Meet the faces of the “I’m Sorry” campaign, a group of Christians who go to Chicago’s pride celebrations every year to apologize for their past hateful actions against LGBT people. The group started in 2010 and has since moved to other cities across the world. This is what love looks like. (via the Advocate)
I think freedom of sexuality is something that we all need and very few of us have
I think sexual pleasure is a legitimate thing to want and ethically pursue
I do not judge people for the (consensual) sex that they have or want
I will not tolerate slut-shaming
I will not tolerate hatred of people based on gender or orientation (including asexual)
I will not tolerate hatred of sex workers
I believe comprehensive, honest, non-judgmental sex education is necessary for public health and happiness
I think understanding of sexual consent–what it is, why it matters–is sorely lacking in society and crucially important
I reject preconceptions of what kind of sexuality a person should have, whether these preconceptions are based on gender, age, culture, disability, survivor status, or basically anything else
I value people’s individual freedom of choice in determining their sex lives (including the choices not to have sex)
What I Don’t Mean
Everyone should have sex
Everyone should have kinky, non-monogamous, exhibitionistic, pansexual sex
Accepting someone’s sexuality means you have to participate in it, watch them engage in it, or hear about it in detail
Just remember, folks, and this is why honestly I don’t care:
It’s FANTASY, not REALITY.
By the FANS, for the FANS.
We can dream and write and desire whatever the fuck we want.
But don’t fall into the celebrity gossip quicksand. Fuck the fame monster and respect their privacy. They owe us NOTHING. They can live in their reality; and we can indulge in our fantasy.
Just don’t blur the two.
Don’t like what you see? Don’t look. Wish them well and choose your own level of interest. Remember, it’s not about their reality; it’s not even about them, per se. In reality, we are the eternal audience. In fantasy, we can choose our own interest, express ourselves in any way we want. But don’t cross the streams.
Be a fan if you want. Throw up your hands in despair and walk away from it if you want. Log off, take a break, reality check, whatever. But be a responsible, sane fan, and keep it safe.
Tilda Swinton risked arrest waving a rainbow flag in front of the Kremlin in violation of Russia’s new homosexual propaganda bill. And she wants everyone who can to reblog it in solidarity.
Guys please reblog this, it won’t ruin your blog, this is important
