Here at Autostraddle, planning content around Identity festival can be a bit of a conundrum. It’s frustrating to see mainstream outlets only elevate in-depth content about the LGBTQ+ group and only really work with a bunch of lgbtq+ and trans writers for one month out of the year, when we’re queer everywhere all the time. At the same period, Pride is immensely important to us here at Autostraddle and to a lot of our readers. It’s an ongoing part of LGBTQ+ history and resistance. It’s a complex month, which even the most well intentioned mainstream media Celebration packages don’t always capture. We’ve arrive up with a really rad theme for our Identity package this year that harnesses some of that complexity, and I can’t wait for it to be revealed to you.

But first, a little drama, a little tease. For the first time ever here at Autostraddle, we’re COUNTING DOWN to Pride! Because let’s be real, June may be Lgbtq+ fest month, but it’s not like we only exist as out, proud, boisterous gay people from June 1 to June 30! Movement events — petty and large — have been in the planning stages for a while now. Hell, I started planning Self-acceptance content back in early A

Pennsylvania high school boys wear flannel to celebrate "Anti-Gay Day"

In April, a band of Pennsylvania steep school boys wore matching flannel shirts and pasted hateful poster on homosexual students’ lockers. Some say they also drafted a "lynch list".

Intimidation of GSA students

As many as 100 students at Claysville’s McGuffey Lofty School took part in the "Anti-Gay Day" a daytime after the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance held its Day of Silence. "The Daytime of Silence was organized to outline attention to and condemn bulling against gay students. The homophobic students, mostly boys, wore flannel shirts and wrote "anti-gay" funeral crosses on the backs of their hands. The group stuck offensive posters on gay students’ lockers and intimidated Gay-Straight Alliance members and their supporters.
Other students said the group had a “lynch list”, although they did not say what exactly the list meant. McGuffey Superintendent Erica Kolat said officials have not seen the rumoured list, but that the school district was investigating the allegations.

Supportive action of educator and management

Teachers ran out of their classrooms and took the offensive posters down.

To Flannel or Not to Flannel?

I remember my first flannel. I stood in front of the dressing room mirror at Charlotte Russe, sizing up the pink and grey fabric swishing around my torso. This is it, I thought. Liberation. Pride. Acceptance. Finally, I could position my queerness on present for the world to see. This was the beginning of a unused era in which everyone could take one glance at me and grasp that I’m interested in girls. I could assemble other queer women and talk about queer things and shop at lgbtq+ places. Right?

Well no, not really. My life hasn’t changed drastically since that fateful day two years ago. I haven’t sever my hair short. There are no edgy piercings anywhere on my body, not even on my ears. My footwear of choice is flats, not black combat boots. I guess I’m not very good at being a lesbian. And therein lies the problem.

Even though I know it’s just a stereotype, I can’t shiver the association between wearing flannel and gayness. It’s definitely a social construct (there’s nothing inherently same-sex attracted about flannel), but I feel just a tad bit gayer in it. To me, wearing flannel is not just another article of clothing. It’s about breaking societal norms about sexuality and a
