there's too much animosity towards queer people who want to practice their faith/spirituality, both within their respective religions and within the LGBTQIA+ community.
we need to protect and lift up our queer siblings of faith.
our queer Christians.
our queer Jews.
our queer Muslims.
our queer Hindus.
our queer Buddhists.
our queer Sikhs.
our queer Baháʼís.
our queer Wiccans/Pagans.
our queer Shintos.
our queer siblings of indigenous/folk faiths.
our queer SBNR siblings.
our queer siblings of whatever religion/spiritual systems they observe.
you're all beautiful and valid and loved and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 💖

every time i see someone exclude, mock or ignore queer religious people's existence (whether from bigoted religious people or bigoted queer people) i think it should be perfectly acceptable for us to punch them in the face for that

Queering Shinran
"Shinran, a radical thirteenth-century Japanese monk, exile, and refugee, founded the Jodo Shinshu tradition. A people’s Buddhism, it was specially created to be a way of including those who are marginalized and oppressed in dominant society. Considering the queerness in Shinran’s life and teaching allows us to rethink inclusivity as a fundamental Buddhist practice."

this richard siken discourse is so unserious to me but i just know ocean vuong is next on the hitlist… luv him but that connecticut asian is inevitably going to say smthing so out of pocket in the next yr or so and it will be a killing blow to the diaspora poets’ rb industrial complex 💀💀💀
#yale/nyu/brown asian american studies will simply not recover#he’s a buddhist connecticut asian too… i just know stupid will come out of his mouth during the a24 press tour#him and his white queer dom bf… it’s coming! 😭#i cannot emphasize how underwhelming yet unhinged his visit to tufts was this past spring too#qq

I think so many usamerican atheists forget that Jesus is still a Christian character no matter how much your blorbo-fy him. I don’t care if you think he was queer or whatver, you’re still regurgitating Christian beliefs and pretending they’re secular.
like I’m sorry but this is genuinely foul. this isn’t blorbo from your shows it’s a Christian icon associated with oppression. get help.
#the amount of posts I see where some 22 year old queer brings up Jesus and denies being religious....#saying Jesus was gay was funny maybe the first 2-3 times. still Christian iconography no matter how hard you try to remove him sorryyyyy#a day in the life of steeve#this is from that my Buddhist gf post or whatver. dont recommend reading the notes.

Brown Boy Beautiful and the Polychrome Antiquities
"Athens was never white but her statues, bereft of color, have conditioned the artistic sensibilities of Europe… the whole past has reached us colorless." (André Malraux). All of the marble sculptures, bronze statues, and ornamental architecture of ancient Greece and Rome were originally painted with many vibrant colors and elaborate patterns. Blank, unadorned sculptures became the norm of the western canon during the Renaissance, when the church sought to redefine its realm and its peoples under a single subcontinental identity built on shared classical foundations. This myth of paleness as divinity, purity, beauty, and authority is so pervasive that most of us absorb its message unknowingly as children and some of us never unlearn it (see Clark doll test, 1940 - present)

not me adding literal buddhist monk shaolin masters to my very short list of ppl I’ve ever strongly related to the philosophy/mentality/approach to life of oh boy
#anthony padilla#buddhist monks#philosophy#trans#Idk what this says abt me for any of you who don't know me that well yet lmao#but it is fascinating to me at least that between the discipline of language learning since childhood#my shonen protagonist energy and slight megalomania#and my nonbinary trans thoughts about physical change and self improvement etc etc etc#despite coming from such vastly different backgrounds (not just culturally just in the like- I'm a queer artist n educator n stuff#and they're literal monks in an organised religion/belief system)#we have still somehow arrived at so many similar not only beliefs but also just like ways of living and discipline and worldview#something something outsider perspective that queer people will be more prone to due to being an eternal minority in any part of the world#while ppl like monks/nuns take up the lifestyle they lead in order to alienate themselves from the rest of society for religion's sake#something something the historic connection between ppl who dedicate their life to religion (monks/nuns/priests/etc) and the queer community#and various cultures where genderqueer ppl's role is/was that of religious leaders#something something maybe in a changing world that is not as religious anymore we can still be advisors and wise ppl to consult#like I think that's literally the conclusion I've arrived at for my pitch to the feminists is#you will never truly manage to include us as equals for sheer numbers reasons so you might as well use us and our skills and insights#for the gender lib movement in other more distinct ways that neither need you to fully equate us to you nor to limit us to your part of it#pay the transfemmes to teach y'all coding karlie kloss can't do it all on her own#and pay me to come teach you abt transmasc inclusion and internalised misandry and the terfs#and you'll find plenty of use from having us around

growing up and really even to this day i have found that almost all of my friends. the friends with whom i get along particularly well, the friends i know and care about a lot. basically all of them are some form of religious and basically all of them are some form of queer, i would not have picked either one of these facts to be true before i started but here i am, c'est la vie
#love y'all#idk if i would identify as queer and i was never religious but was raised essentially. essentially everything minus the religion#'that's just because it's very common' i think the majority of australians don't have a religion actually#..... anyway#it is strange to be reminded but also not strange at all. love that you're living your lives in ways that make you happy#i am on the doc's page#if i believe in one thing i believe in my friends#💕#anyway the number of friends i have who never engaged with harry potter bc it had magic is#very high all things considered#dkfjdljkjh#update i checked the ABS on this and i am just wrong. fewer than half of australians are some form of christian but only 38-something#per cent identified no religion on the 2021 census#the others are other religions#the kids i tutor are buddhist. isn't that awesome?#10/10

ma'am if sucking jesus' dick every sunday could cure chemical imbalances I'd do a lot more than just visit a church
#satt speaks#like literally the SECOND she heard me say it (we were talking abt meds because she bought one of those pill sorters)#she was like 'do you go to church btw? you could come to our young adult group'#and like. asked my name and shit and was like 'ill see you sunday!!!' all excitedly and I was standing there like#yea sure you will okay#like lady. one. im queer. two. no?#just no#the fuck lol#I already deal with mormons on my fucking doorstep weekly bcs they wanna save me from being gay#like sometimes I entertain it for my own humor but after a while its just exhausting#I'm not even an atheist im fucking Buddhist lol#like. wha

whats with dudebro anime fans and getting so bent out of shape over the fact that queer people also like anime and can see it through a queer lens
#this is with dudebros getting bent out of shape that the hnk gems are genderless and are referred to with gender neutral pronouns#in the original text (boku) AND fan translations that use he and official sources that use they#its also baffling to me because hnk explores not only buddhist themes but also themes of expression and gender#ichikawa has written obviously queer stories before read her oneshots#you cannot separate exploration of gender and expression from hnk because it was BAKED into the text intentionally by Ichikawa
