Wow y'all really have Kim out here thinking that this is all her fault. That she deserved to be dragged out of her bed in the middle of the night, tied up, and thrown into a bathtub scared for her life, because of her wealth. 

Sage Sohier chronicled the love of gay couples in the 1980s in her collection At Home With Themselves. Spurred by the AIDS crisis and the media representations of promiscuity and disease in the community, the project aimed to dispel stereotypes about gay love and showcase lesbian and gay couples of all ages, backgrounds and proclivities, capturing a visual that often went unseen.

“I was interested in how, as a culture, we weren’t used to looking at two men touching, and was struck by the visual novelty yet total ordinariness of these same-sex relationships.

2. Shout out to fellow child of a gay dad! People don’t talk about us much, but we exist. Thankfully, the whole closeted business happens less and less these days, and kids of gay parents tend to be via the aid of science and happiness, not repression and concealment. As happy that I am for the kids today being born into a much more accepting world, I sometimes feel … I don’t know, like people like me will be forgotten in history, glossed over to jump right to the happy kids born via surrogacy and joy. It’s an odd thing and nobody really ever talks about people like me in these conversations. Not even the “think of the children!!!” conservative assholes. We’re the awkward problem nobody wants to talk about.

The Arabic reads: “How are we celebrating Eid this year?”

This picture shows the evolution of the Syrian conflict, from peaceful protests (2011), to regime forces (2012), to rebel gains (2013), and to the rise of Islamic State (2014).
