#queerlove

Just for fun, all of 'em together. This was my original intent, since I've done it before, but felt they could all stand on their own.

The cool green lighting, black tailoring and drifting smoke give this portrait the atmosphere of a decadent cabaret or a half-remembered film noir. Franz Szony plays with theatrical masculinity through top hats, veiling, sharp silhouettes and carefully controlled poses, while the single orange flower softens the otherwise severe palette. Featuring Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying, the image feels deliberately ambiguous—equal parts glamour, performance and visual mischief. It is the kind of queer portraiture that treats styling not as decoration, but as part of the story.

Since our last update on Monday only $202 has been donated, and only 1 person has signed up to be a recurring donor. That leaves us $12300 short for the rest of 2024 and $55K short per year from 2025 onwards unless way more people pitch in! If we can’t raise the funds we need to, we will expect job losses, service cutbacks, loads of unpaid overtime for some of our director team, fundraising hell, reduced/no stipends for our amazing volunteers, reduced budget to pay our fantastic writers, and lots of staff & volunteer burn-out! Please help us close this funding gap so that we can go back to providing our world-leading information & support across all our articles, advice columns, message boards and text/sms & chat services - all with some semblance of humane working conditions!!

You can donate by going to Scarleteen.com/contribute or clicking “Pitch In” in our website navigation. You can also help by sharing that link with anyone who you think might support what we do.

Making your own post with your own words is also likely to do much better than ours on most platforms not least because we regularly get shadow-banned on social media!

February begins, and with it, the feeling of boundless love. 💙☁️

With her, the world is an open sky—no limits, no edges, just infinite dreams. ✨
