"i know you care for him as much as i do."

This rant has been developing for about a year. Specifically, I said I would talk after the holidays about why I stopped watching House and why I don't really feel like watching Merlin. This rant is why.

I just saw Sherlock Holmes for the third time, and holy cow, it was even more intentionally deliberately shamelessly homoerotic the third

Oh.

You are such a lovely writer, beyond all. God, I wish I could be as eloquent and demanding and just, fuck. I agree with you, and I fear I don't know how else to say anything, without trying to grasp for a solution. I just wish, I don't know. More people should hear you, just more. People that you can urge to see differently, and not just the collective crowd you have here. We're safe, we'll agree in the end term, we're filled with fandoms and wishes. Not everyone thinks or sees this way, and there's not enough to make discreet changes. (but then again, I am know for being famously impatient when I want things to have, and even more helpless.)

I want that so, so, so badly. And sometimes, the ache of not being able to have GLBTQ heroes, the ache of knowing how far we still have to go, gets overwhelming, and I don't know what to do about it except write more gay kisses, and encourage everyone else to write them too, and tell everyone I know that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are in love. Because that story needs to be told. It hasn't been told enough. It never can be.

Your essays. Political standpoints. Fuck, but do I swoon. -salutes-

Thank you for listening. I wish I didn't have to feel this way. But the best thing we can do, I think, is to just try and promote visibility and acceptance every chance we get, whether it's via slash or via the way we live our lives.
