Daddy's Army
@daddysarmy.bsky.social
Daddy’s Army is a bold, heartfelt, and unapologetically queer reimagining of the beloved classic Dad’s Army. Set in modern-day Blackpool, this sharp-witted comedy follows five LGBTQ+ misfits who, form an Army at Home.

I think we've forgot what they sounded like 80 years ago when they were coming for us.
If you weren't around back then, this is all part of the dehumanising process
What you thought were your rights can flip on a dime
Today For Me. Tomorrow For Thee.
Equality for All or Equality for None❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🤍

I’m bringing Joy back!
Joy joyous joyously joyousness 😍
I’m flipping joyless into joyful 🥳
It might feel like a joyless time when all we see is what divides us
I’m choosing to focus on the joyfulness that unites us.
Today is another day in paradise
I'm upright and breathing and that is PURE JOY!

Today, on World AIDS Day
I remember my sister, Michael Beecham SRN
A nurse, a carer, a fighter, and a light for so many
His compassion lives on in every life he touched, and his memory continues to inspire me
For all we’ve lost, for all we honour, and for all we continue to fight for
we remember🕯️❤️🏳️‍🌈

It's not about gay or straight feminine or masculine
It's about being your authentic self.
I know some very feminine men who are straight and I know some bad ass masculine men who can kill it in heels 👠
Just Be You
The rest of yas, find your lane of self Love and Live it proudly and authentically ❤️
James and Dani are rewriting the rules of what a straight couple looks like.

Here with my Drag Mother Lily Savage at the Porchester Ball in London circa 1982
Lily went as a dominatrix and at 18 I went dressed as Lily's maid.
We were joined by no other than Regina Fong and snapped for this book Men In Frocks.
I was fortunate to have found family that cared for their youngest.

I watched Quentin Tarantino's movie 'Inglorious Basterds'
It's quite dramatic to say the least.
Our version would have been directed by Quentin Crisp and equally if not more Dramatic!
We wouldn't scalp anyone we'd fix it and tease it maybe add some highlights to frame the face.

True Unconditional Love.
Parenting isn't about just loving your own, but it's about loving everyone else's children as if they were your own.
Know that the love and respect you give your child is the same love and respect you should extend to others.
We are after all..
Family.

Lest We Forget
Those hero's fighting for our freedom weren't selective who they were fighting for, because they were fighting for all of us as a country, and all of us were in that fight with everyone else.
Lest We Forget.

It’s like we’re heading back to the 80s, but without the incredible soundtrack.
Enough already.
We’re all just human. Just human.
Each of us is living this lifetime for the first time.
When did you get to shape my experience?
We’re surrounded by hurting people, who end up hurting others.

Daddy's Army is the place to share your story, your journey and your dreams.
It's a center of unity, community and compassion.
Voices from our past echo today all around us. We can change the narrative by sharing what it is to be human and all the challenges we face.
There are few people who understand the impact of storytelling better than Judy Shepard, mother of Matthew Shepard.

Judy’s advocacy helped lead to the passage of the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Our stories can change hearts, minds, and policy. Tell yours: hrc.im/MillionVoices

Serving your country means defending every citizen, no matter who they are.
Service is open to all.
When we unite to protect and uplift each other, nobody is left behind. We all belong, we all serve, and together we are stronger.
To all who serve and protect I am truly thankful and grateful.

I Just Did! 🥳
I've joined my first political party in over 40 yrs.
From the age of 18 to my 60's I’ve never voted once.
No one ever earned it.
My vote is that precious.
I've joined a movement of like minded people
If the Green Party was a soup, it would be colourful flavourful and full of Soul ❤️

It's time to come together as one huge collective army to protect our safety and freedoms.
It's like medieval times out there.
Next week we will be having the Salem witch trials again.
How far back do we have to go?

I'm inspired by Greta Thunberg and @zackpolanski.bsky.social at the moment.
Different genders, ages, nationalities and yet speaking one distinct message.
A free and fair society that cares for each other and the environment we all share equally.
Common Sense Really :)

Variety Is The Spice Of Life 😍
Thank you for giving me and others a shared voice Zack.
Finally a message of unity and justice.
You are very much appreciated.
Your values are for basic humanity to all.
A voice without hate or prejudice.
Sounds a lot like the England I'm happy to call home.
PEACE 🤟

This is not intended for those happily living either a semi or fully closeted life.
Nor for those forced into the closet through fear and intimidation.
This is for those who are trapped by belief, self shame and fear.

In Daddy's Army, the character Aryan, is a LGBTQ+ refugee, who once allied as an interpreter for the forces.
Stay or flee.
It's a matter of life and death decision making.
It's a lived experience no one should have to endure just to exist.
