this (and every) Pride Month, I need way more people to start accepting (and supporting!) "contradictory" labels, neopronouns, the aromantic and asexual spectrum, polyromanticism and polysexuality, bisexuality, unlabeled and questioning people, transgender people, intersex people, nonbinary people, uplifting queer people of colour, not playing oppression olympics, standing up for each other, etc.
stop with the "no straights allowed, only gay people this pride month". straight trans people, straight intersex people, straight aromantic and/or asexual people, and more, exist and aren't any less part of the LGBTQIA+ community. and, obviously, pride month is about so much more than sexuality.
stop demonising masculinity and trying to bully masculine people out of pride events and the community as a whole. especially the straight people from above who are men. or the trans people, who are "too masculine" for your personal taste, or the cis-perisex gay men, who aren't "feminine" or "flamboyant" enough for you, or the masc lesbian, who's on T and uses pronouns other than she/they. all of this goes doubly for people of colour; especially black people (their masculinity isn't a danger to you). the list goes on.
and, of course, as always: kink belongs at pride. the kink and queer community are heavily intertwined. stop being puritans about it.
being queer doesn't suddenly make you a better person, considering how you're so determined to put down other queer people for being "too much" or "damaging the movement" or whatever. start unlearning all that internalised queerphobia and be better. we have to stand together and be strong.
*general "you", not talking to/about anyone in particular!
that being said: Happy Pride Month!
