Is Everything Alright? Predicting What Happens After The Series Finale Of 'Love, Victor'
**This article contains spoilers for season 3 of the Hulu series, 'Love, Victor'** Love, Victor debuted on Hulu back in 2020 and serves as a follow-up to the 2018 LGBTQ+ film, Love, Simon. The show exists in the same world and follows Victor, a Latino teen who comes to terms with his sexuality after moving to Georgia from Texas. In the show's three seasons, we've had a lot of comedy and teen drama packed into the series and have now had to say goodbye as the series finale just dropped on Hulu last week.

Pride Playlist
It's Pride Month, and it's been a while since I made a playlist article, so I figured that this was well overdue. Disclaimer: none of the songs listed here were actually intended to be Gay Anthems, but no-body who listened to them came away thinking "Oh, yes, totally about best friends/a straight couple/fitting in..."

Hermit's Kingdom
If you're new here: This is a blog series giving LGBTQIA+ people's perspectives on the Tarot cards. Tarot is a set of symbols added on to a deck of playing cards, depicting a spiritual journey, to be used for meditation or fortune telling. Catch up with the characters we've met on the journey so far by clicking on these links for The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot, and Strength. The particular version that's thought of today as the basic traditional Tarot, from which the myriad of decks are influenced and inspired, was drawn by mixed race bisexual lady Pamela "Pixie" Colman Smith, whose insights I'm sure made it into this art commission given her by straight white men, whatever their expectations of her might have been. So I've asked LGBTQIA+ Tarot users in online groups to give me their viewpoints on the cards, and the result is this series of blogs.

The Truth About Rainbow Capitalism
On June 28, 1969, queer activist Marsha P. Johnson helped lead the Stonewall Uprising in Lower Manhattan, an event which sparked gay liberation in the 1960's and 70's. In 70's New York City, the first of an annual gay liberation march occurred, honouring the events of Stonewall. Since then, every June marks a month of visibility and remembrance within the global LGBTQIA+ community and its allies.

It's hard to have a Gaytime on your own
It’s not what you think. Unless you’re from Australia and know that a Gaytime isn’t just Pride month or an LTBGI statement but summer on a stick. Creamy coldness of vanilla with the burnt sweetness of toffee, melting on your tongue while your teeth crunch the honeycomb biscuit and the thin layer of chocolate. It’s 104 in the shade and you couldn’t be happier, having a gay old time at the beach.

PRIDE in a Small Town
I haven’t lived there in more than 32 years, but today I am so very PROUD to share the PRIDE that I have in my hometown of St. Johns, Michigan. This weekend, the small, rural, Midwestern, agricultural town where I grew up (population 7920,) hosted their second annual PRIDEFEST!

Logos are not enough
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that many companies have felt compelled to acknowledge that the LGBTQIA+ community exists at all. It is encouraging that it even happens. In fact, that was where I started in my own thinking about acknowledging pride month. Let’s make a logo and be visibly supportive of our fellow humans, but the more we discussed it, the more I realized it wasn’t really the kind of contribution that I wanted to make. It’s too easy. It’s too little. It’s not about colorful logos gracing email signatures for one month out of the year. This is more important. It’s about fostering a culture that acknowledges that our differences are our strengths, our similarities are catalysts, and keeping our focus on what matters for the task at hand.

What's In A Name?
Josey isn't my birth name. Sometimes it confuses people, why did I change it? What's wrong with the name I had? People from my past have a hard time adjusting to the name change and using it for themselves. Sometimes they slip, but for the most part, everyone tries, even if they don't quite understand WHY. I spent most of my life under a different name, and my adult life under a nickname that would become my new first name. I get how it can be a difficult adjustment, but I also try to be open about why when people get critical.

A Simple Summer Dress
Again, I’ve done it again. I’ve lost count of the many renditions of this accounting. Writing it all down, only to delete the whole thing. My courage evaporating like the morning mist. Why must it be this way? What is it that causes me to, time and time again, deny myself the freedom that I desire so very much?
