india just passed an anti trans bill, trans people were banned from the olympics, and a black trans woman was just murdered in the united states and people somehow care more about promoting their wizard show that is directly funding transphobes to kill us and take our rights away
In 1948, James Peterson was lobotomized for being gay. His parents committed him after discovering his love for another man. The asylum labeled it "sexual perversion" and "treated" him with a transorbital lobotomy-ice picks hammered above his eye sockets into his frontal lobe. It took just 15 minutes, but it erased his vibrant, artistic spirit forever. The doctor assured his parents: "Your son's perversion is corrected." What returned was an empty shell. no desires, no passions, not even for life. Entry wounds above his eyes, a vacant stare where intelligence once shone.
The doctor notes: "Patient calm, no deviant interests. Success." But that "calm" was brain damage; the "success" was personality murder. James never painted, laughed, or loved again. He lived 46 more years in a group home, a hollow routine without preferences or joy, dying in 1994 at 74. His parents visited once, saw the void they'd created, and never came back. To them, a son who was nothing beat one who was gay. This event wasn't isolated. Churches offered their own brutal
"treatments" to "fix" homosexuality. In the 1970's, Brigham Young University (BYU), tied to the Mormon Church, subjected gay students to electroshock aversion therapy—zapping them while showing same-sex images, conditioning pain with desire.
Other faiths pushed exorcisms to cast out "demons," or intense prayer sessions claiming to pray away the gay, often leading to self-harm or suicide. These weren't cures; they were trauma disguised as salvation.
We've come far-conversion therapy is banned in many places, and love is increasingly celebrated. But remember James and countless others: their stories fuel our fight for dignity. No one should be "treated" for being themselves.
Matthew Lillard on if Billy & Stu are gay
“If there's a kid out there that needs [Billy and Stu] to be gay because they're a horror fan, and that somehow makes them feel seen, then I will stand chest-out and say they're two gay young men and there's nothing you can f*cking do about it.”
protect bad writing !! let people write fics with weird grammar and stupid long sentences ! let people write crack fics, chatfics and stupid shit that doesn't make sense !! let people write unbelievable plots ! it's part of the fun and y'all are BORING for shitting on fic writers
the best part of early spn is they leaned HARD on the core themes of gothic horror. sexualized horror, predation, obscured or unnatural family ties, architecture and nature as a character itself. We're SUPPOSED to feel repulsed by this and his insinuations. I miss it
