If the more queer people you have, the better things are, then theoretically, if we gathered enough queer people in one city we could recreate the City of Enoch and all get translated.

I am, once again asking you to consider the Gay Nauvoo Plan

[not-freyja]

Know your history:

Gay:

Used to mean carefree

Then sexually deviant

Then prostitute

Then slut

Then sodomite

And THEN as we know it today but only as a slur

Reclaimed in the seventies

LGBT:

Invented in the nineties

Has faced constant backlash (from both straight, queer, and LGBT folks from being not inclusive enough or too inclusive)

Every year there are pushes to change to acronym

LGBTQ

LGBTQ+

LGBTQ*

LGBTQIA

Mogai

Alphabet soup

Queer:

Used to mean “other”

Became a slang term for “not straight” in the 1400s

Became a slur in the early 1900s

Reclaimed in the 80s.

Sudden push back from within the queer community to have it seen only as a slur in the 2010s, a push that can be traced back to terf ideology.

Is the only term that includes all non cishet people

Homosexual

A medical diagnosis

Used for decades to make queerness into a mental illness

Used as a slur for the latter half of the 20th century

Rejected by the queer community as an acceptable term for a brief period of time in the early 2000s before coming back into fashion.

Only describes the experience of cis gay men and cis lesbians

Think what you want, believe what you will, but every word we have ever used to describe ourselves is coated in blood.

[sweetpeawriter]

Op ur so brave to assume people on this site can read well enough to get this

[nynaeve-almeara]

I actually talked to an older queer guy who said he was amazed to see how many young people call themselves gay. When he hears it, he just hears a slur…but he also said he was glad that people are able to reclaim it, and he’s happy to see a generation of lgbt+ people comfortable with it.

People on this site could learn from him

[jemariel]

“… every word we have ever used to describe ourselves is coated in blood.”

[templepriest-motherfucker]

Say it with me folks:

“Eat the rich” means 1%ers and billionaires

middle class is closer to poverty than being a multimillionaire

“The rich” does NOT include children of billionaires (come on we’re at least slightly better than the plagues of Egypt)

Upper middle class children SHOULD NOT feel guilt over having money

Being aware of privilege and using your privilege to help others IS NOT a guilt trip

Constantly feeling guilty helps no one

Billionaires, however, should feel guilty over hoarding wealth.

Upper middle class is NOT rich

Black Lives Matter

Trans rights are human rights

[kelila-rivka]

My uncle was one of the top surgeons in the country. He was upper middle class definitely. When he got cancer, his insurance didn’t cover all the treatments he would need and after 5 years he drained his savings on cancer treatments (while still working most of that time) and eventually died because he couldn’t afford the expensive treatments that might have saved him.

If you are upper middle class and you get sick, it will likely bankrupt your family. It’s fucked.

[olddukeofficial]

For all of the idiots in the notes ^

[dancinbutterfly]

Honest to god - even if you make 6 figures a year? you're closer to poverty than true wealth. Check your shit and remember who your real allies and enemies are guys.

[uvradical]

A 6 figure income is a lot right? That’s say: 223,000 dollars a year Which is 112 dollars an hour. Most people would consider that upper middle class. That’s enough money to have a nice house, go on fun vacations. That’s slight more than the average doctor makes.

223,000 dollars is what Jeff Bezo makes in a minute

the well-off and the rich are not the same. 

[simonalkenmayer]

There was a wonderful study done about 15 years ago I think, that shows that people cannot accurately identify their income bracket. Most people who own a home think they are upper middle class when in fact they are closer to the poverty line. Even people living well below poverty often identify as middle class. The wealth gap is even worse now. I wonder if anyone actually knows their financial standing.

[yeet--haw]

even millionaires aren't anywhere close to billionaires. privileged and annoying but not the true enemy.

[momspren]

People who auto block minors who aren't even following them are fascinating to me. Are you aware,, did you know,,, has it occurred to you that minors..... Age. Will eventually not be minors anymore. I mean you do you but if they weren't even following you and you block them,,, why did you do that

[arofluid]

*packs all my stuffed animals in my bag* i’m ready to go

[butchexboyfriend-deactivated202]

society when ppl realize gender fluidity isn't simply switching clothes

[fruitsilly]

bi-weekly? uhm yeah i'm bisexual every week lol

[latter-day-saint-nick]

Can't say I recognise myself or any other millenials I know in this description of a generation that's unwilling to experience even the slightest difficulty.

[demoisverysexy]

Yo send me asks abt mormonism if you want to btw, whether youre a member or not I wanna talk

[bimormondisaster]

Is he saying don't pray about stuff that "has already been revealed"?

[bimormondisaster]

Just glanced at the new fsy and it looks like it is more of a compass than a rule book. I'll look more into it later but I like that

[bimormondisaster]

Most of you know my feelings about the For the Strength of Youth so you know I'm already pulling that up.
