The Image That We Started With Isnt Relevant Anymore Because Everyone Wears Wigs, Makeup, And Crazy Clothes

“The image that we started with isn’t relevant anymore because everyone wears wigs, makeup, and crazy clothes now. Now art pop is dead, so how do I reinvent? What can I do that no-one else will do? So I thought, ‘Well, I'm going to be an older, sexualised gay man.’ You don’t see that.” Casey Spooner, talking to Dazed. Pics: Yuki James

being gay and alive is a radical offensive act of protest that none of us signed up for and sometimes it can genuinely feel too hard to bear but please, please keep going. there’s no better weapon against the people who want us dead than to live, and keep trying, and keep doing things that make you happy and loving eachother and thriving in whatever way you can in a world that doesn’t want you. they can’t get rid of us that fucking easily 

Looking back and hoping to revisit soon .. a photo promoting @islandhousekw with my newly made friend at the time now friends @jonofarabia ( in the background naked in the pool ) We had a Fuckin’ blast! Clothing optional! John made me get nude I’ll never forget that day. (at Island House Key West Gay Hotel & Resort)

“When you're younger, you think you're in competition with everyone. You think everyone's success is a threat to you, and this is a thing you grow out of. You get older and you suddenly realise the only person you're in competition with is yourself.” Boy George photographed for Gay Times (2018)
