This queen was outside of the cruising area in Ptown for an HOUR, nose BURIED in Grindr. Missed at least a dozen guys who were tryina fuck him in person. She’s EXACTLY why I wrote my analog cruising manual. LOOK UP MARY.

Mary did you know…March 21, 1989 marks @Madonna’s groundbreaking AIDS leaflet inside of Like a Prayer? The first mass AIDS prevention campaign for many young Queer kids.

@papa911_bk Relax Mary. This was outside the cruising area and the photo is almost a decade old. I’m a Queer historian and anthropologist, documenting our spaces and customs is what I do.

We haven’t had many Gay grandfather figures in our time. From sidekick to leading man, a beautiful curtain call. Rest Easy Short King. #LeslieJordan

The pic is 7 years old BTW. And literally no way to discern who it was. Anyway, if y’all wanna buy the cruising manual, here it is!

@papa911_bk Alright. You get the gold star in today’s virtue signal olympics. 🏆 Now let’s get back to the cruising and the point of the post.

A message for the MAGA LGB “Normal” Gays: the call to split the TQ+ from LGB is not new, and neither are you. 🇺🇸

Not an “unpopular” opinion, just a deeply anti-science, anti-history, anti-harm reduction, “unappreciative for what folks went through so PrEP could be available to us,” “no idea what the AIDS crisis was” generic-ass dumb opinion.

These are the times we realize who our real allies are. The Sisters literally got us through AIDS and worse. Fuck the @Dodgers (I’m assuming they’re some kind of sports team.).

@spinachdad I think the visual was important and irresistible but I did wait 7 years to share this pic and made sure the face is not discernible.

Queens get big mad when I call out Grindr cuz much of our use is addiction & insecurity. A great tool but just one in a huge and ancient arsenal of intimacy. Many valid points about privacy/consent here but they can get lost in the virtue signal olympics. I LOVED this convo tho!.

If your knee-jerk reaction to Queer sex is to focus ONLY on disease, chances are that you still feel our sex comes with a punishment. You may be making a moral argument and not a public health one. Some of y’all need to stop lecturing people about sex and unpack that.

Happy Southern Decadence! A quarter million gays will descend upon New Orleans to let their freak flag fly. SD started in 1972 as a costume party and tiny parade of 40 Queers then grew into a sex behemoth!

Mary did you know Provincetown has been a Queer haven for a century+? Queers flocked to its art school in 1890, became an art colony in the 20-30s, had Drag shows in the ‘40s, Gay bars in the 50s, and Gay tourism boards in the 70s. It now has highest rate of same-sex couples.

The way the LGB Gays are frothing at the mouth over my bootlicker post. 😮💨 Some of y’all have never had Trans friends or friends with Trans kids, and it shows. It’s sad, cuz the loss is all yours really.

Seeing the drag bans/anti-Trans law map passed around. It’s disheartening and it’s scary. Beloved, if the news got you scared and stressed, pick up a history book, discover ways in which your Elders and Trancestors dealt with their own criminalization.

That’s a wrap on another Folsom. It is truly an epic, infuriating and endearing time to live in this town. and this may be the most San Francisco photo I’ve ever taken. SF Folsom 2019 .#FolsomStreetFair #SanFrancisco #LGBT #Gay @FolsomStEvents

OK Gays: Either we put away Padam and bring it back every Pride or we play it to death till it becomes our Baby Shark. The choice is ours.

#onlyfans banning sex is the tired pattern of social media platforms using sex & queer content to build their user base & make billions, then bailing when it takes too much thought, effort & courage to support us.

If you’re still using the term “woke” “cancel culture” and “trans ideology” it just tells me you don’t have many Trans friends, Black friends, Brown friends, young friends and most of all you’re just severely, painfully, irreversibly uncool and out of touch.

Hey Fags! Do you know about DISCO DOSING PrEP? AKA PrEP 2-1-1 or On Demand. For sluts who plan their sex or folks who may lack access to the meds.

Can you imagine if straight folks had to get a Polio vaccine at Chili’s, Gap and Toyotathon? I know our history of sex health outreach at our nightlife spaces, but it’s 2022. Our bathhouses and leather bars should not have been burdened with the job of #monkeypox vax rollouts.

Henry Cavill AI porn is all over social media. Sex assault and Gods was a popular subject of the Renaissance. Now, one of the most popular subjects of AI porn is the subjugation of “Superman.” What does that say about us and this current AI renaissance?

Thinking of the huge success of Dahmer VS Bros opening weekend and how easily America embraces Gay monsters (see every Queer-coded villain ever) but Gay joy is always a harder sell. It’s not black and white (tho race played a part in both) but the disparity is interesting.

Gurl…the number of lil’ Queens who had a MELTDOWN over me using “Mary” and the royal “she” to refer to another Gay had me CACKLING today. Some of y’alls internal homophobia POPS right the fuck out.

Gays, if you don’t think abortion or Trans healthcare bans affect you, if you think cis men are exempt from body autonomy issues, understand this: They are coming for your PrEP next.
A federal judge in Texas ruled that the requirement to cover HIV prevention drug PrEP “violates” the religious rights of individuals and employers.

This lil’ demon twink kinda ate this. A Berlin night out meets a 1990s XY magazine. I can only imagine if I grew up with Gay teen idols. NO way we’re shoving these kids back in the closets, no matter what these lawmakers think they’re doing.

If y’all need cruising “explained” to you, you’ve missed a lot about your own culture, a consequence of losing so many mentors to AIDS.
