to me that these characters have such specific ways of acting out their genders.
now, this one's not as important, but i would also like to mention the casual usage of they/them pronouns for other characters as well. in in space with markiplier: part 2, mark explicitly refers to the character of lady by they/them pronouns multiple times (this could also be either because they're an alien and mark doesn't know how they identify, or because their actor, lio tipton, is non-binary, but to me, that reads as somewhat solid confirmation that the character goes by they/them pronouns), and mark himself is referred to as "they" by the narrator at least once.
this isn't really a gender identity thing, but rather a gender expression thing, but i do also wanna talk about wilford warfstache and his gender non-conformativity. i do think he identifies as male, all things considered, but he doesn't seem the least bit interested in masculinity as a concept, favouring traditionally (i say traditionally, but i do mean societally, since pink used to be considered a boy color) feminine colors like pink and yellow, and being more than open to expressing his feelings and encouraging other characters to do the same.
now i'm gonna get into the sexualities. how are queer sexualities portrayed in markiplier lore?
well, that's a hard question to answer; no character has ever been (as far as i know) specifically stated to be of any sexual orientation. although there is a high possibility that wilford is pansexual, since he was clearly in love with celine, but it's implied he doesn't really care about the gender of whomever he happens to be romantically or sexually involved with at the time (i.e. him casually asking abe if they used to date, because that really is a possibility).
aside from wilford, because of the ambiguous gender of the viewer insert, a lot of characters end up being inadvertedly queer because of their attraction to them, most of them most likely falling on the m-spec.
there's also something to be said about abe the detective. is he gay or not? well, again, nothing's canon, but i think it's safe to assume he isn't straight. the "accidental" homoerotic innuendos he makes constantly seem less like a joke about being gay, and more like a joke about having repressed, sexual thoughts about someone, and having those thoughts emerge as those kinds of comments.
the "would anyone like to join me?" comment might just be will making fun of him, but i can't find it in myself to think actor mark is straight either. i guess it's just a headcanon, but let's be honest, he's every 'subtly' queer-coded old cartoon villain ever. he's rich, dramatic, petty, and vain, and frankly sometimes being evil and queer is just a fact of life.
but i'm not gonna go further into my headcanons on here, lest this post turn into a list instead of an essay, so i'll just wrap it up here. thanks for listening to my ramble.

What’s up? I’m 22, autistic, biromantic-demisexual, and use She/Her pronouns. Storytelling is really important to me, and the stuff I make is almost always dark, unhinged, and macabre.
This is a list of all the stories I’ve written so far (and I’ll be making updates in time with future stories). The characters I mainly write for are YouTuber Egos; those of Nathan Sharp/NateWantsToBattle, Markiplier, MatPat, Thomas Sanders, etc.

"A Friend of the Family"
La serie está basada en la desgarradora historia real de la familia Broberg.
Tumblr media
"A Friend of the Family "es una miniserie biográfica de suspenso de origen estadounidense transmitida por Peacock.
Basada en la desgarradora historia real de la familia Broberg, cuya hija Jan fue secuestrada varias veces durante un período de años por Robert, un "amigo" carismático y obsesionado de la familia.
Tumblr media
Los Broberg, dedicados a su fe mormona, familia y comunidad, no estaban preparados para las tácticas sofisticadas que su vecino usó para explotar sus vulnerabilidades, separarlos y poner a su hija en su contra.
Tumblr media
A lo largo de varios años, Robert pudo preparar a la joven, secuestrándola varias veces y provocando una gran ruptura dentro de la familia.
Tumblr media
Usando su naturaleza carismática y formas altamente manipuladoras, Robert atrajo a Jan lejos de su casa y en un momento incluso sedujo a sus padres para que tuvieran aventuras románticas con él.
Tumblr media
Al final de todo, la familia quedó destrozada por el trauma infligido por Robert, dejando a todos destrozados a raíz de los acontecimientos.
Es la historia de cómo sus vidas fueron alteradas permanentemente y cómo sobrevivieron.
Tumblr media
En esta alucinante serie encontramos a impresionantes actores y actrices como: En el papel principal del personaje protagonista (Bob Broberg) contamos con Colin Hanks (hijo mayor de Tom Hanks)
Por otro lado, hay otros actores muy cercanos al prota, serán: Anna Paquin y Jake Lacy, en el papel de Mary Ann Broberg y Robert “B” Berchtold respectivamente. ¡Os van a embelesar! Y, finalmente, disfrutaréis con los actores Lio Tipton, Mckenna Grace, Jayden Braddock actuando como Gail Berchtold, Jan Broberg Felt, Alexi The Diner Patron.
La historia como hecho real es interesante, pero trascurre lenta y la ignorancia de los años 70 no ayudan a amenizarla.
Ves situaciones que no entiendes como pudieron pasar realmente
Hay un documental en Netflix sobre este hecho, creo que mejor que tragarse 10 episodios, yo solo he llegado hasta el 5 y sin mucho interés.

Jan Broberg era una tipica niña inocente de idaho, que con solo 12 años fue victima de un hecho atroz de parte de un supuesto amigo de la familia que resulto ser un perverso quien supo jugar sus cartas para salirse con la suya.

If you want an excuse to ramble about your headcanons for a long-ass amount of time, I'll your excuse.
Rant to me.
Aight Bet.
These will just be my sexuality headcanons for each character, not who I ship them with.
The Actual Reasons For My Headcanons:
Because I said so (Applies to all)
The “Logical/Analyzed” Reasons For My Headcanons:
The Captain (Genderfluid Abrosexual): Canonically, The Captain is referred to with they/them pronouns, is found attractive by almost everyone, and is said to be “so handsome and/or beautiful” by almost everyone. The identity of The Captain is also canonically whoever the viewer is. This means their gender and sexuality changes/fluctuates constantly depending on the viewer. Random Headcanon time: The Captain is so handsome and/or beautiful that anyone who tries to merely use the gender binary to describe them throws up rainbow bile mid-sentence.
Allu Minium (Nonbinary Pansexual): The actor for Allu Minium, Lio Tipton, is nonbinary and pansexual themselves. Also, in an Allu makeup tutorial livestream, it was revealed their design was initially supposed to have the nonbinary flag colors, but the yellow makeup was hard to see. Random Headcanon time: Allu did not initially know what the word nonbinary was. They just knew they weren’t male or female. Once they really got into studying human customs and cultures, they learned what gender and sexuality labels are, and nearly exploded with joy after finding ones that applied to them.
Mark (Pansexual): In the Noir route, it’s revealed in one of his internal monologues that Mark has a crush on The Captain, who, as stated earlier, can be literally any gender. No matter what gender The Captain is, Mark is attracted to them. Random Headcanon time: When Mark has a crush on someone, he will be 100% loyal to them, and gush about them non-stop to the point where the rest of the Invincible II crew considers throwing him out of the airlock.
Celci (Pansexual): (I may be wrong about this, please correct me if I am) The actress for Celci, Pamela Horton, while she is not sure what sexuality label fits her best, she is certain that she loves people of all types regardless of gender. Random Headcanon time: Celci doesn’t usually express her romantic/sexual attraction externally when she has a crush on someone, as she needs to stay serious and focused when on duty. But internally she is yelling the equivalent of a keyboard smash.
Burt (Demiromantic): Burt doesn’t talk as much as the other members of the Invincible II crew, specifically early in the series. As the series continues, he starts talking more, and although some of what he says is cryptic, what he does say carries a lot of meaning. I like to think that he usually stays reserved when he doesn’t know someone well, talks more as he gets to know them, and talks *a lot* when a true emotional connection is formed with them. Him talking a lot to and with them is a sign that he is attracted to them. Random Headcanon time: The first time Burt felt romantic attraction towards someone was when he joined the Invincible II crew. It was is towards Gunther. (I know I said I wouldn’t talk about my ships here but l i s t e n).
Gunther (Gay): In his introductory scene, Gunther smacks Mark on the ass (epic evidence I know). Gunther is both very extraverted and has an attitude of “I don’t care what you think of me.” Very self-confident in himself, and his abilities. I mean, he felt comfortable smacking Mark’s ass in the middle of the ship with plenty of other crew members present. I think he doesn’t give a fuck what others think of his sexuality. Random Headcanon time: If someone ever does try to shame him for being gay, he’s like “Well your dad wasn’t complaining last night” or “Yeah, and I’m also a gunslinger. *pulls out pistol.* Gonna bitch about that, too?”
The Bandit (Biromantic Asexual): When The Captain first meets The Bandit, it's shown that she's one of the many people to find The Captain attractive. Although I used similar reasoning to explain Mark as Pan, I headcanon that she prefers Bi as her label. In the Noir route, it’s shown in her internal monologue just how attractive she thinks The Captain is. But I think in that instance she feels aesthetic attraction (and romantic attraction) but not sexual. She knows when someone (such as The Captain) is aesthetically pleasing and wants to get to know them, but not with any sexual intent or desire. Random Headcanon time: She doesn’t want to have sex with anyone, nor does she want to see content that contains it in great detail. She is, however, completely fine with sex jokes, and will make a good amount of them to the point where outside parties think she’s bisexual and not biromantic.
Mack (Polysexual Trans Male): Mack is the substitute for Mark in an alternate universe. Mack is like Mark in many ways (his name, head engineer, egotistical, acts like they know everything) but there are small differences. “Mack” is one letter off from “Mark,” his egotism is higher than Mark’s, he’s actually a competent head engineer, etc. I feel like this would also apply to Mack’s gender + sexuality. I headcanon Mark as pansexual (attraction regardless of gender), which is a multisexual label. Polysexual (attraction to various, but not all, genders) is another multisexual label. Pan and Poly are similar, but not the same. They are also both canonically men, another similarity, but I see Mark as a cis man, and headcanon Mack as a trans man. Also, in the route where The Captain points out Mack isn’t Mark, he ends up glitching out of the universe, but right before he disappears, he yells at The Captain “You do not get to choose whether or not I exist! This is my ship!” So this line hits different now. Random Headcanon time: In the route where he becomes a dictator, every homophobe/transphobe got sentenced to death immediately. It’s the one good thing that came out of his reign.
Wug (Unlabeled/Ambiguous): (I may be wrong about this one too, please correct me if I am) Wug is a robot alien from a species also known as Wug. All Wugs look and sound the same regardless of gender. The Wug we befriend uses he/him pronouns, but I’m not certain if he identifies as a man, or if he simply prefers those pronouns. In the Noir route we encounter another Wug that goes by she/her pronouns, but I’m also unsure if this Wug identifies as a woman, or if she simply prefers those pronouns. What I do know is that she does not identify as a male Wug, and is a different gender than our Wug. The sexuality of our Wug is also unknown. Wug is one of the people to see The Captain as “handsome and/or beautiful” but other than that there is no potential indication that Wug is romantically/sexually attracted to The Captain, or to anyone else. His interactions with other characters show that he just wants to be a helpful, caring friend. I don't know what labels Wug would use for his gender and sexuality, if he uses labels at all. Whatever the case, he is completely valid. Random Headcanon time: Whenever asked what his identity specifically is, he replies with “Wug is Wug!”
Ms. Whitacre (Ally): Ms. Whitacre is your typical sweet, kind old lady. She calls everyone “dearie” or “dear,” bakes you cookies, gives you motivational speeches, is an omniscient reality warper, y’know, typical caring grandma. You cannot tell me that she didn’t adopt all these baby gays (they’re all adults but to her they’re basically children) as soon as she saw them. Random Headcanon time: At the colony’s first space pride she wears a shirt that says “My Grandchildren Are Gay.”

Tweet from @/inspacewithem on Twitter with a clip from a recent Cloak Instagram live with Lio Tipton.
Description:
In the video, Lio is asked for an update on production for The Edge of Sleep, and they share that editing is almost complete and that “it’s looking amazing”. Lio shares a comment on Mark’s acting, describing it as “stupid good”, and going on to praise his growth as an actor. The clip ends with Lio teasing a season two (though this is more of a light joke and should not be taken as an official announcement).
Tweet description: “here’s the clip from the stream where they talk about teos :) thank me later”
Thank you to @averytheghost2 for letting me know about this!!!

Megan Fox celebrates 'putting the B in #LGBTQIA for over two decades'
New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/entertainment/megan-fox-celebrates-putting-the-b-in-lgbtqia-for-over-two-decades/
Megan Fox celebrates 'putting the B in #LGBTQIA for over two decades'
Tumblr media
Happy Pride Month, she’s, gays and they’s.
It’s the queerest time of the year – yes, the whole month of June – when the LGBTQ community comes together to celebrate being out and proud. Pride started as a protest outside the Stonewall Inn in 1969 in New York, and the community wouldn’t be as outspoken as it is today without the work of Black and Latinx transgender women.
The coronavirus pandemic thwarted traditional Pride parades and other debauchery last year. With the country reopening again, members of the LGBTQ community can more readily gather safely this time around.
But how are LGBTQ celebrities partaking in Pride Month this year, and what does it mean to them? We asked some – and are monitoring many others’ social media accounts throughout June – to tell us their thoughts.
Interesting: Is coming out as a member of the LGBTQ community over? No, but it could be someday.
Megan Fox has been ‘putting the B in #LGBTQIA for over two decades’
Actress Megan Fox celebrated Pride Month with a series of selfies that included a rainbow French manicure.
“Putting the B in #LGBTQIA for over two decades,” Fox, 35, captioned the photos June 26 on Instagram with two rainbow emojis and a Pride hashtag.
She also promoted two charities in the caption: Move On, an organization that refers to itself as “a force for social justice and political progress,” and Into Action, “a movement of designers, illustrators, animators and artists building cultural momentum around civic engagement and the issues affecting our country and world.”

Former ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ star Laganja Estranja comes out as trans
Drag queen and choreographer Laganja Estranja, who appeared in the 2014 season of reality competition show “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” announced she is “so proud to identify as trans” in an Instagram post for Pride Month.
Story continues
“I feel so empowered that I don’t have to hide in the shadows as I make this journey,” she wrote in a June 15 post, thanking “all the trans brothers and sisters that came before me who fought so that my coming out could be joyous!”
Estranja’s given name off-stage is Jay Jackson, which she told Entertainment Weekly she still plans to go by with those close to her.
“I am so proud to identify as TRANS and to be living my truth. Happy PRIDE, you are beautiful as you are.”
Kamala Harris and husband Doug Emhoff march in Pride parade
Vice President Kamala Harris and husband Doug Emhoff wore Pride T-shirts and joined marchers for the Capital Pride Parade on June 12 in Washington, DC.
Harris’ shirt read “Love is love” and Emhoff’s showed a series of text reading “Love first” in a variety of colors.
The vice president stopped and talked to the crowd, according to pool reports.
“We still have so much to do. We celebrate all the accomplishments,” she said. “Finally marriage is the law of the land. We need to make sure that our transgender community are all protected.”
Harris shared a similar message on Instagram the next day where she also recalled the honor of officiating the wedding of Kris Perry and Sandy Steir, whose court case paved the way for marriage equality in California. She noted a need to expand protections for the LGBTQ community in housing, employment and education.
“I want you to know we see you, we hear you and the president and I will not rest until everyone has equal protection under the law,” she said.

JoJo Siwa celebrates first Pride, 5-month anniversary with girlfriend
JoJo Siwa is celebrating her “first Pride” this month, which also coincides with her and her girlfriend’s five-month anniversary.
“Happy pride month!” Siwa, 18, captioned a June 4 Instagram post with a rainbow emoji. “It’s time to celebrate being who you are and LOVING who YOU wanna LOVE!!❤️”
In the post, Siwa and girlfriend Kylie Prew are shown beaming and embracing while wearing rainbow getups in front of a huge “PRIDE” display. The internet star, who started out on “Dance Moms” in the mid-2010s, came out in January as a member of the LGBTQ community, later sharing she identified as queer and pansexual. For the couple’s one-month anniversary in February, she divulged in a sweet post that she was “the happiest I have ever been.”
“It really has been the best 5 months of my life truly being exactly who I am and finding love has been the best part of it all,” Siwa added in her new post. “I love this human so much. I’m so happy❤️”

Miley Cyrus’s message for Pride was blunt: “STOP homophobia whenever and wherever you see it,” the singer wrote on Instagram alongside photos of herself next to a stop sign. She tagged her Happy Hippie Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to providing resources to LGBTQ youth, homeless citizens and other vulnerable communities.
The former Disney star spoke about being pansexual and gender-fluid in Variety’s 2016 Power of Women L.A. issue and said she discovered her identity through through the LGBTQ center in L.A.
“I saw one human in particular who didn’t identify as male or female,” she said. “Looking at them, they were both: beautiful and sexy and tough but vulnerable and feminine but masculine. And I related to that person more than I related to anyone in my life. Even though I may seem very different, people may not see me as neutral as I feel. But I feel very neutral.”
Alexandra Shipp says it’s ‘never too late to be you’
“X-Men: Apocalypse” star Alexandra Shipp took to Instagram on June 3 to share “regrets” for not coming out as a member of the LGBTQ community earlier and to encourage fans to be themselves.
“I didn’t come out until I was 28. Though I don’t believe in regrets, this would definitely be #1 for myself. I denied denied denied,” Shipp wrote. “I struggled with not only my sexuality, but my femininity. I was scared it was too late. I was scared I wasn’t going to be able to get work. I was scared no one would ever love me. Scared. Scared. Scared.”
The 29-year-old added that she is now “happy in ways I don’t think my kid self could imagine.”
“It’s never too late to be you. If I don’t work because of a flawed, racist and homophobic system, then it was never the right thing for me … I’m not scared anymore. I have #pride in who I am and what I’m doing on this planet.”
Janelle Monáe encourages LGBTQ community to ‘shine hard’
Janelle Monáe came out as pansexual during a 2018 Rolling Stone interview and in 2021 she is using social media to spread love.
Pansexuality is attraction to all gender identities, or attracted to people regardless of gender, according to GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis.
Saturday the “Tightrope” singer reposted words from a tweet by LGBTQ writer and activist Alexander Leon.
“Queer people don’t grow up as ourselves, we grow up playing a version of ourselves that sacrifices authenticity to minimise (sic) humiliation & prejudice,” Leon wrote. “The massive task of our adult lives is to unpick which parts of ourselves are truly us & which parts we’ve created to protect us.”
She finished the post with a series of emojis including rainbows and spaceships calling herself a “kid for life.”
“For those of us who spent time in the dark and had to build worlds to protect ourselves Shine HARD. I love us,” she wrote.

Taylor Swift urges senators to pass the equality act
The “You Need To Calm Down” singer is “proudly” teaming up with GLAAD for its “Summer of Equality” campaign to help get the Equality Act passed.
“Who you love and how you identify shouldn’t put you in danger, leave you vulnerable or hold you back in life,” Swift wrote in a statement posted to Twitter Tuesday. “I proudly join GLAAD in their #summerofequality and add my voice to those who support The Equality Act. Happy Pride Month!”
The Equality Act would amend existing civil rights law to explicitly include sexual orientation and gender identification as protected characteristics. Those protections would extend to employment, housing, loan applications, education and other areas.
Swift took a moment to thank her fellow “courageous activists, advocates and allies for their dedication to fighting against discrimination and hatred.”
She continued: “As always, today I am sending my respect and love to those bravely living out their truth, even when the world we live in still makes that so hard to do.”

GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis thanked Swift for her advocacy and said the goal of their “Summer of Equality” campaign is to “get every senator to vote yes.”
The bill passed the U.S. House 224-206 in February, with all Democrats but just three Republicans supporting it. Its fate in the closely divided Senate is uncertain. The House also passed the bill in the last Congress, but it didn’t advance to the Senate.
Niecy Nash: ‘Love should be at the forefront’
Niecy Nash and wife Jessica Betts got married in August – when virtually no one even knew Nash was queer.
“I am proud of who I am,” she says. “I am proud of my relationship. I’m proud of our marriage. I am just proud to be a Black woman who (lives) life on her own terms and does it out loud.”
How’s she digging the newlywed life? “It’s treating me great,” she says. “I’m married to one of the most beautiful souls.” A typical weekend for the pair involves good food, swimming and relaxing in the hot tub, she says.

Niecy Nash hosts this year’s GLAAD Media Awards.
Nash didn’t know what to expect once she revealed her truth to the world, “but my close friends and family were extremely supportive and so that was the most important part for me,” she says.
She’s been vocal about how she didn’t come out – she “never hid anything” – but rather came into herself.
“I feel like you only really need courage in the face of fear,” she says. “And I don’t know if I was afraid in as much as I was just cautious, because I did not know how we were going to be received in the world.”
Plans for her first Pride Month aren’t set in stone yet, but she encourages people to lead with love.
“The world needs so much love right now because we’ve come through a really tough year and there’s so many things happening in the world that bring stress and chaos,” she says. “Love should be at the forefront of any conversation that anybody is having.”

Candis Cayne reflects on first Pride, need to band together for trans community
Actress Candis Cayne acknowledged that Pride has changed over the years – especially since she came out (Cayne came out twice, but as transgender in 1995).
“When I first came out, Pride Month was about fighting for our rights. It was about marching, it was about telling the world that we were OK with who we were, and we were valued people in the community. And luckily, more and more, it’s been accepted,” she says. That said, there’s still a ways to go.
Her first Pride was in New York City, where she saw a sea of people on Fifth Avenue.
“I remember just vividly thinking, ‘There’s more of us out there than I thought,’ ” she says. She’s done New York Pride for about 20 years, including performing on floats, and she recalled dressing as Wonder Woman and jumping off a truck and pretending to push it forward and backward – a magical, quintessential Pride moment.

She doesn’t have plans just yet for Pride – she is vaccinated and encourages others to do the same – but “might just have a get together and celebrate Pride in a more intimate way this year.”
She encourages the LGBTQ community to come together and support the transgender community amid ongoing legal battles and violence.
“Seeing how our community’s being affected right now, with all the legislation, how trans women of color are being murdered at an alarming rate, I think that’s something that we really need to focus on as a community and band together,” she says.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ actor Jake Borelli talks growing in his queerness
“Grey’s Anatomy” star Jake Borelli viewed Pride Month as a celebration when he was younger. But after publicly coming out in 2018 and spending more time in queer spaces with a variety of queer people, he had time to reflect on what Pride is really about.
“As I’ve grown in my queerness, and my relationship to my own queerness, I know wholeheartedly that it’s a riot, and it is a protest,” the actor, who plays Dr. Levi Schmitt, says. “At this point in my queerness, I feel like I can’t allow myself to stand anymore for the negative way society has made me feel about my queerness and Pride and Pride Month, and Pride gatherings.”
The absence of physical queer spaces during the pandemic forced him to think even deeper.

“That caused me to start thinking a lot more introspectively about what it means to be queer and what growing up as a gay person surrounded by straight people really actually did to my psyche in the long term, and I’ve found myself having to re-parent myself right now as as a queer man, re-parenting my younger queer self,” he says.
He’s been to a host of different Pride celebrations in his life, from Los Angeles and New York to his hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
“It was such an incredible experience to go back to my hometown where I was fully closeted, and didn’t feel like I could be my full self and to see that there was an entire group of people who were pushing forward in Columbus for the queer community and had been forever,” he says.
His advice for queer people going on similar journeys as himself?
“Be patient with yourself and everyone who’s around you,” he says with a laugh. “I have to remind myself that every day.”
Leyna Bloom talks Pride Month, how she celebrates ‘every single day’
“Port Authority” star Leyna Bloom recently opened up to USA TODAY in a Q&A about how she celebrates Pride Month daily.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Leyna Bloom stars as Wye in the drama “Port Authority.”
“Pride is not just this time when we can explore things that are in us that we’re raised to suppress and now we’re taught to express it in the sun and in the streets and the world just for one month,” Bloom says. “It’s something that I have to do every single day of my life. I have to wake up and be proud that I’m alive and (ask) ‘Why am I here? And what am I doing here, and am I going to be able to help people?’
“Through all the most traumatic experiences in my life and in the world, seeds are being planted everywhere I go. And this summer 2021, everything is blooming at the same time: Sports Illustrated, movies, TV shows. It is really a moment to be Black, be queer, be trans, be Asian, so I’m just honestly going to celebrate every single day that I’m allowed to be alive to have those moments. So I’m really excited to see what else I can do and how we can elevate our community to unite.”
