It is fat and queer and body positive and beautiful and everybody NEEDS TO WATCH! I didn’t think I’d like it based on the description and concept but my mum put it in and I cried happy happy tears at the end! There are fat girls (plural!!!) being confident and insecure and and learning and growing! There is a (or more than one?) queer kiddo making friends and finding a community! There are drag queens!!! Being queer and fabulous and wonderful aunts and uncles to their semi-adopted weird kids. And a really sweet mum and daughter learning to understand and accept each other. And a DOLLY PARTON SOUND TRACK OH MY GOD ITS GOOD!

LE MYSTÈRE DE LÀ TOUR EIFFEL
It’s a french murder mystery and it contains two beautiful women who have to solve it together.
Everybody pause your discussions about white men in androgynous clothing for a second and look at Ranveer Singh, a brown bollywood actor absolutely SMASHING it in these outfits for Vogue India

Just a reminder to native lgbt people that our cultures had no biases against lgbt people until colonialism. You are not betraying you roots by being who you are

This legit makes me want to cry because I have *never* seen a picture of an older trans man naked. It’s always young guys, usually much younger than me. It’s like we don’t have a future, an adulthood, a middle age, an old age. It’s like we just stop.
As a trans man who’s well past the age (and transition status) of ~sexxay tranz boiz~, pictures like this give me some kind of hope. We’re not just one image stuck in time, snapshot of a skinny white andro urban-queer young trans dude with perfect top surgery scars, poster boys for young radical queerdom. We’re not all Youth. We live in more than two dimensions, and one of them is time.
Older queers tend to fall off the map full stop. Trans people, even more so. But we don’t disappear once we stop being, basically, fashionable. Supporting our young people is important, but we need to show them we have a future, too.
I literally cannot envision my own future. There are no images of older men like me.
One image obviously can’t address all the lacks in representation, much less one image of a hot skinny (apparently?) white man. But just to have that one extra factor in there, of age, it’s – it’s important.
More, please.
uhhh if you are so into the photo how about you mention the photographer!? this is jess dugan’s work.
this is literally the best thing i’ve seen in years
This is exactly the kind of stuff I need to keep seeing. The future can seem like it will never come. Like maybe I don’t have one. Seeing pictures like this if someone who looks a little like what I may look like in 35 years just gives me a lot of hope.
