in theory its super bad when straight dudes go “hey ur a lesbian? we both like girls we’re the same!” but in reality this has happened twice and most recently was today when a guy i was training in the frame shop went “oh you’re gay?” “yea” “that’s cool. it’s cool that you told me. we both like girls and star wars so it’s nice that we have a shift together :)” like god damn it brett you’re so respectful and thoughtful with your goddamned words

[lesbianshepard]

the posts that are like “straight men can never love a woman like a lesbian” are cool jokes and stuff but u gotta really appreciate dudes who have no idea what its like to be gay but try their best to try and relate. “we both like hot ladies” you know what, ryan? that’s close enough. i appreciate that.

trans people shouldn’t have to look cis to be respected

[americanfootball1999-deactivate]

the comments on this are gross y’all clearly dont understand how this works. transitioning is not that easy nor is it affordable. and it is a transition aka it’s not instantaneous aka it takes time. years and years, in fact, to get to the point where you could pass for cis and even then some people may never fully pass. surgery is expensive and getting medical treatment is a nightmare in and of itself. some people can’t fully transition or pass for various reason such as age, health, money, location, family, not being completely out, body type, etc. and they are still worthy of respect and dignity. so yeah, passing may be “the goal” but if you only respect trans people when they pass, news flash: you’re trash. 

trans people shouldn’t have to look cis to be respected.

Brief reading list on Coachella

Since y’all are incapable of google searches and caught a case of blindness in regard to racism, here’s you’re “Coachella is and always has been racist (among other things)” reading list.

April 17, 2012 Fashionista’s “ Step Away From the Feathers: 10 Coachella Trends That Need To Die” Main focus: Racism, Cultural appropriation. Article here.

Aprill 22, 2013 Miami’s New Ties’ “ Coachella 2013: The 10 Worst Moments of Weekend Two” Main Focus: Racism, cultural appropriation. Article here.

April 14, 2014 Vice/Noisey’s “The Bros of Coachella” Main focus: Racism, toxic masculinity, sexism. Article here.

April 14, 2014 Daily Sass’ “ Coachella Fashion: the good, the bad and the mostly racist” Main focus: Cultural appropriation, racism, fashion alternative to be racist. Article here.

April 15, 2014 Mic’s “Why so many American Indians have an issue with Coachella” Main focus: Racism and cultural appropriation. Article here.

April 13, 2015 The Atlantic’s “ Madonna’s Kamikaze Kiss” Main focus: Racism, Sexual assault. Article here.

April 19, 2016 Desert Sun’s “Group at Coachella yells ‘No Español!’ to people singing in Spanish” Main focus: Xenophobic and Racist incident. Article here.

April 11, 2017 Refinery29′s “I probably would have hated Coachella, anyway” Main focus: Racism, anti-lgbt, body-shaming. Article here.

April 17, 2017 Daily Beast’s “Coachella Is Trash: A Drake-Dissing, Culture-Appropriating, Anti-Gay Owner-Having Nightmare” Main focus: Racism black preformer’s experienced, racism, anti-lgbt. Article here.

July 4, 2017 The Gaurdian’s “The kids are all white: can US festivals live up to their 'post-racial’ promise?” Main focus: Racism. Also touches on Afropunk, which is the much better option if you wanna go to a big music festival. Article here.

April 13, 2018 Teen Vogue’s “Dear White women, we need to talk about Coachella”. Main focus: Cultural appropriation. Article here.

April 18, 2018 LATime’s “Coachella makes millions, but the festival’s impoverished Mexican neighbors see very little of it” Main focus: Racism, classism. Article here.

This is a small sample of the amount of articles and conversations on this issue there is. This isn’t even including the environmental racism and racism this festival has caused the Black community of Coachella Valley.

Honestly, if you have NEVER heard of criticism of Coachella before- it’s because you are not invested in Black or Indigenous lives and the racism we face.  You are literally not listening, you are just hearing to respond “Oh, but….”.

Don’t forget this gem, which was HIGHLY popular on tumblr back in 2014s when discussing cultural appropriation and racism:
