hey what did you mean in that post about raven's home getting the 'bombshell of the century' from an interview last year? i've been trying to find it but i can't :/

It wasn’t specifically about Raven’s Home but more about the That’s So Raven cast reunion on The View last year. It wasn’t explicitly said buuuuut when asked who dated the most on set, everyone pretty much pointed to Anneliese but then Raven said they actually had “a really nice” relationship with each other and Annelise did this face that told all. 

So if you take the knowledge of Raven being gay + saying they all pretty much dated each other + Annelise’s face =

Raven and Annelise totally hooked up when they were younger during the show and everything we’ve ever know has been lie when we saw them as best friend goals as children lmao. So now watching Raven’s Home like 10+ years later, that’s all I think about

I have this theory that if they had given the emoji guy like the simple dot emoji eyes then he wouldn’t be as inherently hateable what do you guys think

You are LGBT if..

You are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. That’s it. Aces aren’t LGBT.

[feminismandmedia]

I mean for one your forgetting a bit of that. Like the Q+.

The full acronym is LGBT.

[smallhorizons]

I love me some ahistorical bullshit

The “full” acronym at one point was “GL”, after lesbians fought against male homosexuality being the “face” of the movement (i.e., the Alliance for Gay Artists (AGA), founded in 1982, was renamed the Alliance for Gay and Lesbian Artists shortly thereafter; and the Gay Activists Alliance never included “Lesbian” in their title).

The “full” acronym at another point was “LGB”, only after bisexual activists campaigned fiercely to be included, and is often still not even included in acronyms

The “full” acronym at yet another point was “LGBT”, only after trans activists campaigned fiercely to be included

Queer was added to the acronym after it was reclaimed and re-politicized by ACT UP off-shoot Queer Nation in the early 1990s. LGBTQ has been a thing since the 90s.

ONE Archives, which is the largest repository of LGBTQIA+ materials in the world and was founded by some of the principle members of the early (1950s-60s) homophile movement, which led to the gay rights movement post-Stonewall, uses the full acronym LGBTQ on their website and also freely uses the word “Queer” interchangeably.

As of 2014, NOW (National Organization for Women) agreed to switch to use of the full LGBTQIA acronym, and it likely isn’t the only large social rights organization to have done so

Many LGBTQ+ magazines use LGBTQ, including One (which has existed in some form since the 1950s) and The Advocate, use LGBTQ or LGBTQIA as the full acronym and regularly use “queer” as a phrase (and, in fact, some articles have welcomed asexual people and their narratives as part of the queer experience).

The acronym is constantly evolving. It’s not static. To claim otherwise is blatant ignorance. The modern-day LGBTQ+ community is a result of decades of political activism, social inclusion, and community outreach. It’s not a rigid structure that operates by a strict set of rules about who can and cannot join.

[star-wars-discousre]

The full acronym is LGBT. Cishets don’t belong in the community. Aces aren’t inherently lgbt. We don’t want our oppressors in our community.

[smallhorizons]

“we don’t want our oppressors in our community” 

as if trans people don’t already have to deal with their oppressors (cis people) being in their community

as if LGBTQIA+ people of color don’t have to deal with LGBTQIA+ white people in the community

as if LBTQIA+ women don’t have to deal with GBTQIA+ men in the community

as if disabled LGBTQIA+ people don’t have to deal with able-bodied LGBTQIA+ people in the community

the LGBTQIA+ community is huge and consists of people with multiply-overlapping identities and privileges. we all (unless you’re a cis, able-bodied, wealthy, white gay man) have to deal with a member of our oppressing class in the LGBTQIA+ community

ETA: “Straightness” is a position of power. Ace people, even if they are in heterosexual relationships, do not necessarily perform “straightness” in ways that are acceptable to the Straight class.

Reblogging because osirisjones is completely hitting the nail on the head.

[lesbianpeachs]

Look though, this is what discourse is: having decades of community history literally laid out and them COMPLETELY IGNORING IT to repeat the same brainwashed, faulty drivel over and over

[ayalaatreides]

LOL damn, that person laid out a thorough yet succinctly worded and easy to understand explanation of the acronym’s history, and this fool just outright replied with “No u r wrong I am right >:C”
