It's the first day of Pride. You are legally required to watch this today.

"Keep the gay out of America's Pastime," I growl, watching a team of grown men in tight pants smack each others' butts whenever they do a good job at hitting balls with phallic-like objects

It’s the first of June, the beginning of Pride month. Stonewall was a riot. Trans rights are human rights. No one gets to erase us from history. Fight back against book bans. Fuck anybody who thinks we don’t deserve love or bodily autonomy. They don’t get to steal our joy.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

People are now debating what the proper earring placement is.
