CLIFF watches her for a
moment then goes back to cutting. They work together in total
silence for a while. CLIFF stops then and looks at HEFINA
again. She doesn’t look up. He smiles, then returns to his
pile.

Pride (2014) dir. Matthew Warchus

“Straight couples shouldn’t be at pride”

Well uh…

1.) one or both of people you see as a “straight couple” could be pan/bi/poly/ace

2.) one or both of them could be trans or non binary

3.) you could be misgendering someone

4.) They could be there to give moral support to a queer friend or family member who didn’t want to go alone.

Number four is important

5. They could be there because they support the cause stop fucking gatekeeping

6. They could be there in memory of a loved one, don’t forget Pride used to be a memorial as well as a celebration. I know a good number of straight people who go to Pride to celebrate the lives of friends and family who have died because they want to remember them as they lived, happy and joyful and surrounded by a community that loved them.

ALL OF THE FUCKING ABOVE.

This weekend, activists in Uganda – a country where homosexuality is punishable by death – held their first Pride. 

This is the epitome of courage. I have no other words. 

this is making me tear up holy shit

This makes me soo fucking proud most of us in places like Nigeria and Uganda especially northern Nigeria, the punishment by law is getting stoned to death if you show any signs of being gay. This makes me sad that Me and thousands of others can’t be themselves but still, this is so FUCKING beautiful I am proud of the people of my African continent!

I just want to make it clear that the photo was taken, and the first Ugandan Pride was held, in 2012. Five years later they’re still celebrating Pride. Despite the fact that they face police raids and arrests, they’ve made this an annual event. 

This is heroic

The bravery on display here ❤
