A lot of our friends are suffering insomnia right now. So are we. Perhaps, in the back of our minds, we’re trying to hammer out exactly what to do with ourselves; how to actively exist, live, and create day-to-day in a post-Trump world.
It’s something we’ll have to figure out every morning for the next four years, as we wade through that hour’s fresh cesspool of “alternative truths” and misdirecting tweets. That’s not the morning most of us want to wake up to everyday, but here we are.

Well, not a moment too soon, here’s a reassuring pep talk from LGBTQ historian Tim McCarthy, who, in an interview with Davey Wavey, tells us exactly what we should all be doing with ourselves:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Have sex. Have lots and lots and lots of sex. Sex has always been a revolutionary act, especially queer sex. It both honors the protest that’s required to stand up to the world around us, but it also honors and validates who we are. So, number one, if that’s all you can do, you’re still doing a great thing, okay?
Okay, we’ll get on that.
The interview — which covers an unbelievable amount of ground in two minutes — should be seen in its entirely, so here it is:

“Sex has always been a revolutionary act, especially queer sex. ”
Bullshit. Solipsistic apolitical bullshit.

In that case Milo Y is a revolutionary queer black rights freedom fighter

You think that prissy thing has actual sex? We are talking about real, face to face, man-sex. Not blowing straight truck drivers in bathrooms, hoping they are too drunk to beat you up after they come. And certainly not jacking off looking at pictures of Trump or the men on the Storm Front website. I suspect that is the kind of sex he has since he thinks we should all be married and in the closet and only having sex on the side.

dwes I agree, I want to get with men who validate me for me and not as just someone to give a blowjob too.
I actually hate that about the gay community now, I want to make connections and freindships with other gay men, but often times it just turns into casual meaningless sex, and all that does is validate those who see homosexual men as perverted sex addicts

Gee, I’d have thought an elderly guy having one pierced eyebrow and a weird haircut was a “revolutionary act.” It’s so hard to guess nowadays – lol.

I just thought of a great way to fill in those “unemployed periods” on your resume, just say you were a Gay Activist

Only if you’re applying for a job at a store that sells d!ldos and has peep show booths.

Oi Queerty, post-Trump starts when he’s gone. This chap is talking about during Trump, surely.

…the human race has always had problem concerning SEX and we’re the only animal on the plant that does..roll on the future-it’s just a shame I’m not there and can’t be….

Wow. Davey Wavey talking to people about having sex, and lots of it. Nothing revolutionary here, especially for Davey considering that is all he ever talks about. Another slow day at the office Queerty? Was this a coin toss between Davey and a Reddit thread?
