Queer Eye Candy

Go check out Queer Eye Candy, a new website from Sinclair Sexsmith of Sugarbutch Chronicles. In Sinclair's words:

This country is afraid of us, but they don't know who we are.

We're hot, we're fierce, we're vulnerable, we're beautiful, we're in love, we're horribly ugly, we're scared, we're tender-hearted, we're dog mommies and daddies, we're parents, we're children, we're neices and nephews, we're married, we're bachelors, we're rednecks, we're blue-collar, we're construction workers, we're political pundits, we're musicians, we're drag performers, we're community organizers, we're angry, we're activists, we're just us.

Let's show off who we are. Let's show those who don't know what we look like, let's show off who we love and who we spend our time with, let's show off our joyous communities and our heartaches and our hardships and our work and our play and our joy.

Let's celebrate ourselves, just as we are.

Add it to your google reader, and consider submitting a pic of you or someone you know.

The butch in that picture is hot. Just plain hot. (pardon me, not knowing the person in question, I don't know how she/he/zie defines herself/himself/hirself. damn I hate pronouns.)

Hi there-- I'm Laurel, the founder of the blog We Are Not the Enemy, which this photo originally appeared on. Thanks Sinclair to calling attention to it and for contributing to the visual rep of queer folks.

I wanted to let you know the photo credit: this picture was originally taken and submitted to WANTE by photographer Mitchell Maher; mitchellmaher.org

Thanks again.
