You’re Not a Top or a Bottom. You Just Don’t Understand Sex
“In a penetration-obsessed sexual culture, who’s a “top” and who’s a “bottom” becomes a dealbreaker, cock-blocking far too many potentially amazing partners.

But when you expand and open up sex, you become compatible with almost everyone, top or bottom.” Hornet

Since it was such a social no-no, and it didn’t come with a promise of roses and unicorns and yellow brick roads for my future, I didn’t want to be gay. And the thought of anal sex was like “what am I signing up for? If I find sex with women parts repulsive, why would I swap over to anal with a man?” Talking with many gay men, young and old, throughout my life, many said they remember thinking butt play was a totally disgusting thought, giving or receiving, but this belief was just a phase. We all would find our position in life and in the bedroom eventually.

The Babadook Is A Frightening, Fabulous New Gay Icon
“Fierce,” perhaps the greatest compliment that Twitter’s gay conglomerate could ever confer, is as apt an adjective as any for the Internet’s unlikely new queer icon.

The film, released in 2014, concluded with the Babadook’s confinement in the family’s basement, but, thanks to a rampant, original “Babadiscourse” on Tumblr, he has since risen to new renown, styled and celebrated by online visionaries eager to reinterpret his every feature as a sign of queer resistance.” New Yorker
