Repost: @queer.cinema.archive In the 1967 short film BEHIND EVERY GOOD MAN, gay director Nikolai Ursin shows a day in the life of an unnamed Black transgender woman as she shops, walks the streets of Los Angeles, flirts with men, and later listens to pop music while getting ready for a date.
What makes this film unique is that we are given a glimpse, from a positive perspective, of a Black trans woman in 1960s Los Angeles. Up until this film was created there were few (if any) positive representations of transgender people in mainstream film – even independent film offered very little.
The director/cinematographer for BEHIND EVERY GOOD MAN is Nikolai Ursin. Ursin graduated from film school in 1971 from UCLA. After graduation he created a number of film projects with his partner, Norman Yonemoto. Later, Ursin pursued cinematography, as well as producing, in the burgeoning gay adult film industry.
This film was preserved, and made available, by the UCLA Film & Television Archive (@uclaftvarchive) and is a part of Outfest’s UCLA Legacy Project (@outfest) – You can view the full film on YouTube, Vimeo, as well as Archive.org – check my stories for a link!

Repost: @lambdalegal LGBTQ older adults have demonstrated their resilience and strength throughout our history.
Today, as we mark Honor Our LGBTQ Elders Day, we pay tribute to the giants on whose shoulders we stand. Their courageousness has paved the way for our visibility today and their courage has moved us closer to our dream of full equality.
Too often we see LGBTQ older adults struggle with isolation or face discrimination in assisted living facilities. Our elders deserve better, and let today serve as a reminder for us to uplift and support them.
Check out the link in our bio to find resources from SAGE and learn more.

Being on my beautiful island the place of my birth rejuvenates and heals in away I never thought it would. There is a connection that bewildered me for many years as I scolded myself for missing an island that I thought rejected me, but it was not the island from which the pain came and so I am now able to enjoy the benefits of the healing power of growth and understanding. I am an AMERICAN and I am a child of TOBAGO soil and none of these will change because I AM EVERYTHING I AM MEANT TO BE AND WILL BE!
Sending you all love!

Repost: @words.and.roses Anyone who loves hard knows that
nothing is stronger than softness.
I love how humans embrace their
flower-like heart.
Everyday is a good day
even if I’m at my worst,
for my soul knows that
storms need to pass
and my faith is my shelter.
There’s so much to love,
there’s so much in you to be loved.
I hope you tell people things
that make their heart smile.
I hope you try to listen to their silence
to know what their laughter hides. 🌷

When you have to start a 100m race 100m before the actual starting point, don’t waste time complaining start running. Think about what it looks like to start at a huge disadvantage and be so determined and strong that you do win. #yesyoucan
Have a wonderful day my loves!
