Every year I try to think of something insightful or empowering to post on the anniversary of the worst night of my life and so many others, but I don’t think anything I could say would send the message better than this photo I took last night at 2am, exactly ten years later.
Always found this 1977 David Hockney portrait of his parents quite touching. The smile on his mother's face and the kindness in her eyes speak volumes about the special relationship between gay boys and their mums. RIP to a great artist and a leading light in queer pop culture.
Ten years ago on June 12, 2016: the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
As a queer 16 yr old at the time, it was the first time I really felt the weight of my identity.
The 49 names of the lives lost that night will ride with me this week at Pocono. 🏳️🌈
