Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

fun fact: i’m happy for all same sex couples getting married today, and i’m a big sap for all of them, but nothing quite opens the floodgates as much as seeing elderly gay couples get married

this is particularly important because it shuts down the stubborn notion that queerness is all about being young and having wild kinky sex, it shuts down the talk that “having a bicurious phase” is just the latest fad, it makes queerness into a non-sexualized topic that concerns sedate elderly folks and therefore also concerns middle-aged people and elementary schoolers and people who aren’t high schoolers/college students that can be dismissed as sexual deviants, and that’s a slap in the face to bigots that i love to see

also it’s frickin’ cute

i mean the reason the gay community fought for marriage rights was bc during the aids crisis their partners would literally die in the hospital all alone bc their partners couldnt visit them bc they were not “family”

ppl would lose their homes, their inheritances, even their children bc they were not “family” with their deceased partners

like this shit isnt about a tax cut. just let gay people celebrate this important acquisition

Its so cute seeing pictures of elderly couples getting married now, because you know they’ve waited their whole lives for this
