Momo@azteclady
So much pain, so much masking... and for what fucking reason?
Crap, where is my tissue... 😭
Argie@momo @azteclady Got me too. WHERE ARE THOSE TISSUES!
Rob van Kan🔻@azteclady Makes me think of my uncle, twin brother of my mother, from 1936. Was in the Navy, moved from Holland to Switzerland, worked in hotels, drank too much, taught us words in Swiss German like "warme Brüder" (warm brothers: gay men), always *always* had a picture of his friend from Austria in his wallet.
It never rang a bell. It just never did, until one day when I went through the Swiss newspapers he carried with him and there was a gay porn mag between them. I was 25 maybe. Only then...

@azteclady ...did I get it. But we never really talked about it. He once sent my wife and me a holiday card from Rimini, signed by both of them, and that was it.
Life must've been so hard for him.

Jaye 🍊@azteclady Literal tears flowing right now.
Non Blob 
@azteclady Shit sucks real hard right now, and the work we do may not be enjoyed by us in our life times, but damn it someone in the future deserves to have it easier

Gabriel Pettier@azteclady why is the website all blurry now.
Pride_is_a_Protest@azteclady You got me. Everyone is on a journey, you never know when someone will put out a signpost. 🥲

@azteclady, something definitely not quite adding up there between the described clothing and the attitude. (If you don't get it, consider the Lumberjack Song.)
Seiðr@azteclady Well, yep, empathy test material: you don't cry or at least feel something crinkle inside you with this and you are a Replicant.

Olympus MonsTer@azteclady - That poor man and a lifetime of opportunities for happiness lost because "When I was younger we could never..." And it's still weighing him down. 😢
Be kind to your LGBT+ elders (however old you think "old" is) ...life has not been as kind to them as it has been for our youthful rainbow siblings.
Ben Rush@azteclady @AnarchoNinaWrites Too right it is. Thanks for sharing

Hands up if between the tears you're urged to give that fella a hug

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/
MycotropicMan it's dusty or something, gotta wipe my eyes a little.
