“I buried the girl I had been because she ran into all kinds of trouble. I tried to erase every memory of her, but she is still there, somewhere. She is still small and scared and ashamed, and perhaps I am writing my way back to her, trying to tell her everything she needs to hear.”

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).
I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.
Edit: this post is blowing up so I’m gonna shamelessly plug my art account. Follow me and I’ll draw the Godzilla lesbians @thenonbinaryfriendnamedcrumb
2nd edit: Yes. Female friends dance with eachother. But why can’t they be lesbians?? I’ve seen people on this website ship two men for astronomically less.

we made a list of the most queer-friendly colleges in smaller towns/more rural areas!

we made a list of the most queer-friendly colleges in smaller towns/more rural areas!
good news is you don’t necessarily have to go to school in a big city to find lgbtq+ community, as long as you know what to ask and look for.
these are our top 10:
1) Antioch College (Yellow Springs, OH)
Antioch stands out because the school publicly reports an extraordinarily queer student community: 82% of students identify as LGBTQ+ and 16% identify as transgender (from its student survey). They have a culture built around belonging, social justice, and real-world learning, in a town that has its own long-standing reputation for LGBTQ+ inclusion.
2) College of the Atlantic (Bar Harbor, ME)
COA is ranked #1 LGBTQ-Friendly by The Princeton Review (based on student survey responses about peer treatment across sexual orientation and gender identity/expression). It’s a tiny campus in a tiny town off the coast of Maine and has a “human ecology” approach to education that emphasizes values, systems, and impact.
3) Wellesley College (Wellesley, MA)
Wellesley consistently shows up as a campus where LGBTQ+ students report feeling supported (#4 LGBTQ-Friendly ranking in The Princeton Review) and haw q visible, student-led queer community life and queer culture that has its own traditions and continuity, not just offices and policies.
4) Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT)
Wesleyan is ranked #6 LGBTQ-Friendly by The Princeton Review and has visible academic and campus-life infrastructure that signals queer community is integrated into the school, not siloed. Strong arts + activism + intellectual culture tends to create a campus where queer students can find community across multiple scenes — not just in one designated “queer” space.
5) Smith College (Northampton, MA)
Smith lands high because it has a well-known queer student culture with concrete, practical inclusion signals, like a stated admissions policy that explicitly includes self-identified trans women and visible, day-to-day supports like a published map of gender-neutral bathroom locations. It’s in a small city (hello “Lesbianville, USA!”) where off-campus queer community is also deeply woven into the place so the sense of belonging doesn’t end at the campus gates.
6) Mount Holyoke College (South Hadley, MA)
Mount Holyoke is explicit about who it’s for: it states it welcomes female, trans, and nonbinary students, which is a major clarity point for students considering women’s colleges and wondering whether they’ll truly be included. Strong “queer legacy” energy with LGBTQ+ communityhistory, continuity, and tradition rather than feeling new or fragile.
7) Bennington College (Bennington, VT)
Bennington’s placement is supported by student-reported climate (ranked #5 LGBTQ-Friendly by The Princeton Review) and a campus culture known for self-expression and student-driven community-building which is extra important in a small-town setting.
8) Oberlin College (Oberlin, OH)
Oberlin has a long-running reputation for progressive culture and offers practical inclusion infrastructure, including clear housing policies that support gender diversity. Activism, arts, and identity aren’t side quests, they’re part of the college’s public identity.
9) Kenyon College (Gambier, OH)
Kenyon makes the list because it backs inclusion with structure. It reports a five-star Campus Pride Index rating and supports community through Unity House plus widely available gender-inclusive housing options on a small-town campus that still manages to build real, durable LGBTQ+ spaces.
10) Grinnell College (Grinnell, IA)
Grinnell earns its spot because it has a visible, named hub for LGBTQIA+ community — the Stonewall Resource Center — and a campus culture that consistently emphasizes belonging and student support.
any others you think we should include?
& some more resources for you here, like questions to ask on a college tour, must-have college experiences, & how to find community on campus!

love him. love him and let him love you. do you think anything else under heaven really matters? and how long, at the best, can it last? since you are both men and have everywhere else to go? only five minutes, only five minutes, and most of that helas! in the dark. and if you think of them as dirty then they will be dirty—they will be dirty because you will be giving nothing, you will be despising your flesh and his. but you can make your time together anything but dirty; you can give each other something which will make both of you better—forever—if you will not be ashamed, if you will only not play it safe…you play it safe long enough…and you’ll end up trapped in your own dirty body, forever and forever and forever—like me.

PRIDE IS HERE FOLKS! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

and we’re incredibly thrilled, honored, and moved to kick things off by partnering with the historic The Stonewall Inn ( @thestonewallinn ) in New York City!!

since June 1969 when its LGBTQ+ patrons defiantly fought back against NYPD police brutality, The Stonewall Inn continues championing inclusivity, combatting ongoing discrimination and harassment towards queer communities.

lgbtq+ youth are bringing education and resources to their own communities when formal education falls short

and ya’ll could, too. using our Changemakers grants…
…youth leaders in Delaware recognized that while school staff wanted to be supportive, they lacked the how. rather than wait, students developed Proud Schools, their student-led curriculum that has now equipped thousands of educators across the state with inclusive language and best practices to better support students. peep student leader Shelby presenting their work to congresswoman Sarah McBride:
in Wisconsin, our grantees are ensuring that the legacy of resistance and celebration central to ballroom and drag culture is taught to LGBTQ+ youth, particularly underserved youth of color, through the Successor Ballroom/Drag Show with the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center!
youth leader Bishop said, “Receiving this grant isn’t just funding for a project… it means we have the power and resources to turn our ideas into impact, to create lasting change, and to show that youth leadership is not only possible, it’s essential.”
and in North Dakota, when a challenging legislative year threatened to silence LGBTQ+ students, they didn’t stay quiet. they launched Stirring up Change, a community coffeehouse where LGBTQ+ youth and the broader community can speak up and fight back:
have an idea like this to bring resources and education to your own community? you can apply now for your own It Gets Better: Changemakers grant of up to $10,000 through May 3rd!
