Homosexuality is not against nature.
More than 500 species are known to practice same-sex coupling.
Religion is against nature.
No other animal practices it.
2 weeks ago today I had to say goodbye to my sweet baby girl, and my closest companion. 16.5 years of unconditional, consistent love. Dutchess, in this heaviest grief, the only light I see is your love.
I was so lucky to be her person. I miss her so much. So so much 💔🕊️
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through a fungal network. Where octopuses dream.
Where elephants return to the bones of the deceased and stand over them in silence. Where bees use dance to communicate where to fly and where the flower is.
Where crows remember the faces of people who were cruel to them and pass this memory to their children.
Where ants build cities. Where cats purr at a frequency that accelerates the healing of bones.
Where, after a forest fire, the first thing the earth does is grow flowers.
Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped.
Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped.
Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.
Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.
Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.
Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
“you can be friends with someone even if you disagree with their lifestyle”
being gay IS NOT a lifestyle
being trans IS NOT a lifestyle
being a filthy roach and waking up every day to spread hatred IS a lifestyle.. but who wants to be friends with someone like that
The Constitution does NOT give you rights. You already have them.
The Constitution simply tells the government that it cannot take those rights away.
I wish more people understood this.
It’s so hard, guys. To stay “positive” in this world, in this country. To have come so far, and go so, so, so far back. I’m so sorry. It’s not even fun to be a rebel anymore. We are rebellious now because of our empathy, because of our acknowledgement of inequity, of injustice.
