Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
When I was 16, I had a fake I.D. and decided to go to a gay bar by myself because some friends bailed on me. While there, an older gentleman bought me a drink. He wasn’t a creeper, and he definitely wasn’t unattractive. I accepted the drink and began talking to him. No big deal. As the hour progressed, I felt myself feeling strange. I mentioned that I felt like I had a headache, and this guy helped guide me out of the bar. As we were walking down the street, the thought of, ‘Oh god, he’s drugged me, I’m going to die’ came to my head. I tried to get away, but I was so drugged up that I could barely walk, let alone speak. It also didn’t help that I had really large ‘goth’ platform shoes because I was going through a phase. Anyway, this guy brought me to his suv and began undressing me. As a final act of defiance, I hit him over the head with my platform shoe. He then punched me, and I remember thinking, ‘Why don’t they ever give workshops to gay guys about being victims of rape too?’ While I was as careful as possible, I never saw the guy slip something in the drink. I even watched the bar tender make the drink. Anyway, I lied there completely paralyzed while this pervert was lubing up. I locked eyes with his for a moment, and that’s when it happened. A very large and angry drag queen opened the door of the vehicle and beat the shit out of my attempted rapist. She and her other drag friends helped dress and care for me while the police arrived. I was saved by a group of guardian drag queens. They were basically the modern day ‘angels from heaven.’
God bless drag queens.
I’d like to believe I have a guardian drag queen looking out for me.

following by: Megan Townsend, GLAAD’s Entertainment Media FellowOxygen’s The Glee Project announced their second season cast today, which includes transgender man Tyler Ford and out lesbian singer Dani Shay.
Tyler (video above) is a student at Vanderbilt University and has been performing for 11 years. He is half black, half white and Jewish and lists his biggest musical influences as Lady Gaga and Sia. Tyler was interested in being on The Glee Project because they “really want you to be yourself.”
Though Tyler is a newcomer to the spotlight, fellow contestant Dani, aself-described “lesbian who looks like Justin Bieber,” gained fame after her Justin Bieber parody “What The Hell” went viral, which has since garnered over 5 million views. (watch her video HERE) The 23-year-old Dani parlayed her internet fame to an appearance on America’s Got Talent this past summer where she made it to the Top 48.

I love how tumblr bastardizes every meaningful moment in everything <3
For anyone who only sees gender and sex in black and white, here’s proof by the lovely humon that nature is just as fluid with representations of gender and sex as we are.
love this. The cuttlefish mating one blew my mind!
these need to be turned into pamphlets and handed out to people.
for serious.
SERIOUS.
I love cuttlefish mating. Brilliant. @ksej and I are more in the position of the seahorses, though.
This is so adorable.
I think the main, horrifying thing about these airbrushed pictures being distributed, is there has been a lot of media hype calling this beautiful girl fat. It’s like, the media refuses to let her be proud of her body. They’ve even changed her face shape, making her almost unrecognisable. We always rant about how airbrushed photos affect us, but imagine how they must affect the people being airbrushed. Imagine feeling super confident and good about yourself after a photo shoot, and then seeing the end result and realising you weren’t good enough for the magazine. It must be crushing.
I remember, when my friend was practising photo shopping, she took a photo of my face and airbrushed it without my permission or even warning me. Personally, I found the un-airbrushed photo of myself more attractive, since it looked like me, but the airbrushed version was so disheartening. She’d changed the shape of my nose, elongated my face and taken out the scars by my eyes and the scar on my chest from my operation. She only did it as light hearted practice for her art exam, but it crushed me. She didn’t realise, and perhaps the photo-editors don’t realise, that by airbrushing out all the little imperfections on my face she made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. The little scars and freckles and the bump in my nose were all things that made me, me, and she took them away.
Similarly, by changing Jennifer Lawrence’s body, they’re telling her that no matter how successful she is, no matter how talented she is, she will not be good enough because of the things about her that make her who she is.
And I just find that sad.
Couldn’t have said it better.
Bless this post!
hold on - they actually airbrushed her? seriously? are you kidding me? jennifer has a body that the majority of women would DIE for. why should she have to fit a damn mould? i swear, the media makes me sick.
This is just fucking sad. Because…God, she’s lovely—she’s got firm, strong-looking arms and thighs, a round, full face. She looks healthy. But apparently the title of The Hunger Games got taken a little too literally and she can’t be attractive unless she looks like she’s starving.
