The Gay “Marry Me” - Eurovision 2013 Parody for Marriage Equality (Finland)
The Gay “Marry Me” - Eurovision 2013 Parody for Marriage Equality (Finland)
people saying that finland’s eurovision entry was a “tribute to (marriage) equality”
that’s it, that’s the joke
kissing your lady backup dancer during a live performance in the hope of getting votes is not a tribute to anything
you can still like the song! you can still use it in your marriage equality playlist or w/e!
you can still get mad about the censorship of a same-gender kiss without pretending the song was some uber-progressive pro-gay song when actually it was clearly the recycling of the old trope of “women nags boyfriend into marrying her”
maybe you could also try caring that another straight person is attempting to profit from affecting queerness, though?
maybe you disagree (which you’re free to w/e) but i’m tired of giving straight people credit for being progressive when they’re using us as a gimmick
i hope you enjoy those 13 points, finland (ʘ‿ʘ✿)

Float (my electric stargirl)
A black-market ring of pirates has shanghaied the nubile companion of our rogue space mercenary. Now she will stop at nothing to track down the key to their underground compound— using everything from electrocuting butterflies, stolen explosives, even her devoted robo-owl. It is truly a race against time as the pirates disassemble their captured slaves for mysterious purposes. It will be up to skill, instinct and every dirty little trick in her book for our heroine to reunite with her counterpart and crush the pirates’ dark operation.

Hello! I was wondering if you or any followers know of any music that is trans* specific. My fiancee and several of my friends have been looking for something, any genre, that is about being trans*, etc., and they’ve turned up nothing in their search. So I figured I’d ask here, because you always post useful resources.
here are some suggestions from googling. i can’t vouch for how good any of these are and idk if any of the lyrics are problematic, sorry in advance if they are. i tried to focus on songs with obvious trans* themes, from sources by or for trans* people (a lot of forums and message boards of trans* folk suggesting song they relate to).

- drag king bar - bitch and animal

Ned Sublette - Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond of Each Other), 1981
Nearly 20 yrs. before You-Know-What Mountain, there was this hilarious song … and Marlboro ads.
