Mourndays: Queer Martyrs Directory

Hello pornies. I hope you are well. I've been sick AF these days, only a few of you know what happened to me, and I prefer to keep it like that, but I can tell you I'm feeling way much better now. And let's welcome spooky season! We all love Halloween, Samhain, horror movies, and a good scare (if you don't, um, whatever are you doing here? Nah, welcome, you basic). However, I want to share something different today, and it's the recent Queer Ancestors, and some not so recent ones.

When I started this blog, I wanted to share what being a bisexual witch means for me, have a place to express myself, and the more I wrote and read I discovered I wasn't the only trying to make a change. Some people were doing the same, or did consciously. Being someone who cares about his Blood Ancestors because I come from them, my Queer Ancestors are also important because they represent who I am today.

I've written about a few of them already, I remember their stories, I know what they mean to me, but I want to honor them more directly and consciously this month instead of just thinking about them. If you want to do so, I'm leaving a list of those who I want to include in my practice, those I've written about, expect for the first one, by Storm Faerywolf, who inspired me to start writing about these people.

Looking at them all together now, I obviously notice they are all men expect for the Bisexual Mother of Pride, and I want to change that. I gravitate more towards queer men because I am one, mainly gay men because I thought I was one when I started exploring my own sexuality, but I've learned and read about some incredible women as well, and I'm sure there are some people out of the binary structure of genre who have also made a difference.

• The Spiritual Legacy of Matthew Shepard (by Storm Faerywolf): Inspiring change and recognition
• Robert Warren “Bobby” Griffith: Acceptance, mental health, freedom, religious trauma, writing, dreams.
• Alireza Fazeli Monfared: Cleansing, healing, happiness.
• Lindolfo Kosmaski: Earth, activism, education, tolerance, strength.
• Riley Hadley: Hope, innocence, childhood, future.
• Samuel Luiz: Migration, healing, happiness, friendship.
• Brenda Howard and Stephen Donaldson: (Brenda) Acceptance, activism, energy, leadership, pride, initiative, (Stephen) rape, students, music, activism, writing, politics, strategy, (both) bisexuality, healing, protection, defense, pride, acceptance.

Feel free to add or take out any name you want. Our connection is our own, our practice is our own, and we don't need to honor someone we don't want to remember or we don't feel connected to. I'm doing the exception with Matthew Shepard for personal reasons, but feel free to do as you please. We can watch horror movies and dwell in a horror book later, but let's first give our Ancestors the importance they deserve. Their fight is far from over. Our fight is far from over.

Kinky regards, K!
