Gay Innuendo and Random History Diversions

Kill the censor in your head.

Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.

Amazing

thank you

You genuinely don't even have to change very much besides the proper nouns and historical references. His heart is in the coffin there with Lianfang-zun. :(

Friends, masters, common men, lend me your ears; I come to bury Xiandu, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Xiandu. Great Hanguang-jun Hath told you Xiandu was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Xiandu answer'd it. Here, under leave of both Twin Jades of Lan-- For Zewu-jun's an honourable man; So are they both, both honourable men-- Come I to speak in Xiandu's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Hanguang-jun says he's ambitious; And Hanguang-jun's an honourable man. He hath built many towers in your towns Whose presence does the general public guard: Did this in Xiandu seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Xiandu hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Hanguang-jun said he's ambitious; And Hanguang-jun's an honourable man. You all did see that through his too-brief reign He wore the scholar's cap and not a crown, To show he lived to serve: was this ambition? Yet Hanguang-jun says he's ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Wangji spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Xiandu, And I must pause till it come back to me.

thank you

Girl that's exactly why they close down after a year. You NEED money to keep these places open. There's no magic Gay Money Pot with endless cash to keep these places open. It requires YOU to put your money where your values are!!

And it made it about 2 years before shutting down completely. Because all those young people who begged for a place exactly like this would just show up, not buy a single thing, and leave. You cannot build a community without putting your money into it. This isn't about capitalism, this is just reality. You can't open a restaurant where no one buys your food. You can't have a gay bar that only serves 5% of the population and actively excludes everyone else. This is what I mean when I say people confuse "community" and "friend group." You're not obligated to spend money when hanging out with your friend group. But if you want a lasting community centered space, you need to open up that wallet.

No "no one" you have to answer. Also please reblog.

they are married.
