do people really think there’s this sudden influx of gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans* people because it’s “hip” and “cool” now or some shit you realize that there are just as many gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans* people as there were in any point in history it’s just throughout most of history you didn’t hear about any of them because it was REALLY FUCKING UNSAFE TO BE ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

Marriage is on the ballot in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington this year. Learn how to vote to support equality.
Can we talk about how sad the phrase “marriage is on the ballot” is?
If a person is bisexual and they date someone of another gender, they are not ‘now a heterosexual.’ They are still bisexual.
If a person is bisexual and they date someone of the same gender, they are not ‘now a homosexual.’ They are still bisexual.
If a person is bisexual and in a committed relationship, they do not stop being attracted to other genders than that of the person they are with. They may choose not to act on it, if they have decided to be monogamous, but their brain doesn’t turn that part off.
If a person tells you they are bisexual and you decide that you know the definition better than they do, you should probably rethink your approach.
“You can oppose same-sex marriage and not be anti-gay.”
Hahaha
Ha
No, actually, you can’t.
Things you can do without being anti-gay:
- Not get married
- Make a pie!
- Have sex
- Not have sex
- Get married
- Rent a movie
- with popcorn!
- The hokey pokey
- Skydive
- Skip
Things that are anti-gay no matter how much you wish you could have your way and still be a decent human being:
- Vote against marriage equality
And can somebody please tell me how the term “bisexual” somehow reinforces the binary, yet “gay” and “lesbian” supposedly do not?
Most self-identified lesbians use that term to signify that they partner with women, but not men. Most gay men use the term “gay” to signify that they partner with men, but not women. So why are gays and lesbians not accused of “reinforcing the notion that there are only two genders”? Oh, that’s right, because their identities are accepted and seen as legitimate, while bisexual identities are not.

Educate yourself, and then educate the world!
I’m confident of who and what I am, but the next steps aren’t clear-cut. I think that it’s no sin to love and be loved by someone, but I can only speak to my own situation and am limited by my own comprehension. I can do my level best to interpret scripture, but there is no guarantee that my conclusions or the conclusions of others are correct.

an old euphemism for queer female relationships was
female adventurer
I’m pretty okay with this.

some friendly reminders for national coming out day:
- it’s never okay to out someone without their consent
- seriously cut that shit out
- neither is it okay to force someone to come out
- not everyone can afford to be out whether it be safety concerns or whatever reason
- it’s not your place to decide when and how someone comes out
- or if someone’s reason(s) for not coming out are “valid” or not

Women’s Rights are not something drudged up by deluded feminazis. They are Human Rights.
Rights for Non-Caucasian people around the world are not some weirdo concept. They are Human Rights.
LGBTQ Rights are not part of some weird imagined homosexual agenda. They are Human Rights.
So I went to Church today, and I found this pamphlet, thinking it would be anti gay or something
But then I opened it and
Religion, you’re doing it right
