I did a comic about marriage equality…
Lemme take a second to address why this is important as fuck. Because as much as our society has been taking steps forward when it comes to portraying queer characters on television, if you’re a queer of color or you don’t fit into certain stereotypes, you’re usually shit…

Dear Tumblr, this is the Indiegogo page of a very dear friend of mine who is currently raising money for an important surgery. With your help he can finally take the next major step needed towards feeling right in his own body.
In exchange for pieces of art created himself he hopes that you will consider donating towards his goal. Even if it’s only a dollar you will be changing his life for the better. There’s only 40 days to go and he still needs a lot of help reaching his goal.
I understand many of you may not be able to donate, or perhaps you simply don’t want to, but if possible it could make all the difference if you reblog this for him and help his page find its way to someone who can help.
Thank you for reading.
We are always inspired by guys doing creative things to raise money for top surgery and gladly promote those making and selling goods to raise money. Cheers and good luck!
I like this idea.

One of the biggest peeves of mine about the American ‘melting pot’ is the introduction of other cultures. Yes, it’s fine for there to be other cultures, that’s what strengthens us, but do we REALLY need to waste time on ‘muslim-american/mexican-american/japanese-american/whatever’ history?
They moved here, they are citizens of the United States, that’s all. If they want to maintain a separate identity, let them go back to where they came from.
If a hyphenated americaness bothers you then your problem is not with these folks representing their cultures and their history your problem is america.
Your problem is that what american has done is establish the lie of whiteness as a normative standard where everyone else becomes an other a deviant.
Your problem is the racism and xenophobia of america that has murdered and exploited millions upon millions of people, deprived them of justice and a good life on the basis of being not white.
Your problem is that folk such as yourself have the fucking audacity to think everyone has to conform to your white way of being or they are really american.
We hypenate because 1. we are proud of who we are. 2. We have no kinship with white people or even a desire for a sense of solidarity to share with them b/c all they have ever done is make us targets.
You gotta look in the mirror fam and read more books.
think about what ur saying when ur telling people to go back to where they came from. Im black my people built this nation once during enslavement, again during convict leasing post civil war. This shit is ours. Think about the First nations who land was occupied and stolen from them. Think about the latino communities who had a border cross them b/c of manifest destiny and concepts of racial superiority. You gotta chill.

I bet sometimes they ask Mr. Garfiel “lol can I get an automail dick i want two so i can do 2 gurls at once”
and Garfiel’s like “let me direct you 2 Winry”
dude leaves 5 seconds later with a broken nose. (AUTOMAIL ISN’T A JOKE)
Garfiel’s like “I’m so glad she’s my apprentice”“
**TRIGGER WARNING**
As a survivor of campus sexual assault, and as someone who became a feminist and an activist after my own experience of institutional apathy towards my attacks, I feel conflicted. I am so glad that this serious issue is getting more attention, but I am increasingly frustrated and almost scared by the lack of diversity that I see in the survivors receiving national media attention. As I look at photos and watch the media appearances of these resilient, brave survivors I can’t help to feel invisible. I browse a network of campus rape survivors who are working to combat institutional apathy towards rape victims and struggle to find other women of color who are like me.
Why does the representation of survivors in the media matter? Validation of black women of survivors would go against the jezebel stereotype that, in fact, black women are not all sexually insatiable creatures and can be raped. It would challenge attitudes that black women are more to blame for being survivors of sexual and domestic violence and that being raped is just as serious as if they were any other color. An important message that media attention on rape survivors means that “you matter.” Do not other survivors — whether they are men, of color, poor, LGBTQ, gender non-conforming matter, too?
What has contributed to young white women being the face of rape survivors in media? I do not know. It may be a reflection of our culture to be more sympathetic to white female survivors as talking about rape and rape culture in mainstream media becomes more prevalent (a sort of extension of “missing white woman syndrome”). It could be general distrust or fear of the mainstream media to properly tell our stories. Or maybe no one wants to listen. When I first was trying to get attention to my story, I remember reporters, producers, and magazines alike asking me to rehash the painful details of my story only to pick to feature other survivors: all of them pretty, female, and white.
