“JUST MARRIED,” Fernando, seated, and his husband, both members of Los Angeles’ Blue Max Motorcycle Club, get pulled over as they leave their wedding ceremony, December 1969. Photo c/o @onearchives. In the mid-twentieth century, the Blue Max Motorcycle Club, along with many other gay motorcycle clubs, provided an alternative to gay bars, which were constantly at risk of police raids and harassment. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #lgbttheirstory #lgbtpride #queerhistorymatters #haveprideinhistory (at Los Angeles, California)

fun fact: motorcycle clubs in the U.S. were founded and run largely by gay men who missed the homosocial camaraderie of being in the U.S. military during WWII. the lifestyle and aesthetics of those motorcycle clubs gave rise to many of the stereotypical/classic gay “looks” (leather, chaps, etc) and indeed to the gay leather scene itself (both the gay male leather/biker scene and the lesbian/dykes on bikes leather/biker scene)

I voted for Dreamer because I knew Polaris wouldn’t need my vote like Dreamer does.

It says a lot about the loss of Dreamer, and what the show loses with her loss, that enough people voted for her that she beat out Reed, Andy and Sage. If she was as insignificant and worthless as some people out there think, she’d be below all 3 of them.

CORRECTION: I have been informed that this is not supposed to be Lorna, but Abigail Brand. Of which I’ve highlighted how this is a sign of Marvel not only being biased toward Lorna, but deliberately trying to be tools about it this time, in this Tumblr reply to someone.

Relayed to me by @lordtimeblogposts, Lorna not only got to show up in the story of Kitty’s wedding, she actually got a line of dialogue!

This is a meaningful change of pace compared to not that long ago when Lorna would be completely excluded from these scenes and events. I’m not sure if it’ll lead to me buying and reading it though. In the past 9 years, Marvel has had so many cases of doing bad stuff to Lorna immediately after I’ve bought their products to support good stuff that now I assume they’re going to do something bad next.

I also feel like I’m supposed to be upset that Lorna’s wearing purple instead of green, especially between two women (Rogue and… someone else I don’t know) wearing green, but I’m not. It’s casual attire. I only get concerned when it’s regular combat attire.

P.S. I like that there are a couple female dancers in the back as well. It’s a nice added touch of inclusivity to not assume having all women means all dancers should be men.

Update with correction.
