If you are a voter in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District and also a fan of The Wire, I will, on evidence you voted today, pen a personal apology for having killed any character you cared for.
And yes, this assumes Wire fans do not vote for some cheese-eating supplicant to any tinpot dictator.

More than anything else, it really demonstrates a pivot from a conception of a queer community engaged in collective political action for the sake of all of us to one of individual queer people making individual decisions for each of their individual benefit.

The journey in 15 years from Milk (2008) winning an Oscar with “If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door” to Red White & Royal Blue’s “The forced conformity of the closet can not be answered with the forced conformity in coming out of it.” is depressing as fuck.

if someone takes your car cause you leave the keys in it for 20 minutes that is not stealing. that person just found a new car in a way that’s inconvenient for you.
There is something so deeply, deeply Minnesotan about these sorts of posts (which I see every winter). If you're from almost anywhere else and wondering if you're missing something: this person did in fact leave their car running, unlocked, keys in the ignition.

I *get* that people don’t want actors to feel pressured to disclose info about their private lives by fan with unhealthy parasocial relationships, but casting and the film industry are not a neutral space where out gay actors and straight actors have equal career opportunities

Suggesting that out gay actors shouldn’t be given opportunities to play gay characters over actors who present as straight because some of those straight actors *might* be in the closet and “discriminating” against straight men thus might harm closeted gay men too is the most pretzel logic ever.

Wanting out gay actors *who are discriminated against in the film industry because of homophobia* to be able to have roles in queer film is not *stigmatizing* the closet or harming closeted actors. Homophobia is doing that!

Depicting the reality of homophobia in professional sports and in repressive authoritarian countries is not a validation of the closet as something safe that needs to be valued and cherished. It’s a depiction of things that *we need to get rid of so that people are not forced to live in the closet*

Living in the closet is psychologically distressing, exhausting, painful and just generally shitty and those of us who are out know that *because we spent time in the closet and remember what it was like. It is not a bad thing to “romanticize” being able to be out and authentically yourself.

and like, no, I’m sorry. The closet is bad! The closet does not exist ~to protect queer people~. Whatever “protection” is provided by the closet is conditional upon having to constantly suppress who you are anywhere except for in private out of fear of homophobia & discrimination.
