happy july, qweirdos! this month we're focusing on indoctrination. since our communities have been accused of such mischief for decades, we figured it was high time to do our part in this grand gay agenda we've all queerly conspired to perpetrate on the straights. this week we're talking about "conversion therapy" a.k.a.

somewhere over the rainbow, there's an oasis for the glittery ones! that's right, qweirdos, our pals jj & tone are working their tails off to say GAY every day in florida. they are establishing an assisted living facility for the silver foxes of the rainbow! currently, there are only two in existence in the united states, and they are in the blue country of cali, so the need is real. too many of our trailblazers are forced back into the closet or face severe abuse and discrimination in these facilities, so creating a safe space for our golden years is so important. and with the current climate of anti-lgbtq+ action, finding an oasis is paramount. you can find out more about the rainbow oasis here. you can purchase rainbow oasis merch here. you can donate to this amazing venture here. you can apply for a job here. you can contact jj & tone here. be queer & stay weird! xox - ny
