Inktober Day 10 - FortuneI Like To Think Aziraphale Goes To Visit Madame Tracy Every Once In A While

Inktober Day 10 - Fortune I like to think Aziraphale goes to visit Madame Tracy every once in a while for tea as a thank you for the lift during the apocalypse. Crowley begrudgingly tags along (because of course he does)

Metatron - Oh great. He's got another one. Support me on ko-fi, commission, and tips

The Captain (BBC Ghosts) + queer culture & history references

Brighton is the queer capital of the UK. During the 1920s and 1930s, Brighton started to flourish as a seafront escape for LGBTQ+ and many gay and lesbian pubs started to establish themselves. During the Second World War, the city was filled with soldiers. Many women and men in the forces were meeting other lesbians and gay people for the first time in their lives. Kylie Minogue has maintained her status as a gay icon for decades. The pop queen has been a long-standing and committed advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. The singer says feels ‘solidarity’ with her gay fans after they ‘protected’ her during tough times. Elton John came out as gay in 1992. He’s a huge advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and is undoubtedly one of the most famous openly gay musicians of all time. Elton John and his husband were among the very first couples to have a civil partnership in the United Kingdom. Musical theatre has been associated with the LGBTQ+ community, especially gay men, for years. There’s also a common stereotype of gay men loving opera, which has a good bit of truth, historically. Difference was tolerated in the theatre, and men who liked other men knew it was easier to meet one another if they hung out with theatre people. Cole Porter’s homosexuality was an open secret. He was married for convenience, and his wife knew he was gay from the start and didn’t mind it. His lyrics were full of not very hidden double entendres. ‘The Wizard of Oz’ became an enduring part of LGBTQ+ community and culture, and actress Judy Garland is considered a gay icon. The expression ‘Friend of Dorothy’ became a code phrase used by gay men to identify themselves to each other. Chandler from ‘Friends’ was often believed to be gay, both by characters on the show and by people in real life. Originally, the writers did want to make him a gay character but straightened him out instead when they were told to ‘write it gay and play it straight.’ ABBA is one of the most beloved bands for the queer community, and Dancing Queen remains one of the most ubiquitous gay anthems of our time. When ABBA returned with a new album, the band said, ‘It was the gay community who underpinned the comeback.’
