y’all: *slams people for using microlabels*

also y’all: no you cant just say youre “queer” when we ask your gender/orientation, thats a slur not an identity.

what y’all really mean: if youre not lesbian, gay, bi, or trans, or do not identify solely as such, we dont want you in this community.

“Queer”, before being reclaimed by the LGBT community, was indeed as slur. Typically, queer means abnormal or strange, which was exactly why it was used to describe LGBT people; it was used to other us and label us as abnormal. It doesn’t seem very unreasonable that many people, myself included, don’t want to be referred to as queer/have it used as an umbrella term for the community when it carries those connotations.

The idea that our rejection of microlabels is comparable to our aversion of being called a slur and your exaggeration of LGBT people as reactionary and exclusive is, quite frankly, blatantly homophobic and transphobic. It’s disgusting that people like you who say this about the LGBT community at large would want to be a part of it.

Please, log off this website, learn some LGBT history and think before you speak.

It’s that time of year to say no to the Salvation Army.

Never forget they let a Trans woman die instead of helping her.

Never forget they have tossed entire families on the street for having an LGBT child.

Never forget they tell non Christian families that unless they convert they will not help them.

Never forget that the Salvation Army is bigoted and hateful, many of the bell ringers routinely heckle and harass LGBT couples.

Annual reblog.

idk if some of you mlem are ready for this hot take

we always talk abt how yaoi culture hurts us but why dont we take a moment and think abt the fact its very predatory to young girls as well. like we make fun of memes where its like “im 13 and i read & write yaoi fanfiction!!” but whether theyre fucking straight or cis or whatever when young girls are getting exposed to any kind of sexual content that is very fucking alarming. yes the content itself harms us gay men but these are children who are most likely around some very fucking shady people.

to every “openminded” christian who thinks youre not homophobic because you “love everyone regardless of sin”… please know you still make all the lgbt people around you want to die and if given the opportunity to cut ties with you they will … if that sounds mean to you then maybe work on not seeing your “loved ones” as sinners for just being who they are and start lovingly embracing their differences instead of barely, bitterly tolerating them

p.s. it’s a widely known “secret” that people who “love everyone regardless of sin” try to “discourage” that “sin” by being passive aggressively abusive and voting for homophobic politicians and policies which make life physically and psychologically dangerous for lgbt people

the idea that anyone who approaches sex in an unconventional way (asexuals, kinky people) is LGBT is a direct product of the perception of gay sex as deviant and strange

… so you’re saying asexuality is deviant and strange,, im seeing aphobia here, in 2018,

whats it like to not know how to read

what’s it like to defend someone who’s saying asexuality is only considered valid because of homophobia

it literally. doesnt say that. it says people consider asexuality or kink to be part of the lgbt community because people have come to think of being gay as a subversion of the sexual norm, basing the entirety of their perception of lgbt people on sex, when thats not entirely what the lgbt community is about. no one is saying asexuality isnt valid because its not alone a part of the lgbt community. you dumb fuck. learn to read you complete dipshit

It’s fucking. aphobic. to group together asexuality with people who have sexual fetishes. do you not fucking understand that. no asexuals are not part of “lgbt” but they ARE apart of “lqbtq+” when people with fetishes are NOT. So, to say asexuality is in the same fucking category as people with kinks fucking invalidates asexuality. Dumb bitch. Op also doesn’t think pansexuality is different from bisexuality which is fucking wrong. So please fucking hitch your horse to their wagon, I’d love to argue ignorant bitch!

theyre saying that they are both groups that people consider lgbt for similar reasons. they did not say that asexuals and kink ppl are in the same category. they just said that theyre both wrongly considered lgbt. i also hate kink freaks and dont think they belong anywhere near the ace or lgbt community. you really didnt understand the intention of original post at all and just knee jerk reacted to the mention of asexuality

i just realized im arguing on the internet and i have a bank account and friends so i have to go be an adult . goodnight folks

PSA

I learned something idk if you saw the reblog

so we know the upside down pink triangle was used as the marker for gays during the holocaust.

but actually, it wasn’t just gays. homosexuality was considered a sex offence, so pedophiles and rapists were also marked with the pink triangle. this is probably where the gays are pedos thing came from.

it’s literally a Nazi borne symbol, it’s also intimately aligned with actual sex offenders.

the symbols were not meant to be subtle. they were a branding. big and obvious. it looks somewhat fake because of it. this is a black and white photo, with the triangles colorized

you can very clearly see the German spelling of homosexual above the pink triangles. I don’t read German so unfortunately I can’t tell you the rest

it’s fine to reclaim the symbol. but you need to understand the abhorrent and disgusting history.

So Mom and I have been watching some Jackie Chan movies, since she likes him and his action scenes are pretty awesome. But now his lesbian daughter claims he’s homophobic…welp.
