I get weirded out when a gay guy describes a gay romance path in a mainstream game approvingly as "it's so wholesomely done".
I think that for all the work gays have done to create space for themselves, there's something dark about chasing respectability.
Echoes of "you can be yourself as long as we can't see it" I suppose.
I'm not really expressing it very well.
Volgende week is het 25 jaar geleden dat Amsterdam werd overspoeld door een roze golf. De #GayGames, wat een week! Vanaf de eerste dag was alles anders, en het zou nooit meer worden als daarvoor. Ik vier volgende week de herinnering aan die fantastische week, aan alle veranderingen die toen begonnen en nog steeds doorgaan. En - last but not least - dat ik 25 jaar samen ben met de liefde van m'n leven. https://www.npostart.nl/VPWON_1345770
Hello #QueerGames folks! I am interested in running a queer video game club as part of my company's pride, but I haven't been paying much attention to this space recently - all my old favorites were made with flash and don't run anymore!
Can you help suggest #GayGames that are:
- Free or PWYW
- Ideally run in the browser
- Short (max a few hours), or can get a meaningful experience without finishing it
- Made by an #LGBTQIA+ creator and touching in some way on #queer themes
Thanks!

Er bestaat zelfs een documentaire #ThisIsRockbitch die hun leven in de commune en daarbuiten laat zien.

Er werden zelfs #WomenOnly concerten gegeven, waaronder tijdens de #GayGames in Amsterdam.
In 2002 stoppen ze omdat de platenmaatschappij al sinds 1997 geen opnames wil uitbrengen, ze blijven nog tot 2002 optreden zonder The Beast, puur als #allfemaleband.

'The Gay Games', well #LGBTQ Games really... what a great idea. Also, that it's about the taking part more than the winning. I think I'd need to register on behalf of #Antarctica to stand any chance of being my country's top athlete for any event. And even then all it would take is one sports-minded #penguin... (and yes, those hashtags are a bit random!). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/64451880 #athletics #GayGames #sport #LGBTQOlympics

I signed up to compete in the #GayGames in #HongKong next year. I'll be competing in Martial Arts (as I've been training in #MuayThai). It'll take place over 3-11 November.
What's great about the Gay Games is that anybody can participate, regardless of gender, age, disability, etc. (which is more than I can say for disability-centric sporting competitions). There's also a focus on "participation, inclusion, and personal best" rather than winning or being the "best in the world."

I guess it's time for an #Introduction. I'm a #queer #DisabilityJustice activist in #Meanjin (#Brisbane) on Turrbal & Yuggera Country.
While I aspire to #anarchism, a lot of my advocacy as an #ActuallyAutistic person is around #DisabilityRights -- it's easier for me and other cognitively-disabled people to tangibly grasp and try to build power. I've done a lot of advocacy around ending subminimum wage; besides labour issues I've also worked on eugenics/euthanasia, housing, deinstitutionalisation, accessibility, & other disability issues.
I'm a high school drop-out (formerly attended segregated special ed) & currently studying for my Bachelor's in Public Policy & Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Studies. I'm pretty open about receiving supports (via the NDIS) in order to both stay alive/healthy & to connect with my community.
Outside of activism I enjoy storytelling, tabletop RPGs, Assassin's Creed, fantasy & scifi (I'm very sad about #Westworld), fitness, muay thai, wrestling, cycling, & anything on water.
I'd like to compete in Hong Kong at the #GayGames next year for martial arts.
