[Deaf Queer Resource Center @deafqueer]

"The vast majority of Deaf stories focus on heterosexual cisgender white people. Perhaps this is because they are largely told by able-bodied filmmakers who seem to think that a character simply being Deaf is diverse enough."

[King Jojo @josephineopar]

"You see an openly queer woman of color, an Afro-Latina, who found her strength and life through art. And that is, I think, what we’re here to celebrate. So if anyone has ever questioned your identity, I promise you this — there is indeed a place for us.” — Ariana DeBose #Oscar🎉

Representation in mainstream entertainment is undeniably important due to the broad reach it has, but… now more than ever, we should be promoting & uplifting queer INDIE films/filmmakers who are doing FAR more for the community than those who continually kowtow to conservatives.

Pixar employees make stunning accusation: Disney censors the studio’s films

“We at Pixar have personally witnessed beautiful stories, full of diverse characters, come back from Disney corporate reviews shaved down to crumbs of what they once were.” Story: https://t.co/J7VikhFiB9

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

While we are extremely grateful for the support we’ve been getting, we understand that other media outlets in Ukraine have been less lucky.

That’s why our partners launched a new global fundraising campaign to help independent Ukrainian media.

Who are your favorite queer filmmakers?

[Pride Reads Drew🏳️‍🌈 @druzif]

Nope. Why?
