Day two of 30 day pride challenge
:something that makes me happy
Honestly these bois
🏳️🌈✨Hi, happy pride everyone I’m late I know but I still thought that I’d do this
30 day pride challenge
Day 1 : my pronouns and pride flags
My pronouns are They/Them and my pride flags are
“Pride should be about uplifting and celebrating, you, the community. And it should be year round...”
Year Round
Year Round
YEAR ROUND
But yet here you are, on June first, making a 30 day pride list. Just like every other company in June. Way to go, so progressive tumblr.
Well, well, well, will you look at that? It’s Pride again.
You know the drill by now. It’s June 1, and suddenly everything from banks to big box stores has slapped a rainbow on their logo. Rainbow capitalism knows how to target LGBTQIA+ customers. For exactly 30 days of the year. How quaint.
Of course, it’s nice to make things bright, and colorful, and pretty. But it’s meaningless if that’s all it is.
Pride should be about uplifting and celebrating you, the community. And it should be year-round, not just 8.22% of the year. So, we’re signal-boosting your posts that celebrate, support, and honor all genders and sexualities over here. Follow to keep your dashboard lovely and gay as hell all year round.
And, yes, we’re also making a bit of a fuss right here on @celebrate (apparently, we just can’t help ourselves). So if you’re interested in talking about what Pride means to you or want to celebrate Pride but don’t know how to go about it this year, we made a fun little 30-day Share Your Pride Challenge list. Because you do, in fact, deserve to be celebrated.
Tag your posts with #ShareYourPride if you want to make them a little easier for other people to find. And Tumblr? Happy Pride. We’re glad you’re here.
Favorite pride memory?
Ok so as I’ve said before, I’ve never been to a pride parade or protest because I’m not exactly allowed to go, but I do quietly celebrate pride.
Last year, I was inspired by a video I saw to make a cactus sweater! Y’know cause ace/aro cactus! So that’s probably my favorite pride memory
Thank some one who helped you get where you are.
I’d like to thank Thomas Sanders for providing the queer content my repressed soul needed throughout middle school and beyond.
Thank you Thomas Sanders @thatsthat24
Show us your pride outfits!
Uh sorry no
I don’t feel comfortable sharing pictures of me on tumblr ✌️
What song would be playing on my pride float?
I...
I don’t know how to explain why other than I live this song and Robin is LGBTQ+.
Who’s on my pride float!
If I could have anybody on my pride float for asexuality/aromantism, I would choose Yasmin Benoit and Cavetown.
I don’t know a lot about actually pride parades because I’m not allowed to go to them so I don’t know if my choices make sense but yeah!
Read up on intersectionality in the pride community!
Okay so I know a lot about this kinda stuff because my friends use a lot of labels that people often over generalize as being “basically the same thing” when that’s not true.
Sure they have similarities, but similarities don’t mean they’re identical.
The biggest example is probably bi, Pan, poly, omni.
As I personally know at least one person each who identifies with one of these labels, I’m do my best to break it down from how it’s been explained to me.
Bi
Being attracted to two or more genders
Poly
Being attracted to multiple genders
Omni
Being attracted to all gender/lack of but maybe having preferences, maybe not, but acknowledges different genders
Pan
Being attracted to people regardless of gender
I am not an expert and some people may use these terms in different ways, I am merely restating what I have heard.
These labels are often widely down to,
“Oh, you’re basically bi”
Which is some stupid shit
They are similar
Not the same.
A drag performer who inspires me?
Oh it would haaaave to be Todrick Hall.
I absolutely adore his works and his music.
Honestly I don’t know that many real drag queens as I wasn’t allowed to watch that kinda content growing up, so mostly I have discovered drag content to watch in the last two years.
Despite my drag ocs...
Song that reminds me of pride?
Ok so probably really basic but
Yeah...
I don’t have much else to say.
Favorite LGBTQIA+ moment in video games?
I don’t really play video games...
Soooo
The best I can do is tell you a cute story about among us.
Okay so one day when me and my friends were bored and all still played among us, my friends asked me to join an among us game.
I joined their lobby and they’re username was trans babe.
That was how she chose to come out to me.
It was freaking adorable, dude.
But yeah that’s the only thing I really have for today!
My favorite LGBTQIA+ TV moment!
My by far favorite lgbt moment on TV would have to be the Ruby and Sapphire wedding on Steven Universe! It was so precious and the entire episode was sooooo good!!!
Ahh I forgot to do this yesterday day
Favorite lgbt meme?
Favorite Lgbt ship?
Would absolutely have to be zukka
I read a ton of fanfics and love all the fanart.
I love a lot of ships but if I listed them all we’d be here awhile.
When did I realize I wasn’t straight?
Well I suppose that’s a difficult question.
For the longest time I was convinced I would marry a man and have 5 kids. But as I learned more about the world I found terms that just felt better.
In 6th grade, I started out with saying I was bisexual because it was the first term I learned. I thought it was appropriate because I thought girls were really pretty which I thought meant I could fall in love with them. But I still never thought I could have sex with a women and I had kind just pushed out of my mind the fact that for kids I would “need” to have sex.
In the same year, I was introduced to romantic attraction terms and started going by Biromantic heterosexual. That lasted about three months when I was introduced to the term asexual.
I have identified as asexual since I was in middle school and have ever since.
I also started questioning my gender identity around this time but we’ll get back to that.
Now even though I had determined that I was ace, I still had it in my brain that I needed a romantic interest to appease the concept I grew up with.
So I jumped around between deciding who my “crush” would be. From a sweet femme person I admired to a girl that would become one of my best friends.
I tried as I might to love them the way they wanted me to. I tried so hard with putting romance behind every I love you.
But I just can’t.
I don’t feel that way.
I just don’t, no matter how I try.
And that’s okay. They accept me.
It was around the time I determined I was aro that I decided there was no point in denying that I didn’t feel like a girl.
I still don’t. I identified for awhile as androgyne because if my mom ever asked me about my gender it wouldn’t break her heart as much.
But recently I’ve determined I do like being associated with being a “girl”.
So I have decided to settle with the term Demiboy as of now.
He/they pronouns.
My favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure?
I am not sure.
I could list only a few of the top of my head in general.
I like Salvador Dali (asexual) for his art and his different view of the world but he didn’t really do anything for the community.
I read a while ago about someone who worked with Martin Luther King Jr, fought alongside him, who identified as homosexual but I can’t for the life of me remember his name. I saved an article about him somewhere but I can’t find it. If anyone knows who I’m talking about, help me find his name.
He would probably be my favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure.
Which LGBTQIA+ cliche do you most identify with?
Here’s the thing.
As an asexual I most identify with beanies and succulents and Galaxy shit.
But as an enby, I am both the flamboyant goth layers for days and the reddie love child button ups and Fanny pack wearing smart ass depending on the temperature outside.
Favorite LGBTQIA+ tumblr!
For sure would have to be @crimson-chains
I absolutely love all of their works and am always waiting. For them to update both on tumblr and their other accounts.
If you see this @crimson-chains, I want you to know that you bring so much joy into my life and are an absolutely amazing artist and storyteller, thank you for all you do!
My pride playlist.
Does just all of cavetown count?
Okay! This I can do! What’s your favorite LGBTQ book?
Well I just finished reading a book called “Meet Cute Diary” which is about a trans guy who writes a blog called the meet cute diary and it’s a bunch of meet cites involving trans people. The catch is though, that he made them all up and someone calls him out in it! The plot is him trying to find a way to prove that he isn’t a fraud and save his blog and maybe find love along the way!
I’m always looking for good queer books and just picked up another one recently although I haven’t started it yet because I’m saving it to read on the road.
We’re supposed to tag our found family but the majority of my found family doesn’t have tumblr so....
@alexclaremont-diazbutnot
Something I’m proud of.
When I was in my freshman year of high school, there was a competition that you could submit an original play to be put in by our school.
I wrote a lay about a lady coming out as asexual to her childhood best friend.
I worked hard on it and submitted it on time and waited for a response.
And it absolutely made my day when I got the notification that my play had been selected!
My play was put on as a fully student run production and is on YouTube in a compilation of the winning plays from that year.
That is something I’m proud of.
Something rainbow for day 3? Well I’m sure y’all didn’t know this but I collect dolls
They’re rainbow high dolls, so....
Day 2? Something that makes me happy?
Happy?
Well I’ve mentioned this before but the happiest place for me on earth is the camp I go to each summer. And though that camp is closing this summer, it will always be my 2nd home.
The memories will bring me joy, the hikes, the kayaking, the swimming, the games and the nights in front of the fire, and amazing never ending love and family.
That’s the thing that makes me happy.
Ummm hi? My name is Sonny (pronounced sunny) and I use all pronouns with a preference of they/them.
And uh these are the flags I associate with
- ace
- aro
- non-binary
- androgyne
- trans
- aroace

Happy pride month to all you amazing people!!!!
