Coolest stamps ever!

[doggo]

I read about this a while ago, but today stumbled upon an article written about the subject in English, so I figured I'd share it here in case someone might be interested.

The post of Finland releases world's first openly homoerotic stamps

I am SO happy about this, and for the first time in a really long time, feeling a bit patriotic.

Edited because was confusing.

I... would be so much better about writing 'thank you' cards and such if I got to use stamps like that. xD

Yeah, those are truly great. It's so cool to see little steps like these taken towards normalization and equality.

With people in China currently getting arrested for writing slash fiction, it's comforting to know that there's progress in the world too.

These are coming out next autumn, and I should find out if I can pre-order them because apparently I'm not the only one who thinks they're just too cool. Damn, I wish I wouldn't need to use any other stamps.

I'd seen the blurb about it but not actually read the article til now. The history of LGBT stamps is actually really interesting!

And well done Finland! It's good to see something positive when so many other countries seem to be doubling down on LGBT issues right now.

SEND ME ALL THE LETTERS! XD I need to receive mail with bum stamps!
