Most of these the cats are totally obviously controlled by Satan. But I like to think the last one is just rocking out with a tiny air guitar.
Ah but it is:

Was she going to slap you because you never in any way made him gay in the actual books, taking zero risks/doing absolutely nothing for gay characters in literature, and only announcing your “authorial intent” afterwards for a cheap shot at looking like an ~ally~
^^^
Gay people are just normal people. We are not told about any of the Hogwarts professors love lives, other than Snape, and it would be completely out of character for Dumbledore to walk around telling everyone about his sexuality.
Did you want her to make him dress in glittery platform boots, a crop top, and decorate his office in rainbow flags to make it more obvious for you? Would that be enough of a stereotype to appease you people? Or what? Please tell me. I’d like to know how you think a gay character is supposed to be portrayed.
And did you miss the Grindelwald chapters in the ‘actual books’? Or was that also not obvious enough for you? Did Dumbledore need to whisper “always” wistfully in order for you to connect that he had romantic feelings for Grindelwald? Maybe you are American and need them to gaze longingly into each others eyes with awkward close ups of their fingers almost grazing each other that Hollywood thinks means ‘true love’.
It didn’t fit into his relationship to Harry to ever say “I’m gay”, and so it was not stated explicitly (you might have noticed the book was told from Harry Potter’s perspective).
The point is though, that he is a homosexual, well respected, powerful, and very loved wizard- and his sexuality doesn’t matter because no one else thinks it matters. a.k.a. no one cares that he loves men, and that is wonderful.

AMEN
For the umpteenth time seeing this post, I’m calling bullshit
The absolute lack of queer visibility in Harry Potter is jarring and totally real. It is nakedly unrealistic that a kid would go through 7 years of school and not have any gay classmates, but for all the peripheral characters, there was not one mm or ff couple mentioned at the yule ball, at the Christmas parties, at the weddings and funerals
No one is talking about Dumbledore signing up for pride parades or fulfilling a fucking stereotype, they’re calling bullshit on the fact that there is a whole and significant chunk of HP fans who were excluded from Hogwarts because we didn’t have a voice there. That Seamus didn’t have a male date to the ball and that Parvati didn’t crush on Hannah Abbott. That, for all you and me and JKR may take it as canon that Sirius and Remus were together, that Dumbledore was gay, *they weren’t in the books*, no more than any of the dozens of queerbaiting shows this website is in love with- but we all readily admit that those aren’t canon, not really, not until the kiss or the dance or the corner snog that no one in Harry Potter ever had.
I fucking love Harry Potter, I fucking love Sirius and Remus, I fucking love Dumbledore but this argument falls apart the minute you look at it, because *no one* was really GAY in Harry Potter no matter what anyone, and that includes the lovely and talented author, might say.
And the fact is that it would be lovely and wonderful if we lived in a world where a character with an undefined sexuality was potentially gay in people’s minds, but in a book where LITERALLY NO ONE was gay, why would anyone thing that about Dumbledore?
I’m fine with how Dumbledore was written and his not being outed until afterwards.
I am sincerely and absolutely not fine with there not being a single queer character ACTUALLY IN HARRY POTTER. Don’t go slapping anyone on the back and congratulating them for their queer characters when they don’t actually exist yet please.
A little Sailor Moon at AUSA! :)
On a similar note it has been at least a month or two since I’ve reblogged Harley kicking cosplay ass so here you go more Harley!
Haha, I will also re-reblog my re-re-re-reblogged baby <3 <3 Isn’t she the greatest~
I like that I can take credit for making both the costume and the kid (with a few borrowed parts…a white leotard…some red boots…gloves…some of my husband’s dna…etc)
North Dakota Personhood Measure Passes State Senate
North Dakota has only one abortion clinic and has been rated the worst state in the country for women, but the State Senate passed two bills on Thursday will make it even more difficult for women in the state to access abortion care.
North Dakota lawmakers passed a Personhood Constitutional Amendment initiative on Thursday that would amend the state’s constitution to give legal rights and protections to human embryos. If the ballot initiative passes the House, North Dakota voters will decide on it during the 2014 elections.
“We are intending that it be a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, since Scalia said that the Supreme Court is waiting for states to raise a case,” state Sen. Margaret Sitte (R), the sponsor of the personhood initiative, told HuffPost.
The Senate also passed a bill on Thursday that could shut down the North Dakota’s one abortion clinic, the Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo, by requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. A similar law in Mississippi is currently threatening to close the only clinic in that state because the hospitals near the Jackson clinic are all refusing the applications of doctors who perform abortions.
They just won’t learn. And they don’t even care to.
Restrictions in abortions only make it more dangerous for people. It decreases the health of our family and friends. This is a fact. Any credible medical institution will tell you that. The World Health Organization has already announced this.
We need to stop giving fetuses free passes to use someone else’s body against their will.
