witness me, old man, i am the wild

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

I want to hold everyone's hand here and say, if someone on here says something that specifically targets another queer group that person should not be entertained. This goes for discourse regarding gender identity, labels and self expression, race, feminism and so on.

We do not need to play minority Olympics, everyone has their own individual experiences and arguing which amorphous group got it "the worst" Is nothing but reductive.

Mark Kanemura is a professional dancer, choreographer and social media personality. He has appeared in multiple TV shows, such as “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Glee”. Kanemura has also appeared on many in many music videos from Janet Jackson to Lady Gaga. in recent years he has gathered a large following of people on instagram with many of his posts going viral, including the video above.

Kanemura’s posts going viral is hugely positive example of visibility. When people see something represented in media they have a better grasp of that community and the people within it. While most gay men in media are portrayed as sad, lonely, or rude; Kanemura’s posts show a happy, lively and proud energy that is just infectious.

Kanemura’s video above became an internet sensation, so big that it caught the eye of Carly Rae Jepsen, who wrote the song that was featured in Kanemura’s video above. Jepsen, or her team I’m assuming, reached out to Kanemura and danced in her tour. This not only makes the gay community more visible but features a gay artist that embraces the gay community in a positive way.

Below is a video of a Carly Rae Jepsen concert featuring Mark Kanemura.

The calf is still calling for her as the dark slides away across the fields

And the farmer strokes her neck

And he tells her it'll be alright, because his daughter has a soft heart, and she feeds the orphans and the rejects with a bottle made from a milk jug, and she only cries a little when he takes them to the cattle sale

And he never will know what happened to that one heifer

And for the rest of his life it will come back to him while he's mending fences or driving steers into the pens or lying in his bed in the wakeful, watchful dark

One of those mysteries that will never be solved

Just forgotten

And he won't connect his missing cow with the lights they saw in the sky two towns over

Or the boy who wandered off by the river

Who they found 20 miles away, barefoot, confused

Or that one place out on the back roads where the clock in his truck always jumps a few minutes ahead

And the radio goes fuzzy and distorted

And the static sounds a little bit like his mother's voice

Saying that he has a soft heart

And he'll never know that in the dark that night

The stars drifted into strange new shapes

And a wind came up from nowhere

And he'll never know

That even as the cow rose into the sky, lifted by a shining silver disc

That she was not afraid

Because she finally knew how to fly
