This next cartoon is seriously important. It is how every parent of a gay kid who accepts their child’s sexuality feels. Can you imagine a father who accepts his gay son talking to them about lube? And I don’t even want to discuss the parents who refuse to accept their child’s sexuality and instead try to force them to change. Hugs

Many people seem to expect me to draw this comic forever. You’ve seen the amount of hate that I get for it. Anyone who googles my name will be terrified to even speak to me. Every bit of the person I am is being shred and crushed and mocked. It’s practically destroying my life and any hope that I do anything else in the future, as well as affecting me on physical and mental levels.
Now why am I still doing it? Part of it because making comics is everything I wanted in my life. I guess I could make comics that would make the majority feel good or that aren’t political, but that would feel like betraying my readers. Another part is because those readers are amazing and give me life. People have been sharing their stories with me in a way that would make any creator jealous.
The fact is that I am doing all of this by myself. I never got any help or support from publishers, editors, media, government or visible person of any kind. I’m putting everything in your hands. I trust my readers to keep this project alive. It might make my anxiety peak, as I know that as soon as you grow disinterested in my silly stories, I won’t have any other choice to survive than change my name and return to school.
So please, keep reblogging those stories, like them, comment on them. That’s the reasons why they’re out there. ❤

I know I already posted the one below but I love it and wanted to post it again. I wish shy abused gay me had a protector. The predators seemed everywhere. Hugs
I will never tone down or stop fighting for everyone’s equality. I wonder how many politicans said hey tone down this civil rights for black people stuff back in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Where would they have been if they had been listened to? Same with marriage equality—far too many democrats said don’t push for it. Either we all have equality of civil rights or no one does. I will not agree to disagree on someone’s basic rights.
What is with the desperate need to murder people, even criminals? It doesn’t deter crime and can’t be reversed if it is found out to be a wrong conviction. Hugs

Trump administration sued for tearing down Pride flags while leaving Confederate flags up
John Russell (He/Him)February 18, 2026, 11:07 am ESTAfter elected officials raised a Pride flag on a temporary flagpole, activists raise the flag on the permanent flagpole at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City Feb. 12, 2026. Thousands gathered at the monument to see the flag raised after President Donald Trump had ordered the flag to be removed earlier in the week. | Seth Harrison/The Journal News / USA TODAY NETWORK
The Trump administration violated federal law when it removed the LGBTQ+ Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, according to a lawsuit filed by several nonprofit groups on Tuesday.
The lawsuit, led by the Gilbert Baker Foundation — which honors the artist who created the original, eight-striped rainbow Pride flag in the 1970s — alleges that the administration’s “arbitrary and capricious” removal of flag earlier this month violates the Administrative Procedures Act and that the administration “misinterpreted” its own policies as a pretext for the flag’s removal.
“The policies the government says require removing the Pride flag expressly permit the [National Parks Service] to fly other flags that provide historical context to national monuments—which is precisely what the NPS official Pride flag did at Stonewall for many years,” the lawsuit states.
As the New York Times notes, an NPS-sanctioned Pride flag that has for years flown in Christopher Park, the site of the Stonewall Monument in New York’s Greenwich Village, was removed sometime during the night of February 8 with no notice or explanation. NPS later cited new guidance issued by the Trump administration in January mandating that “only the U.S. flag and other congressionally or departmentally authorized flags are flown on NPS-managed flagpoles, with limited exceptions.”
But according to the lawsuit, neither the Department of the Interior policy on flag displays nor the administration’s January directive require the removal of the Pride flag.
“The Policy permits officials to ‘authorize the flying of flags and pennants, other than [U.S. and DOI flags], as appropriate, provided flags and flagpole space are available for this purpose” and “the Directive provides an exemption for flags that ‘provide historical context,’” according to the complaint. “Under the policies that they are purporting to be implementing, Defendants had discretion to allow the Pride flag to be displayed at the Stonewall memorial.”
“This was no careless mistake. The government has not removed other historical flags at other national monuments, most notably Confederate flags,” that lawsuit alleges. “Meanwhile, the assault on Stonewall is the latest example in a long line of efforts by the Trump Administration to target the LGBTQ+ community for discrimination and opprobrium.”
The complaint cites several examples over the past year, including the administration’s removal of any mention of trans people from its website for the Stonewall Monument, its deletion of NPS websites covering LGBTQ+ history, the firing of an FBI employee allegedly for displaying a Pride flag at his desk, and the renaming of the a ship previously named after trailblazing gay politician Harvey Milk.
“These actions alone support a strong inference of animus against the LGBTQ+ community and that Defendants’ reasons for removing the flag were pretextual,” the lawsuit argues. “Because Defendants’ reasons were pretextual and based on an impermissible reason, i.e., animus toward the LGBTQ+ community, they are arbitrary and capricious.”
The lawsuit notes that while local lawmakers restored a Pride flag in Christopher Park last week, “Defendants have not restored the NPS-sanctioned Pride flag” and “continue to prohibit its display.”
The Gilbert Baker Foundation and other plaintiffs are asking the court to issue an order requiring the administration to restore the officially sanctioned Pride flag to the monument and to permanently enjoin the administration from removing it without, at minimum, taking into account the effect such a change would have, in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act.
“The government’s decision is deeply disturbing and is just the latest example of the Trump administration targeting the LGBTQ+ community,” Alexander Kristofcak, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said according to Courthouse News Service. “At best, the government misread its regulations. At worst, the government singled out the LGBTQ+ community. Either way, its actions are unlawful.”

I was an abused boy trying to deal with his budding sexuality being gay. I did not think I gave off signs but the bullies sensed my vulnerability because I did not form friends and stayed to myself. So they attacked me. What shocked me was not that the bullies attacked me but that the teachers in the 1970s joined in, giving the bullies full permission to do so while restricting my grades. Remember, I was not an out gay kid, I was an abused boy trying to keep his head down and get by each day. But the future maga sinced my vunerablebiltey and attacked me. Once it went around the school my entire teen school years became agony. That is what the republican Christian nationalists are trying to drive us back to. It changed in the 2000s with anti bulling and anti-discrimination programs. tRump’s amdin has desperately attempted to remove all those programs and protections. Hugs
Plenty of gay men took their husbands name or they both hyphenated both their names. So these gay couples would not have a matching birth certificate. I am one of those. I took Ron’s last name deperatly wanting to leave my abusive adoptive parents last name very far behind. Hugs
About these letters. Allison Gill on the Daily Beans news podcast gave sourced reports that ICE detention agents raided the children’s rooms at this detention concentration camp for children / families and took all their letters with the intent to destroy their reports of what was happening to them. Allison Gill has sued the government in court to save them and get them published. I fear it will be too late. Hugs.
Right-wing media hacks use two recent shootings to label trans people as mass shooters.
It is a fact that most mass shooters are males, mostly white males. But right wing media are so desperate to slander and smear trans people the same way it was tried to before the internet with other media against gay people. The know what they are creating is false but they don’t care because they know that others will believe it and repeat it everywhere. It is a sickness and curse to want to create that much hate and chaos against the most vulnerable communities in society. Hugs

I finally made a comic strip about fall (but without any references to pumpkin spice lattes).
This is me during high school in a nutshell btw
I have been here. No means no, stop means don’t argue just stop and change activites, consent can be withdrawn at any time during sex. Hugs
“Our flag is red, white, and blue, but our nation is a rainbow—red, yellow, brown, black, and white—and we are all precious in God’s sight.”
Many people have requested such wearable designs lately, so I was happy to oblige. Just a bunch of funny, silly, lighthearted designs, yes, such as:
-“Sorry babe, I can’t make it to the function tonight, I have fascists to punch” (my personal favorite);
-“Abolish ICE” but in a beautiful gradient from the future;
-“Nerds against ICE” with a natural 20 (they are messing with the wrong DnD party);
-“I thought we agreed that concentration camps were BAD”;
-“ICE OUT” but in trans colors for added conservative nightmares.
There’s also a few variants and other new stuff! Check them out here.
We know from testimony that there were abuse videos made and sent to Epstein. Trigger warning the meme below is very graphic and difficult to read. Hugs
German referee assaulted after viral proposal to boyfriend
A man does something beautiful making so many happy. But haters have to try to ruin something that doesn’t affect them at all. None of the attackers are being asked to have same sex with the men, the attackers are not being asked to go to the wedding. So seriously why be so angry that they attack a man for claiming his love for another man? This shit is starting to get far too normal where straight cis people assault, injure, and make LGBTQ+ people afraid to be themselves openly in public. For some reason it seems to infuriate these hateful bigots just to know someone not cis or straight exists. Anyway. At least in Germany he has free healthcare and even though the right wing fascists are rising as a political force driven by wealthy haters, Christian nationalists, and Russia their government is still left leaning. I really wish the US government was still leaning left. Hugs
