fuckyeahqueeryouth!

British Prime Minister David Cameron tells LGBT teens ‘it gets better’, whilst voting against any policies that would help stop homophobic bullying or improve the lives of British LGBT people.

British Prime Minister David Cameron is NOT an LGBT ally. It is disgusting he is co-opting the very real grief and anguish of gay students being bullied, for his own good publicity. The policies he mentioned in this video (protection from discrimination), he and his party OPPOSED. He personally voted against allowing schools to discuss homosexuality, therefore BANNING schools from DISCUSSING HOMOPHOBIC BULLYING. He is not a supporter of this campaign. 

I am disappointed that ‘It Gets Better’ has given him a platform, considering his and his parties atrocious record on LGBT rights. 

THIS is what David Cameron really thinks about LGBQ people.

David Cameron ‘not planning’ to legalise full gay marriage despite pledge to ‘consider’ it

David Cameron appoints an ‘equality minister’ who voted against allowing schools to discuss homosexuality, against gay couples being allowed to adopt, against legislation to protect against discrimination based on sexuality, against lesbian couples being able to access IVF treatment.

The conservative party’s voting record on LGBT rights, under David Cameron’s leadership.

Please spread the word, especially to non-British followers who aren’t aware of this shameless hypocrisy and the hijacking of a wonderful campaign against homophobia.

“TRUE MEN” by Brian Shumway

Project Description: 

Gender can be a perplexing thing. Despite being flexible and malleable, it defines and confines who we are and how we express ourselves, especially through behavior and dress. Men in particular are bound by the dictates of gender. To be a ‘real man,’ being manly and masculine (or at the very least not outwardly effeminate) are paramount. Expression of one’s manhood, especially in public, must remain within a narrow range of acceptable social norms. Little boys are conditioned as such from birth, almost as a universal absolute. But this ignores the full story of male identity. There is a large spectrum of male experience that is deemed off limits by popular society. The men in this portrait series fall outside traditional notions of manliness and masculinity. They possess an effeminate manner, dress, or look, a ‘girlishness’ that is as much a part of being male as weightlifting and football. They boldly embrace expressions of male identity which flaunt the confines of conventional conceptions of manhood and what it means to be a man.
