Your yearly reminder that polyamorous people are queer in every sense that matters.

Unsupported by government, unable to marry the people we love. Risking consequences if we come out within our family, if we come out at our work, in custody arguments against a non-polyamorous person because we are considered a danger or bad influence on children. A challenge to heteronormative conceptions of what love and relationships are meant to be.

Most polyamorous people are queer to start with, because once you start questioning heteronormativity, you start asking other questions about what a sexual or romantic or committed relationship should be. But that doesn't mean that polyamory isn't inherently queer in and of itself.

Please don't forget us in your queer positivity posts. Please don't forget us when you think about what queerness encompasses.

I've seen countless people, many who are fellow queers, talk shit about poly relationships because "they never last", as if most relationships last? As if most people don't have several exes? Meanwhile I'm sitting here in my stable triad polycule that.... in a couple years I will have been in this polycule for as long as I was outside of it (you know, when I was a child). It's an open polycule too, we've all had relationships outside of the triad and we're all still good and happy with each other. My triad has outlasted my heterosexual parents' marriage by many many years.

Stop being weird about poly people. We're exactly as queer as the rest of queer people, and we need you to recognize that.

I have a couple of queer coworkers and a very queer-friendly workplace, for where we live.

The most our partner, who means the world to me and is just as much part of this relationship as my wife, has been mentioned as is "my friend".

I hate it. Jack is just as much my spouse as my wife is. But even in queer-friendly spaces it's not SAFE to say that. And that sucks fucking ass.

piss cold take. you are not oppressed in the same way & the normalization of the word “queer” as an umbrella term for the lgbt community is already uncomfortable for most people within it, and wanting to reclaim it as a straight cis person (i bet you’re white too) is tone deaf to all hell. aside from the sheer strangeness of pretending your struggles are anywhere near that of gay/ trans individuals (which is an identity and NOT a lifestyle choice), using a slur to feel “included” is so incredibly off-base and weirdly entitled. go forge your own community like the asexuals did

[taibhsearachd]

I’m an intersex nonbinary lesbian you absolute loser.

Asexuals are queer also.

[nirvaria]

okay? point still stands that being poly =/= lgbt. and this is probably news to you, but neither is asexuality. straight cis people aren’t lgbt, that’s kinda the point of the community! that’s why you make other communities! being “queer” (a term i hesitate to use because of its lack of definition and history as a slur, but to use your own words) isn’t just “outlier of society” bruh, nothing more anti-lgbt than this entitlement shit

[ruffboi-mags]

honestly we don't want assholes like you in the lgbtqia+ community anyway. OR the queer community. So be off with your damn self and make your own post about your own community rather than hijacking this post that is clearly NOT ABOUT A COMMUNITY YOU ARE A PART OF, buh-bye.

i think that men approach women with an act. literally all the time. and i think it’s not until they’ve either gotten what they wanted from you or a fair amount of time passes before that act starts to dissolve and you get to see what type of man you’re really talking to. which is why i don’t even consider trusting a man until i see what he’s like when he stops telling me what it is he thinks i’d like to hear. not even a little bit.

he might be nice to you, sure. maybe he compliments you a lot. gives you a lot of attention. that’s all fine and good, but what is he like when he’s angry about something? when the two of you disagree? when you aren’t available for him whenever he’d like you to be? when you deny him of something he asks of you? what then? for me that’s what i always pay the most attention to. there’s no shortage of men who would find me beautiful and say so. there are countless men who would be willing to give me the kind of romantic attention that i may be interested in. i need to know what’s beyond all of that. how does he handle his anger? does he know how to communicate effectively? does he make you feel as though you owe him something in exchange for his attention? i know so many girls who talk to men, think theyre nice or whatever, and then however many days or weeks later he flips like a switch and he’s awful. that’s not the fault of women, but it’s a big part of the reason why i never approach relationships with men recklessly. because once they stop telling you what they think you wanna hear or doing things they think will impress you, their true colors really start to show. and no offense? not to be rude? they’re usually not worth it sticking around to see it. that’s just how i approach it 🤷🏻‍♀️

“The worst thing about being a quiet borderline is that you have all the urges and desires to go out and partake in all kinds of risky behaviors. You want to have tons of unsafe sex, you want to throw tantrums, you want chain smoke for hours, you want throw things at people, you want to scream, you want to fight, you want to get lost in night clubs, you want to drink until you vomit and pass out, you want to get high as fuck, you want to seduce people, you want to steal things, be deep as fuck, run away, crash your car, run in front of a train, you want to starve yourself and strip yourself down to nothing for someone else’s pleasure. You want all of it but the fear holds you back, the fear of hurting others, causing drama, causing pain and the regret that comes afterwards. You fear all that so instead you shut down, you disassociate, you hold it all in until you finally blow up at the people you adore the most.”

Billionaires have enough money to completely end hunger, homelessness, and medical debt, and still be wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. They literally have the power to choose who lives and who dies. And we’re supposed to consider them “charitable” whenever they let one person live.

[lilxanniee-deactivated20230222]

It’s their money they can do what they want with it. They might want to give it to their kids so shut the fuck up and think for one second before you talk from your ass

[ewfadsasddsdasd-deactivated2018]

is your little fucking worm brain like physically incapable of processing how much a BILLION is? you could not spend a billion let alone billions of dollars in a single human lifetime. you could buy everything in your wildest dreams and still be set for life. it is literally unethical that anyone is allowed to have that much wealth when there are so many people suffering and dying every single day because of poverty so maybe take your own advice, my good bitch
