Keep the rainbow up

And that's all for Pride Month. Insincere rainbows go back in boxes. Real rainbows don't.

Megan Rapinoe

Megan Rapinoe, fuck yeah

ZAP

Thunder! Lightning! Glad we didn't have Pride this weekend here!

God Control

Will a new Madonna video help gun safety?

You Need To Calm Down

Will the new Taylor Swift video help gay rights? With the fundraising and petition bit at the end, yes.

More than, let's say, a clothing company making Pride themed gear and not giving any of the proceeds to charity.

Bi on screen

Bisexuality on TV... apparently gets a smallish Wikipedia page.

Drag SOS

So, just in time for the end of Pride, Drag SOS attempts to bring dragging up for a day as an empowering thing (for all genders) to television. I'm kind of in the blind spot for the target audience here, I guess.

Hello AA!

A Pride discovery

The new rainbow makeup face paint multi-brushes are genius.

Pride

It was the Pride march here today. It was very nice, encouraging, big, friendly.

Midsummer

... and not currently raining.

Why more men should wear skirts

Does fashion advance? Er... sometimes.

(The Napoleonic jackets did become a thing in a few years, thanks to the Beatles. Less the full Regency...)

Another washed-out weekend done, another sunny week indoors...

Striking Vipers

Also from Black Mirror: Striking Vipers, a VR fighting game that brings two male friends into a "do you want to date my avatar?" situation.

How to be an ally

Thank you Brad Pitt!

The 75th anniversary of D-Day, a blow for freedom.

Straight Pride. Yikes.

Pridewashing

Always 'fun' to see rainbow drapery for companies and government departments with no history of helping, and especially a history of attacking.

Black Mirror is back

And yes, I would be electronic Miley Cyrus.

I am visiting, and in the closet where I am. wheeee.

June

Pride Month!
