hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!
hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.
If you reblogged the first post from me please reblog this amendment so the Jewish peeps can access this resource too!
Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!
Muslim LGBTQ kids, you can go to iamnotharaam! It’s run by a mod squad of different genders and orientations, and they take submissions from everybody!

MAY ANYONE WHO REBLOGS THIS BE ELEVATED TO THE EQUIVALENT OF SAINTHOOD IN THEIR RELIGION BLESS ALL OF YOU OH MY GOD.
REBLOGGING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT’S SO FREAKING IMPORTANT TO ME AND ALL MY FOLLOWERS TO READ THAT DEAL WITH GRIEF AND GUILT WHILE BEING LGBTQ AND RELIGIOUS
I’ve put this in a new post partly not to derail the old one, but mostly bc Tumblr Mobile doesn’t do reblogs properly on my iPad.
I put trousers on for ths post, Tumblr. Don’t say I never gave you anything.
I have two banjoleles:
There’s an open-backed banjolele of dubious manufacture (probs US) from the 60s, and one with a resonator from (iirc) the 30s, that I bought in the UK.
Here’s the open-backed uke. FYI, I’m out of practice and haven’t been playing & singing with my uke since my voice dropped.
(If I had a real mic and wasn’t recording this on an iPad, you’d get better sound quality. Soz.)
Apparently there’s a one-video-per-post rule, so I’ll reblog this with the second video in a moment.
Oh. Nope. Genuinely not allowed to add another video. Okay. I’ll post the second half in ANOTHER POST, then. Jesus, what even is this site.
Oh, how lovely! It’s very plinky, what a great sound. (And thank you for answering my questions about how it’s tuned and such on the other post.) I quite like your singing too!
I’ve seen banjoleles around occasionally but never paid much attention because the ones I’ve seen have always been expensive and I wasn’t sure what the deal was. I’ll have to keep a closer eye out in future, maybe pick one up.
