POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Going into this year, I want to highlight a little bit of trans history by talking about one of the more underrepresented members of queer liberation: Lou Sullivan.

Lou Sullivan was a gay trans activist born in 1951 in Milwaukee who began socially transitioning in the early 70s. Despite having a supportive family, his sexuality in conflict with his gender caused him to oscillate in and out of the closet for a number of years before fully coming out for good in 1979. He was denied gender affirming care because of his sexuality until 1980. In the 80s he founded FTM International, an organization for trans men that persists till this day. In 1991, like many gay men, he died of AIDS after being diagnosed in 1986. On his diagnosis, Lou said “I took a certain pleasure informing the gender care clinic that even though their program wouldn’t let me live as a Gay man, it looks like I’m going to die as one.” He would be 72 on June 16th.

There’s a misconception that all trans people started off as gender non-conforming gay people, and the idea of gay trans people is a new one or a trend. I find a lot of comfort in Lou’s story because it mirrors my own, and that of many other gay trans people. And it’s important that we remember him this pride month, lest we forget the whole of where we came from.

Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Now go be loud and unapologetic for those who can’t. It’s what Lou would’ve wanted.

Unfortunately yall we have reached the final level and the game is almost over. This Thursday will be the final Next Level Gaymer Night ever. Come out to hang with me, @embry0fficially and @iggy.bank for one final party in the OCH Dark Bar.

In all seriousness, it was a privilege to be a co-host of this legacy night. A one month stay turned into two years for tangelo at Gaymer Night. And this event has been running since August of 2022 which isn’t too shabby. I’m going to miss playing games with all of you every Thursday, I’m going to miss seeing the divas from Whipped and Titty Tournament come through the bar for a quick shot or round of Mario Kart, and I’m going to miss the good conversations, the drink specials, the new friends, and my co-hosts Iggy and Embry. I couldn’t have done it without you two. And to @gatorrgorr for always slinging the best drinks in the city.

Now it’s time for one last lap. taken in Austin, Texas by @mctangelo
