Went to QUEER BRITAIN - a museum that opened in January 2022. They have this wonderful guest wall. If you’re in London visit them in King’s Cross and show them some love! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

June is Gay Pride Month. The monthlong celebration can seem like an excuse for companies to drape themselves in rainbows in order to sell, sell, sell. However, Pride was actually born out of a 1969 protest at Stonewall Inn in New York when ordinary people took it upon themselves to stand up against unjust police action and the “Public Morals Squad.” (Yep, that was a real thing.) In the process, a queer liberation movement was ignited. The moral of the story: There’s an incredible power in collective action. Which is why this month we want to introduce you to five LGBTQ+ leaders using their positions to create lasting change. While their fields are diverse, including entertainment, documentation, and education, their mission and impact are powerful. Read on to meet the ordinary people turned changemakers who are creating spaces for the LGBTQ+ community (and allies!) to thrive.
(via 5 LGBTQ+ Leaders You Should Know)

This is what happen when people take the 'your brain doesn't mature till 25' pop-sci too literally and just ran with it, also transphobia

I am going to be watching this debate so anxiously and do you know why queer education is so important? It creates acceptance early on so there will be less homophobic people in our next generation (exactly what the homophobes fear).
Let me tell you a story: when I was 10 or so, we did a unit on Diversity. This included learning about being LGBTQ+, and it was what got me to realise my own sexuality and some gender things that I’m still working out. The people who weren’t queer learned to be accepting too. The next year, it was removed, and I noticed a huge difference in attitudes between people who didn’t get to do the unit, and the people who learnt acceptance.

KJ Charles has breathtaking range. And it's all so organically diverse and vivid and excellently paced and clever.
Doomsday books -- Smugglers of Romney Marsh in 1810–20s in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars.
Society of Gentlemen -- Clash between the royalist establishment and radical republicans in the last years of Regency.
Sins of the Cities -- Small businesses and trade of the Industrial Revolution in London's immigrant quarter (taxidermy of all things!), Victorian spiritualists and musical hall artists in the 1870s.
Lillywhite Boys -- London criminal underworld, bluestocking feminists, private detectives, colonial gem trade, the rise of industrialists in the 1890s, and pre-Victorian folk Christmas traditions.
Charm of Magpies -- Shanghai traders and Chinese immigrant communities of London in the late 1800s.
England World -- Nascent British intelligence agencies and new technology in the shadow of the Boer War in the 1890s + integration of Indian nobles from its last kingdoms with elite British society + classism and xenophobia in British antisemitism
Will Darling Adventures -- The reverberating social, political and economic changes from the aftermath of WWI and further development of intelligence organisations during the 1920s.
Just finished Band Sinister, which touched on Hellfire Clubs, the emergence of new medicine, atheism, and challenge Creationism from the fields of natural science, and Black British life before abolition. Currently reading Unfit to Print, which seems to be about London's underground pornography trade with character focus on the shared plight of Black and Indian immigrants from the colonies and their mixed race offspring. Charles's body of work really brings home that the 19th century was a full hundred years long and the distinct character of every decade. And that the real and authentic history of Britain had people of every race, religion, colour, disability, neurodiversity, gender and sexuality who have been deliberately erased by the same power structures that kept them disenfranchised and ghettoed back then.

I appreciate and understand the love for Dead Poets Society in the Marauder-era fandom. The aesthetic is immaculate.
As a Brit and an older fan I would like to make a public service announcement that you're all sleeping on The History Boys. And would encourage everyone to go watch it.
#mauraders#wolfstar#the marauders#dead gay wizards#history boys#the history boys#marauder era#marauder coded#this film is a more accurate representation of the British school experience#plus it's a queer classic#the dialogue is *chefs kiss*#the performances are amazing#the references to art and film and music and literature are 10/10#public service announcement#alan bennett is incredible#give it a go#examines class and education in Britain#the film soundtrack is also amazing#is also more diverse than dead poets society
