Dear Bee (2),
I can be clumsy with my emotions sometimes, and I know it makes it hard to talk to me. But at the end of the day, I will always, always remember how much I love you more than my own pride.
Sorry I can’t seem to find the courage to say this to your face, but when you find this, just know I’m thinking of you every moment of my life.
Love, Naf

The problem with tossing around "White Privilege"...
This is a touchy subject, but I hate racism in all forms. And I strongly believe that racism can— and IS— used against “white people.”
In America, yes, the institution of knowledge and culture is mainly European in origin and ancestry, and if you are to compare levels of success to “Caucasian ideals,” then yes. White influence is stronger in this country.

You are not "Damned": Religion and Sexuality
I just got a very long and desperate message from a fan I deeply appreciate, so I wanted to type this up for anyone who has— and is— struggling with the problem of consolidating religion and their sexuality.
Before we even begin talk on religion, let me first say this: The person and/or people you choose to love does not determine if you are a good or bad person. You are not damned.

homosexuality in the quran
mosprob:
This is going to be a long-ass post, but not nearly as long as this topic deserves. The more I’ve studied this issue, the more I’ve come to see deeper dimensions to the quran’s language e.g. the use of dualities and the role of gendered words. I can’t cover everything I’ve found in one post, so I’ll keep this as brief and as structured as possible.

Another openly gay Imam

amillionexpectations:
Imam Muhsin Hendricks is part of the Inner Circle organisation in South Africa that works to fight homophobia by creating awareness of sexuality in the Muslim community.
He also took part in the documentary film “Jihad for Love”. A real pioneer and I hope that his message of tolerance and love and compassion is more widely adopted. To me, Islam is a...

About the Warnings: a follow up to my "fuck off"...
Just to clarify from my last text post, we most likely will be including a general warning for all the stories when the site is up XD I never meant to say “fuck off” to the idea of warnings (or that anon), just my insecurity about getting rid of any need for warnings (which I realized was stupid) :|
I will warn you guys here though (this will be repeated on the PT comic site when...

Original Blog Entry Here. “On a somewhat serious note today because of a conversation the other day: I am sure every girl can recall, at least once as a child, coming home and telling their parents, uncle, aunt or grandparent about a boy who had pulled her hair, hit her, teased her, pushed her or committed some other playground crime. I will bet money that most of those,...

An insecurity I decided to say "Fuck off" to
I will be frank. The first “Picture This” story has some pretty dark elements. I won’t spoil what it might be, but it made me sincerely nervous for a while.
We got an ask a while ago asking if the stories would have dark themes, and if so, would we please include warnings.
It made me start worrying that Sam&Sara’s story would be too hard to swallow for some of our...

deathsruler asked: Hey, I noticed that on an ask you answered you said that Atheist's are often times the ones who give you shit based on your religion. I know that it's not my place to speak for all these people, so just know that we're not all like that. I think we get so angry because we see religion making such a political stance in a theocracy that we get kind of jumpy whenever it's...

I grew up in a pretty atheist/agnostic home and while those practices will probably always be a small part of my life, I'd really like to my spirituality a larger part.

Pretty Boys and Handsome Girls
When it comes to androgyny and blurring gender lines, a lot of people criticize the inherent masculine power in society and culture. Often, I’ll hear people make the comparison that women wearing men’s clothes is more acceptable than men wearing women’s clothing, because masculinity is seen as “better.” While this is definitely true, there is another side to this...
Anonymous asked: My pastor always preaches: "We don't condone different religions. We don't condone gays. We may not agree with them, but we love them and treat them like our brothers and we will always keep them in our prayers." Will you be able to believe me when I say that I don't agree with you, but I still love exactly who you are? I don't pray for you to change. I pray for your...
Anonymous asked: Im sorry about your family problems. I remember when I came out to my parents, everything was fine, because my own mother is actually a lesbian with biromantic tendencies. I've never experienced what it's like to have my own family be against who I am... but I know you're gonna be fine. Your friends and especially Bee are obviously immensely helpful and supportive of you....
Anonymous asked: oh bb ;-; I know your feels about your family. I'm dealing with the same. It's gonna get better - even if it seems impossible, I promise from the bottom of my heart it'll get better. Just wait and be the best girlfriend you can be and you're already taking steps to healing things with your family. Just be honest, and love with your whole heart. <3
