I can't stand these pro-porn dumbasses who think feminists are scared of seeing boob pics when we are obviously talking about the horrible brutalization, dehumanization and torture of women that happens behind the scenes and directly in porn media. And that is of extremely easy access even for children
[ butchfemme carmilla ] “Let us look again for a moment; it is the last time, perhaps, I shall see the moonlight with you.”
The creator of the lesbian flag, Emily Gwen, is currently unhoused and struggling financially while suffering to chronic and mental illness.
I have already contributed to her Kofi, and now I ask you to help, especially if you have ever used the lesbian flag. Even if you can't donate, I urge you to share her Kofi around to reach more audiences
Lesbians support other lesbians 🧡🤍💗
Support Emily Gwen <3
🫶🏼
i can’t donate bc i’m still a minor but anyone with the means to should
anyway the eat bang kill tour is written by a woman who hates lesbians and has no understanding of harley and ivy’s characters lmao save your money and your time i heavily regret ever supporting her/this comic and i very much regret the fact i was looking forward to it!
the eat bang kill writer is lesbophobic??
@drayna: The writer of the comics is lesbophobic??? How does that even work with the whole point of these comics then lmao
@hello-gaynow: Oh no! What has she done thats lesbiphobic?
(I was gonna respond on that post itself but I figured I could just move it all over here since someone sent an ask <3)
so yeah, unfortunately 😬 it came out a few weeks ago after she confirmed that Ivy in this comic / in the show is bisexual and some people started giving her shit for it, which like don't do that, but her response to someone apologizing for the backlash was:
Comment: As a lesbian I wanna apologize for how half this community reacts to literally anything they're legitimately some of the most annoying fucking people on the planet
Tee Franklin: You don't have to apologize, these ignoramuses don't speak for all lesbians.
You good with me boo even tho I hate lesbians. 😩
And clearly that set off a wave of valid criticism and for some reason ig she can't figure out why people took issue with her just flat out saying she hates lesbians.
Like yeah, people were absolutely in the wrong for harassing her about writing her version of Ivy as bisexual, but I've seen a lot of people completely talking over the lesbian community in the DC fandom who've expressed being hurt over her comments and have brushed those criticisms aside because "oh, y'all are just mad she's not writing Ivy how y'all want."
Not to mention that I’ve seen a lot of lesbians say that it feels like she’s actively pushing the idea that if you’ve ever been in a relationship with a man, you cannot be a lesbian, and that that’s why Ivy’s bisexual! Obviously! She was with Kiteman! Which not only completely disregards the comphet vibes a lot of us got from Ivy in the show, but also just in general it invalidates lesbians who’ve been with men in the past.
and on September 1 she replied to a TikTok about it.
Their TikTok was just the above screenshot captioned with "not the writer of Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: The Eat Bang Kill Tour literally being homophobic towards lesbians 🙁”
And she responded in the replies with:
MizTee Franklin: How about you actually READ the entire thing instead of cherry picking what you want. People were claiming this is what I am so I “agreed” with em
MizTee Franklin: I wasn’t making a joke. I had hundreds of comments calling me a TERF & a lesbian hater & enby hater. I’m not arguing w/ppl about what I said.
MizTee Franklin: But you posted this to cause controversy I see you and the rest of y’all. Everyone who followed knows exactly what went down
But if this is the narrative you wanna spin have fun. I know what’s what and so does everyone else who follows me.
@ cowboyharley: yeah like i said i read all the tweets and you’re just unprofessional and refuse to acknowledge when people tell u something u said was harmful
MizTee Franklin: Good thing your opinion isn’t canon.
which is.... certainly a response... I guess.
Like genuinely, I think this would have ended quickly if she’d just, idk, apologized to the lesbians she hurt when she said she hates lesbians???? It’s not that hard to understand why that was a harmful statement that people took issue with, lady.
It wouldn’t have been that hard to fix this situation, at all. Literally she just needed to say “hey, I don’t hate lesbians, sorry!”, but no, she doubled down and has continued to just make it worse and then said she wasn’t joking.
Like I don’t understand how she can say she was “agreeing” with the hate comments in a sarcastic manner, and then turn around and immediately say in her next comment that she wasn’t joking.
Those are contradictory statements.
And I’ve seen some people trying to dismiss her comments because she’s queer and like y’all
That. Is. Not. An. Excuse.
You can be hateful towards and spread harmful statements about other members of the LGBT community even if you are part of it.
And I’m not going to stand by and pretend that what she said wasn’t harmful and didn’t hurt a lot of people because it did.

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

This blog is pro tits and anti Nazi
And everything that that means. I know we can never have children. That is a great sadness. But everything else: to love and to cherish and to have and to hold, according to God's holy ordinance. GENTLEMAN JACK — 1x05: Let's Have Another Look at Your Past Perfect

The Book of Names lists each person murdered at Auschwitz
#and you have to remember how many names are most likely missing#from rushed trains and burned lists#from rushed transports and people who died on the death marchs#what about the names from people who died after their liberation#and then…#this is only Auschwitz#this was the biggest camp yes#but just one of many#and then remember sobibor and belsec#and try not to feel sick
This is why we punch Nazis. This is why this vile ideology must be stamped out viciously every time it tries to come out of its hole.
Never. Again.
And each of these names was a person, with hopes, dreams, fears, challenges, goals, favorite books. Young children with special stuffed animals and foods they didn’t like, older children with classroom rivals and favorite subjects and siblings they fought with. Young teenagers with crushes and new dresses, older teenagers with career goals and lovers. Adults with bills to pay, with kids, with hobbies and work stresses. Elders with grandchildren who they both adored and shook their heads about.
Before the war, they went skating on the weekends. They played cards with their families. They read books under the covers at night. They missed assignments at school. They had new coats with shiny buttons. They went grocery shopping. They cooked dinner. They had inside jokes. They dipped their toes in the river in summer and took walks in the woods. They wondered about the mysteries of life, formed questions and answers, found people to brave those mysteries with.
They were people. Just like you and me.
dont cry ok? there is the sun and there isthe ocean and there are butch gay women
Happy Pride. Can we celebrate by, just for the month, having fandoms not be weird about lesbians/lesbian-coded characters.
Can we acknowledge that just because a woman character exists, and doesn't stare directly into the camera like an episode of the Office to say "I Do Not Like Men", that doesn't mean they aren't lesbian?
Can we please acknowledge how fandoms, especially cartoon spaces, are not normal about lesbians and lesbian coding. Can we acknowledge that lesbian is not a "dirty" or "taboo" word, and that it is okay to admit that a character is just a flat out lesbian.
Can we not try to maneuver our way around it by saying "well they could be bi/pan!", like so many people do with lesbian characters. For example:
-Amity from TOH, confirmed lesbian. People still argue that she's bisexual, because she drew herself with a fictional nonbinary character from a book once in the entire show.
-Velma from Scooby Doo, confirmed lesbian. When she got confirmed, people still argued she was bi because she dated men in past shows/specials - despite her being visibly uncomfortable in the relationships in question. Some even argued it was "bi-erasure" to make her a lesbian, which is insane to me.
-Amaya from The Dragon Prince, confirmed lesbian. Before she was confirmed, people said she was a "bicon" instead of lesbian, despite her showing no interest in men within the show. All she did was have a male interpreter (because shes DEAF and needs one), and people immediately paired them together.
-Ellie Williams from TLOU, confirmed lesbian. She shows no interest in men, states multiple times that men are "not her type", has only dated/had crushes on women within all games, the show, and even the comic, and yet people still claim she's bi.
-Robin Buckley from Stranger Things, confirmed lesbian. There's not much I can say here. She came out as a lesbian in the show, and people still call her bisexual. The jokes write themselves.
-Sammy from Camp Cretaceous/Chaos Theory, lesbian-coded. She's often headcanoned as anything but lesbian, often excused with "she never Outright said she's a lesbian like Yaz said she was bi", or that a few crew members said she was meant to be ambiguous. Yet I see nobody questioning why she specifically - the only other main female character, and who has never shown interest in men - is being kept that way.
-Vanessa from The Hollow, lesbian-coded. Developed a friendship with a male character, but has never expressed romantic interest in men. Laughing at a joke made by the opposite gender, and wanting to impress a male character because of a need for validation are not signs of romantic interest, by the way.
I am not saying you can't headcanon characters as bi, or that bi people are "evil", or trying to ""police"" who you ship together or whatever else excuse people use to derail conversations about this. There is a frequent pattern within fandoms where a lesbian (coded) character exists + has any relationship with a man ever + doesn't explicitly state they don't like men = not a lesbian. And fuck, even when they DO say they don't like men, they are still seen as bi.
Queer-coding is just as eminent as having a character be confirmed as queer. And, surprisingly (sarcasm) that also applies to lesbian coded characters. Lesbian characters do not need to "prove" their lesbianism to the viewers by hating/isolating themselves from men to be lesbians. They do not need to say outright that they don't like men in order to be lesbian coded. They can have relationships with men without being romantically interested in them. Lesbians have been fighting for so long to not be seen as "needing" to be with men in order to just. exist.
And believe me I could go on a whole rant about how this entire issue has roots in misogyny within the community, or how some people still haven't unlearned the idea of how a man and woman can have an 100% platonic relationship, or how people treat calling a character lesbian as a "last resort", but this post is already a wall of text as it is.
Please just be normal about lesbians in media.
