This is a gentle reminder that while the Supreme Court Decision to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states is a wonderful thing, the backlash will likely lead to an increase in violence against LGBTQ people in states where same-sex marriage was previously banned. Note that these states also have some of the loosest gun regulations in the country. If you are LGBTQ and living in one of these states, please be very careful and stay safe. Be in contact with your friends often so they know you’re alright.
tumblr is so US-centric i’m afraid the majority of people on tumblr are going to stop fighting for LGBT rights now that same-sex marriage is legal in the US
please, please, please, don’t forget that this is NOT the end of our fight, and while the same-sex marriage may be legal in the US, there are still hundreds of countries where it isn’t legal (mine included) - and what’s worse than that - there are still countries where homosexuality is considered a disease/punishable by death. PLEASE don’t forget about that.
A special celebration from Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi❤️💛💚💜💙
