This content analyzes the "Draco/Harry" (Draco and Harry Potter) ship within the Harry Potter fandom, arguing that the books provide substantial textual evidence for a romantic or deeply complex relationship between the two characters, often overlooked due to compulsory heterosexuality and authorial intent versus fan interpretation.

alright I should probably get back to
Brian now he's probably crying or
something Harry Potter is a children's
book series about a boy wizard and John
Lennon lovechild Harry Potter first book
was published in 1997 as an instant
success and has since been a driving
force in the book and tumblr social
justice world it is also a successful
franchise of seven good movies and one
disappointing one let you figure that
one out it literally made the careers of
several people Harry Potter defined
fandom culture at the dawn of the
Internet it was not uncommon for
unknowing 12 year olds to stumble upon
some dreary fanart and be horrified
and/or intrigued dreary shaped the way
that fan made music videos would be made
for like decades to come dreary shaped
the way that fan made music videos were
made that fan art was distributed that
even fan fiction was archived the first
known fanfiction about Harry Potter and
Draco Malfoy was published in 2000 and
that's just the first known one I have
some dirty manuscripts from the wool I
won't lie the history of this ship
spanned multiple websites blogs
dedicated archives Windows Movie Maker
music videos rarey
has its own culture Rowling herself is
quite aware of the fandom Congrats
everyone you like where we are now you
like where humanity has brought itself
to it's great so is there anything in
the text that actually makes Drury seem feasible
feasible [Applause]
the history of the Malfoy Potter
relationship is more complicated than
the history of American interference in
Latin America let me give you a quick
rundown just in case you're a hermit and
don't know the story in the HP universe
wizards and magic live as underground
gay commies that have their own sets of
political conflicts and cultures they
live secretly away from non-magical folk
because you know the kind of a history
of burning them on magical folk by the
way they're called muggles I mean of
course they wouldn't want to be friends
with muggles like I don't want to be
burned or become a metaphor for
McCarthyism Harry Potter is a boy wizard
in this little universe as baby his
parents were killed by this notorious
and powerful egg named Voldemort who
also tried to kill him using the killing
curse but then Harry Connor survived
which has never been happened before and
Baltimore lost his power which kinda
made Harry like maybe a little bit of a
big deal cuz like it's never been done before
before
no Baltimore it's a thinly veiled
metaphor for it there reminds me the
time I tried to kiss someone's parents
but was also thrown by the power of love
why my love I mean the police anyway
since Harry got like Batman by the big V
they took him to be raised by his
muddled aunt and uncle Don and uncle art
sort of in on the whole wizard thing but
you know the aunt despite being related
to wizards doesn't have any magical
blood in her just because so they kind
of hate wizards so they never really
tell Harry and that worked out for
exactly eleven years at age eleven Harry
gets invited to join this magical school
called Hogwarts so he finally does learn
that he's a wizard
as of going to the school make some new
friends ends up in a serious committed
relationship also fights dark magic and
done that you know that one guy he
killed his parents
more yeah that a lot of a lot of new
things start happening to Harry and it's
kind of cool and they make seven books
about it and eight movies one too many
all right now that I'm done giving you
the explanation that like three of you needed
needed
let me give those three of you a
different explanation who the heck is
well Draco Malfoy is an official gay
disaster who comes from a high-profile
Wizarding family higher profile than
Harry's because it's because his
family's there when he learned that he
was going to school with Harry freakin
Potter the only wizards who survived the
killing curse and the perch and
single-handedly bring down Voldemort as
a baby
oh well Malfoy was in three so of course
he tries to make friends with Harry by
offering his hand and his heart and of
course Harry is like dude you're an [ __ ]
Duff's a rivalry for the ages begins my
after being told no for the first time
and ever
Draco's pining sort of manifests itself
until little immature fit and a small
obsession with Harry despite not being
like a huge character from now on all of
Draco's appearances just revolve around
trying to impress Harry and get his attention
attention
that's literally his entire life and
it's not just the occasional hey Harry
you look really stupid it's more like
hey Harry your beautiful green eyes that
shine against the sunlight and make me
feel very warm are really stupid you can
see a little interesting character
dynamic building here I mean it's a
little rivalry a little bit of
adolescent crush it's it's intriguing
it's one of the most fascinating
relationships in the entire universe
Draco really cares about what Harry
thinks of him every single interaction
is just like hey Harry I'm so much
better than you you want to discuss it
maybe talk about it I mean cuz I'm not
so much better than you haha everyone
begins to notice straight goes let's
call it a fascination with Harry Potter
even Draco's dad is pretty annoyed with
Draco's constant hey Dad
Harry's so perfect can you please make
me as perfect as him everyone thinks
he's so smart wonderful part of the scar
is broomstick you have told me this at
least a dozen times already said mr.
Malfoy with a quelling look at his son
why if he hates Harry so much why does
he seem so fixated on the idea of him
listen I absolutely hate Mitch McConnel
it hurts to think about him it hurts to
be in the same world as him but if I
mention him in every single conversation
it's kind of baby weird are you telling
me you're not immensely turned on by his
supple girdle it is really simple yes I
know the same you're supposed to keep
your friends close and your enemies
closer but you're not supposed to have
thirty-seven posters of them and like
four shrines dedicated to them that's
bordering on not okay I mean you're
especially not to marry them and like
have their children come on that's but
Draco's dislike for here he is it's a
little bit understandable I mean it's
ever since he was young Draco was told
that he would be destined for great
things he would be the head of this
Wizarding family this great powerful
family but Harry over here he's some
ordinary Wizarding kid he comes up with
his scar and he's like yeah I have a
destiny I'm the chosen one [ __ ] hell
yeah brother
the Drake was like well damn Harry has a
clear path he is the chosen one Drake
who wants a path he wants to be the
chosen one by Harry he wants everything
that Harry has fame the talent but
there's something inside of Draco
denying it Draco doesn't understand that
he shouldn't be so worried about what other
other
we'll think of him he needs to know that
it's all about what he needs inside man
you need some self-love and some
self-care man don't worry about that
hairy guy just because he doesn't like
you back come on man you need to get
your act together you need to do some
cool stuff you know like go to the
workout go on a run self-care paint your
nails hell you'd do your hair instead of
that don't just like slick it back with
the whole handful of gel and call it a
day maybe actually like do something
with your hair I mean poor Drake oh he
has so much pressure around him his
family his friends pureblood elitists no
wonder he's so fixated on Harry he
envies him and also wants to dip him in
the moonlight but let's not focus too
much on you know early years of their
relationship there is a limit on how
much I want to talk about 11 to 13
year-olds love lives and that limit is
zero I do not want to have anything to
do with 11 to 13 year olds love lives
okay as a former middle school and
awkward bisexual disaster I don't want
to think about those middle school years
nor do I want to project myself on to
characters that are living through them
again so let us move on to the
adolescent phases of Harry Potter
HP gang grew up together through all the
phases of awkward hairs and odors and
that's something truly special I mean
it's hard to condense you know like
seven years of Draco's obsessing into
just a few highlights but I can hit the
highlights let's go [Music]
Draco's existence before getting in a
dark magic was basically defined by
making fun of Harry I'm sure he had
other hobbies like listening to crunch
or something I'm sure that Draco had
other hobbies like collecting hair gel
but he was his main hobby was being a
Harry Potter fan girl he even made pins
dedicated to Potter I mean they said
Potter stinks but like this guy had Etsy
merge dedicated to the Harry Potter
fandom he was doing things before we did
people hello you know Harry had an
opinion of what Draco thought of him I
mean it certainly wasn't a Draco's level
but it certainly was there I'm fine
said Harry jumping up the thought of
what Draco Malfoy would save he had to
go to the hospital wing was torture now
the height of the dreary relationship is
probably the sixth year Harry Potter and
the pure blood boy he can't stop
thinking about Harry this is getting
kind of weird this is where Harry
literally and canonically has an
obsession with Draco Malfoy I mean this
guy literally an ironic Lee wakes up in
cold sweats in the nights thinking about
Draco Malfoy so let me explain a bit
Harry is 16 he's growing up he's moving
on from becoming a pimply early high
schooler to a nice sweaty young adult
he's also still on his mission to defeat
the newly egg ich and newly ally of all
de mort Voldemort is therefore now
focusing on rebuilding his brand and
stuff and like getting his followers
back these people they're called Death
Eaters it's been a long suspicion of
Harry's that Draco's dad Lucius is also
actually a Death Eater and he's right
now that Voldemort's back Harry suspects
that there's gonna be some sort of plan
to take over Hogwarts and he suspects
that the mastermind behind all of this
will be the one and only Draco Malfoy
and this suspicion slowly turns into an
obsession let's just say that wouldn't
mind like getting married if it meant he
could keep an eye on him
now this sixth book half-blood Prince if
we start to get a glimpse
to Draco Malfoy's actual character we
get to see all these crushers that he's
facing all of this stuff just
surrounding Draco telling him to be
different things pulling him in
different directions and here he is
sitting here with us conscious like yeah
I can't even figure out my sexuality how
am I gonna figure out good and evil he's
under a lot of pressure from Death
Eaters and Voldemort for a cause he
doesn't really actually believe it's a
hard time for Draco let's give us a
space now the descriptions as Harry
stalks Malfoy a kinda nod heterosexual
for example there's this one scene where
Harry is doing you know his casual Draco
stalking he's under his invisibility
cloak they're on a train and he's
watching Malfoy from the carriage Harry
curled and comfortably under the cloak
to ensure that every inch of him
remained hidden and watched pansy stroke
the sleek blond hair off Malfoy's
forehead smirking as she did so as
though anyone would have loved to have
been in her place okay Harry who would
have loved to be in her place
oh you Harry Oh Harry how many times we
have to have this conversation he's
taken I'm sorry you waited too long
Harry was so busy staring at Malfoy he
did not notice Coyle reaching up for his
trunk as he swung it down it hit Harry
hard on the side of the head yes I know
studying all the beautiful curvatures of
Tom Feldman's face it's a task it is a
task I understand your pain now Harry
and Malfoy were alone in the compartment
where have I seen this situation before
it's fully familiar oh yeah
fanfiction.net in 2005 way to go
JK Rowling first you make Dumbledore
secretly gay now you steal from fan
fiction off the internet how low are you
gonna go it gets worse
let me just move a little bit of context
for you it's important context but let
me just remove it for you his whole body
revealed with his legs curled absurdly
into the cramped kneeling position
he couldn't move a muscle he could only
gaze up at Malfoy who smiled broadly all
right there is some editor out there who
saw this and was like sir model this is
weird but just said okay let's put it in whatever
whatever
listen Dumbledore was secretly gay but
how didn't nobody pick up on this like
how did not a lot of people pick up on
this this isn't like the movies where
acting or like cinematography can make
something unintentionally be very
explicitly romantic literature is super
deliberate if something is weirdly
romantic or off it's because it is
written to be that way this isn't an
accident things aren't accidents in
literature you don't just splatter
things on the page and just expect
things to happen unless you're Stephen
King of course you know when given
actual context kind of like really bad
cuz Malfoy's trigger warning like
beating him up and that's very unhealthy
in a relationship I don't think that
this ship was meant to be a model
relationship in any sense of the word we
can acknowledge these aspects of the
relationship while still making
healthier relationships and fanfiction
were hairy and Draco you know take baths
and drink coffee together now this book
is long and it still manages to convey
throughout the meet of the book that
despite his determination to catch
Malfoy out Harry had no luck all over
the next couple of weeks although he
consulted the map as often as he could
sometimes making unnecessary visits to
the bathroom between lessons to search
it he did not once see Malfoy anywhere suspicious
suspicious
Harry however had never been less
interested in Quidditch he was rapidly
becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy now
getting a bit obsessed with Malfoy Harry
I mean thinking about missing a mosque
just to follow him
Harry spared at Malfoy Harry lay awake
for a very long time in the darkness he
was determined to be Draco Malfoy at
which even if he could not yet proven
suspicions about him Harry did not sleep
well at night he lay awake for what felt
like hours wondering how mouth always
using the Room of Requirement Harry's
mind worked feverishly as dreams when he
finally fell asleep were broken and
disturbed by images of Malfoy what is it
I hate Mitch McConnel I do not spend
sleepless nights thinking about him so
you don't think about his girdle well
yeah but I don't spend sleepless nights
thinking about it wait so you don't
spend sleepless nights thinking about
his girdle if you hate someone you don't
walk around every waking moment of your
life thinking about them and talking
about them to other people
that's kind of weird Harry you're gay is
showing put that away and don't take it
out until June when corporations let you
as I was saying this stocking lets Harry
see Malfoy his vulnerability he sees him
less as a D hateable teen heartthrob and
more of a person and Harry realized with
his chalk so huge it seemed to route him
to the spot that Malfoy was crying
actually crying tears streaming down his
pale face into the grimy Basin Malfoy
gasped and gulped and then the great
shudder looked up into the cracked
mirror and saw Harry staring at him over
his shoulder listen having the person
you're supposed to despise come and see
you and cry and have feelings not a cute
look so you know
the solution is now he gets mad and they
have a little good old-fashioned stick
fight now hare uses some dark magic
which makes Malfoy look even less cute
but we do get to see something even
though Malfoy is supposed to be the
enemy Harry still feels bad draco
becomes less and less of a stock villain
and more of an actual sympathetic
character and this is all through
Harry's perspective but you know Harry
is still suspicious that Drake is a part
of his races gangs so Harry and the
headmaster of Hogwarts Dumbledore go on
a little adventure together
but since bumble Bor isn't actually
gonna be at Hogwarts for that time being
Harry's a little suspicious that Drake
was actually gonna start to you know
employed the plan so in the book Harry
and the headmaster Dumbledore go on a
little adventure together to do some
important fighting evil stuff and since
bumble Bor isn't gonna be there for the
time being
Harry is a little suspicious that Malfoy
is gonna make a move and not the move he
wants on him so let's get spoilery
listen this book is literally more than
a decade old if you haven't got your
[ __ ] together and either read or watch
this and this is literally just your
fault okay I am blaming you at this
moment this is your fault
please go so of all the mort's plan was
to get draco to kill bumblebee and of
course you know Draco can't do that he's
not a killer
of all the Mort said like if you don't
kill this dude I'm gonna kill you [ __ ]
so like do it it's important to note
Draco is not evil
he's just caught up in all this BS he
doesn't understand or care about like me
when my parents were getting a divorce
do you have something we need to talk
about buddy I think it's pretty obvious
I want to talk about my parents divorce
Bal de mort's just basically doing this
to punish Draco's parents they kind of
screwed Voldemort over at one point so
he wants his parents to be like tortured
because like their son is a killer now
or else he's just gonna kill their son
or something like it's it's I've learned
the whole situation sighs so when do me
do in Harry return to Hogwarts Draco is
right there ready
kill Doofenshmirtz a dooblydoo told
Harry to go into hiding because you know
he always has some weird old wise person
gay magical persons secret plan its
cryptic it's weird isn't tell anyone but
you know he's like Harriet so it was
always away listen the Big D always has
some cryptic plan that he never explains
to anyone but somehow it all works out
so we're just gonna trust him
Dumbledore knows that this [ __ ] has to
go down in order for this whole plan to
work I feel like the movie Draco does a
good job of showing off how desperate
but then the Death Eaters come in and
like puck everyone
I mean Draco could have been like
awesome but and redeemed the just a
victim of circumstance unfortunately but
I think that there's something to be
said about Malfoy despite everyone
telling him what to do who would it be
and despite Malfoy and finally having a
clear path to follow still can't do it
Malfoy did not speak his mouth was open
his wand still trembling Harry thought
he saw it drop by a fraction all he'd
have to do is just kill this guy it's
super easy but he just doesn't just
literally cannot because that's not his
character and Harry sees a sliver of
that as Draco fails to complete his task
now this brings us to the final chapter
37 I mean not of the book of the Harry
Potter story the Deathly Hallows am I
gonna explain everything that happens in
this book no I'm just here to tell
everyone how gay everyone is if you want
to actually read it go to like a Borders
or something despite being a former
influential Wizarding family the
Malfoy's are kind of Baltimore's [ __ ]
draco has to watch his parents be
subjected to all this [ __ ] talk and
stuff I mean everything about the Dark
Arts is now dead to Draco he hates his
life now he is the living embodiment of
a GNote even Harry feels bad for him
Harry felt sickened by what he had seen
by the use to which Draco was now being
put by Baltimore
he knows that Draco isn't doing this
because he's evil trinkles being abused
and manipulated into doing things that
he doesn't understand or care about and
he feels empty inside Harry feels
sympathy for a person that he's always
despised he's starting to see a part
that other people aren't seeing so
anyways Terry is now unlike this quest
the fine thing is called Horcruxes and
oh yeah he's also the most wanted person
alive so that a lot has happened let's
just say that so Horcruxes are like
supposed to be these things that hold a
part of the person's soul so Baltimore
made like seven
them like they hold his soul and if you
want to kill Baltimore you have to find
the core Croix's like destroy them and
who cares let's just get to the gay part
so anyways
Harry and the gang is captured by Death
Eaters which is not a great thing for
them so the Death Eaters have met the
Malfoy house but they're not really sure
if is is actually Harry Potter because
Harry got sort of beat up and so he just
looks like John Lennon with a swollen
face so they ask Draco I I can't be sure
said Draco
he seemed this scared of looking as
hairy as Harry was of looking at him
Harry saw Draco's face up close now
Draco's expression was full of
reluctance even fear ah I don't know he
said and he walked away toward the
fireplace Harry and Draco finally saw
each other the two faces that have
confronted each other multiple times the
eyes that never properly met finally met
Draco knew it was Harry there the whole time
time
you just never said anything about it he
sort of helped Harry for some reason hmm
at the end we get this final emotional
confrontation between Harry and Draco
Harry isn't this for looking for the
final Horcrux and Draco was there with
his gang and Drake who was still on the
dark side of you no magic but he's kind
of teetering well somehow the entire
room gets set on fire cuz everyone's
incompetent I guess but something
happens Harry and his gang managed to
almost escape but since Harry is
suddenly a good guy and may have a crush
on Draco he goes back and saves the love
of his life he saved Draco like that
problematic image of the damsel in
distress he doesn't give a [ __ ] about
mouth with other henchmen but Draco is a
must save Malfoy was screaming and
holding Harry so tightly it hurt this
room well with everyone saved Harry
finally fulfills the destiny and you
know the egg man is dead everything is
great everything is jovial and then
begin an epilogue where Malfoy's hair is
receding for some reason some people
just kind of choose to ignore the
epilogue you know where despite against
all statistical odds everyone marries
their highschool sweetheart for some
reason despite them never having any
chemistry or anything or interesting
dynamics with are we gonna do another
broken home joke or is it overplayed at
this point the Harry Potter's story in
theory continues based on whether or not
you think that cursed child is actually
canon the only cool thing about curse
child is that Harry and Draco's kids and
them falling in love with each other
which is kinda ironic in the play they
seem to be on good terms I don't care
what you did or who you saved you are a
constant curse on my family Harry Potter
yeah real good
old pals we get some confirmation of
things we already knew like Draco's envy
of harry and fun things happen like
draco talks about his deceased wife you
know what I loved most about your mother
she could always help me find light in
the darkness Wow
I better him and Harry actually got off
to a good start and then Draco didn't
really have
like all the pressure on him and all
those eyes on him they could have really
had something together now unfortunately
you just can't pull out gay where there
is only some gay I mean after all Harry
is married to Ginny
one thing that is a problem with Drury
is Harry's compulsory heterosexuality is
Harry truly a a movable heterosexual
well the thing about texts is that
sometimes there are things below text
that scream a different meaning
well Harry does have a habit of staying
up at night thinking about boys so
perhaps it is immovable just immovably
bisexual as Harry is a growing
adolescent throughout the book it is
clear the person that Harry is going to
become in love with Draco Malfoy the
book is written in third person but it's
from Harry's limited perspective so any
descriptions in the book are basically
Harry's descriptions everything in that
book is tied with Harry in a deep way so
let's say if and when the book starts
googling over some boys that may be an
indication of Harry's own England first
let's think about how Harry grew up his
on and uncle were pretty conservative
and they hated everything about being
different Harry grew up during a time
when HIV and AIDS fears were a huge
thing and that made homophobia tight
along with it really rampant The
Wizarding World may have been accepting
of lgbtq+ people but Harry wasn't raised
by wizards he was raised by muggles so
it wouldn't be weird to consider that
Harry just might be a little bit
uncomfortable with being openly queer
but the book is like Harry's own secret
little diary what does it have to say
about other dudes just let's just take a
look let's take a gander let's just look
Cedric Diggory was an extremely handsome
boy of around 17
Cedric look at the part of a champion so
much more than heated exceptionally
handsome with a straight nose dark hair
and gray eyes you have been starting to
collect the right cetera no don't get me
wrong you are allowed to appreciate the
male form without wanting to get all up
in there but considering everything
Draco's relationship with him Harry's
gay dad's you know the whole ogling we
might start getting an indication of
what Harry leans to I mean none of this
did none of this definitely like assert
something but it's all just things that
are in the air
oh yeah the gay dads I should elaborate
all of Harry's role models have been
gayer by dudes now sis het people can
and should have lgbtq+ role models that
they look up to and they see is a good
person but doesn't erase the fact that
where people tend to have role models
who are other queer people just because
it's nice to see somebody who's just
like you doing things that you never imagined
imagined
now not all but a lot of the people that
Harry's looked up to have not been very
you know like straight Dumbledore for
one is pretty obvious he's just the gay
guy yeah if you don't know
JK Rowling sword a Loki Heike confirm
the Dumbledore is just gay in 2007 she
was like oh yeah that one wizard guy
that I never like mentioned about like
ever being anything else than anything um
um
he's gay she even says that he's in love
with this other wizard named Grindelwald
despite not ever showing that and once
given the chance to not showing it at
all thanks now listen just for logically
speaking the Wizarding World probably
knew that Dumbledore was gay
I mean after his death there was a big
expose published on him and I'm sure
there was something about the sexual
dimension that he had with Grindelwald
so Harry's hero was a gay guy he's
always gonna be a mentor to this guy and
his kid is named after
that's a-ok who else was influential to Harry
Harry
oh yeah Sirius and Lupin and they were
influential to each other in gay ways
listen Sirius and Lupin were super gay
for each other have a video on it go
watch it click the ads right now if
there's something you can quote me on is
that serious and Lupin where the love
but actually though Harry's only father
figures like like an actual his
adolescence was serious and Lupin
basically those guys had some really
homoerotic tension
not to mention Lupin is actually an aids
metaphor as mentioned by JK Rowling
think about it
harry has probably been bombarded with
homophobia throughout his childhood
especially growing up in the 80s and 90s
when the AIDS crisis was grossly used as
a way to fuel that homophobia but here
areas fully accepting of his gay mentor
Dumbledore and his two gay dads Lupin
and Sirius Dumbledore and Lupin showed
him that we shouldn't shun people based
on ignorance if Harry was bi or gay or
whatever these are definitely the type
of people that Harry would especially
choose to look up to I think that's
pretty nifty well let's talk about Ginny
for a second Ginny is Harry's high
school sweetheart and eventual wife she
is his best friend Ron's sister she had
a crush on him in the beginning and
eventually Harry reciprocated is their
relationship as interesting as say
Hermione and Ron's nope does Jenny have
a personality nope is it Jenny's fault
that women are underwritten in media nope
nope
whether or not you accept Ron and
Hermione as a good pairing you have to
attest to the fact that they had seven
years of solid build-up and development
Harry just sort of randomly started
liking Ginny
JK Rowling just probably wanted Harry to
have some random love interest and so
Jennea was even though they didn't have
any build-up for development or anything
that makes a relationship interesting if
only there was another character with
such long build-up and development
and yeah I can definitely see if Draco
and Harry's dynamic is problematic
I mean Draco literally bullied Harry for
like a million years which is kind of
not okay
Draco come on but it's kind of like
Pride and Prejudice I mean it's not a
healthy relationship and it's something
that you shouldn't really model your
relationship after at all but it's super
interesting to read and watch it develop
into something actually good that's the
potential I think Drury has more like
Gay Pride and Prejudice right underneath
all that hatred they grew up together
they have something special and you dear
viewer cannot take that away from them
if there is something that we should
take away from this is that Drury
deserves our respect the way that we
talk about and interact with gay fandom
and culture has a lot to do with what
Drury established for that it deserves
our respect and recognition but it's
also like a symptom of the lack of LGBT
plus representation and media and you
and by you I mean that one guy might
wonder but what it doesn't matter if
dumb leader is gay or whatever with
Harry and Draco in love like why do the
gays have to be in everything can we
just have a story where people can just
be people like but the gate ghin have
been everything now even Woody's
bisexual first of all Woody is not
bisexual second of all that's his
business if he is but yeah why does it
matter to all the stupid people out here
listening to this consider maybe
Dumbledore is gay because some people
just happen to be gay and for those of
us that also just happen to be in the
lgbtq+ community an acknowledgement of
that helps remind us that there really
isn't anything wrong with being LGBT
plus it's just another part of living it
isn't an agenda
he's just gay you might know some gay
people maybe you have a gay cousin
that's me
hi and to JK Rowling if you really want
to make people gay don't say it
afterwards and then expect people to be
happy about it especially when actually
given the chance to finally represent
LGBTQ plus people you just brush it off
as a sigh
note lgbtq+ narratives need to be
introduced into all media organically
and responsibly not as an afterthought
that is a footnote and not as an article
dude why am I talking about this stuff
Here I am talking about a 20 year old
ship of average temperature of the earth
