I've been so busy with Utah Pride events this past weekend that I haven't had a chance to post more DC Pride BTS. Here is the first page of the Connor Hawke short from @sammaggs.bsky.social @erenangiolini.bsky.social & me. My inks. Eren's incredible colors. Had a blast trying to make it "90s!"

DC PRIDE 2025 is out TOMORROW. Here's a little peek at my style sheets for Connor Hawke from the story @sammaggs.bsky.social @erenangiolini.bsky.social and I did. @whattheshea.bsky.social hit me up to draw an EXTREME 90s-style version for this story, and I've never felt more seen!
Versions of Connor Hawke Green Arrow - modern, 90s, and Green Arrow classic - each more insanely 90s EXTREME style.

Particular shout out to @definitelyvita.bsky.social / @skyepatridge.bsky.social 's Renee story and @sammaggs.bsky.social / Derek Charm's Midnight era and Apollo story. One broke my gay little heart and the other healed it by absolutely cracking me up

I had a wonderful time tonight at the DC Pride 2025 event held at The Ripped Bodice in Culver City, featuring @nicoleamaines.bsky.social, @sammaggs.bsky.social, and some other lovely creators who I’m not as familiar with (yet).

In addition to the new Pride special, I also got the Dreamer OGN.

Do you think K*roline L*avitt understands that she's Serena Joy? Does she think she's going to be the exception to the rule, is she THAT power-hungry, or is she just functionally illiterate like all "the curtains are just blue" anti-arts conservatives? I wonder this every time I see a video of her.

if you told these people about he/him lesbians their fucking heads would explode
evanurquhart.bsky.social Evan Urquhart @evanurquhart.bsky.social · Apr 16
Going through the For Some Women decision, and something I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is that the court took it upon itself to define lesbians in a way that excludes some cis lesbians and includes some straight trans men.
Accordingly, a person with same sex orientation as a lesbian must be a female who is sexually oriented towards (or attracted to) females, and lesbians as a group are females who share the characteristic of being sexually oriented to females. This is coherent and understandable on a biological understanding of sex. On the other hand, if a GRC under section 9(1) of the GRA 2004 were to alter the meaning of sex under the EA 2010, it would mean that a trans woman (a biological male) with a GRC (so legally female) who remains sexually oriented to other females would become a same sex attracted female, in other words, a lesbian. The concept of sexual orientation towards members of a particular sex in section 12 is rendered meaningless. It would also affect the composition of the groups who share the same sexual orientation (because a trans woman with a GRC and a sexual orientation towards women would fall to be treated as a lesbian) in a similar way as described above in relation to women and girls.
