TFW in the course of an archaeological dig on LiveJournal you seem to have found yourself, except Norwegian, and wonder whyyyy you never crossed paths back in the day. Other than that I am not into The Mighty Boosh and not really into Red Dwarf slash (just the show in general)... bah! just look at that fannish interests list! even "purple hair" and about my same age!

(

kahvi here is an RP journal and not the same person. Well, I assume not the same person.)

eta:

kahvi seems to be the same person, though, judging by the list of fandoms their works belong to, and is even likely to be still active (last posted December 2024).

Disney, my Dad, and the Very Bisexual T-Shirt

So, between Pride being yesterday here in Boston, and Father’s Day being today, I thought I’d tell you a story today of what Being Queer in the Nineties was like, and also (another) story about Dad.

To be clear, being queer in the 1990s was definitely not always a joy. But in this case… well, you’ll see.

When I was in my early 20s, my parents decided to take me and my brother on a cruise vacation. This was exciting for a number of reasons, not least because my parents were awesome to hang out with. It was always fun to spend time with them and my brother, who was then 16 and had at that point gotten into the Grateful Dead. (Jerry Garcia was still alive, then.)

If you’re new here, my Dad was a Chinese-filipino immigrant who came to the States to be a doctor (and send money home to support his 9 younger siblings). Mom, meanwhile, was born in rural upstate New York, spent her teens in Florida, and then moved to NYC after college. Mom was the one who raised my brother and me to be the progressive humanists we are, while Dad often seemed a little bit baffled by “American” attitudes.

Also, it was our first time on a cruise ship.

For people in the USA/US citizens outside who haven’t seen it but might be interested,

communityactionusa seems to be somewhere to keep up with protests and join letter writing campaigns.

Not much use for those of us from other countries merely supportive but I know I have Americans on here who may not have seen it and may be interested, so I thought I’d pass the details on. Getting traction for things is always difficult.
