Mi Amor…

And they don’t even swallow 🙄

For many gay men, love begins with unlearning. Years spent pretending to be someone else, hiding feelings, and fitting into expectations can make vulnerability feel terrifying. But that is what makes finding the right person so extraordinary. The moment someone loves you not for who you pretended to be, but for who you truly are, all those years of hiding begin to lose their weight. True love becomes more than romance,it becomes freedom, acceptance, and the joy of finally being seen. After years of keeping parts of yourself locked away, sometimes you end up unleashing the beast. 😏❤️‍🔥

Remembering the brilliant David Hockney through his intimate illustrations of C.P. Cavafy’s poetry. 🖤 Like so many of us, Hockney found a companion in Cavafy. Enchanted by the Alexandrian poet’s tender accounts of love between men, in 1966, he transformed fourteen poems into a series of drawings that remain among the most beautiful visual tributes to queer longing ever made.
