This is wonderful. The girl in the background made the blonde girl’s desktop background a picture of her holding a sign that said “Hi there. So um…Will you be my girlfriend?” while she was in the bathroom. This is the girl’s response. Made my day.
This is adorable.

This is incredible.
imnotthatgay: Attention Everyone: Stop what you are doing and watch this video. This is Rise Against’s new music video for “Make It Stop,” which is about the LGBT suicides that occured in September. I hope to see lots of people reblogging this inspirational piece of art. It Gets Better. http://www.itgetsbetter.org/
I’ve always loved Rise Against, and this just fuels that feeling.

Goosebump-inducing.

“By the time my mother finally found the words to call me her gay daughter, I was searching for the nerve to describe the son in my eyes, the shadow of the boy I might be or the boy I might still love, for the official gay record.”
“I do not wear a welcome mat on my chest just so you can walk all over it.”
“I can guarantee that a haircut will never tell you anything about someone’s gender, who they love or how they fuck, but I’ve been growing out my short temper for the next time I have the ‘opportunity’ to tell someone in my queer community, look, I am about as butch as a Swedish male figure skater, as for dyke, I will happily dance in that music box for tonight, but tomorrow, when I pull the word ‘faggot’ from the shotgun of a fratboy’s mouth…”
Ok, I could quote the whole thing, but watch, this is one of my favourites.
“For every holy knuckle gender bent trans kid.”
