this is my alter ego

What this blog is: a safe space an attempt to educate others a means of raising awareness a place for bad jokes and puns hella rad What this blog is NOT: a place where harmful opinions can go unchallenged because "they're just opinions" a place where people speak over the experiences of others a place that tolerates bigotry of any kind All that said, I will screw up sometimes, don't hesitate to call me out. PLEASE read the extended about before asking general questions about me or the blog. I'm more active/reachable on weekdays cuz that's when I have wifi. If you want an ask answered privately, please let me know in your message, otherwise I answer all asks publicly!

A+ way to come out as bi: what's the difference between bisexuality and superman? I'm not superman

Nice try Superman. Everybody knows bi people aren’t real.

[shut-up-im-superman]

excuse me

[bi-puns]

A healthy intake of bitamins is definitely necessary in order to maintain a healthy sense of bi pride. Bitamin Bee-12? Yes, you must absolutely eat all twelve of those bees. How else will you maintain your vaguely humanoid form under your trench coat?

[jacryptid]

show ur spoopy pride ! (only did these ones bc theyre the ones i remember by heart but if u want me to do more flags send them to me and ill do those colors)

If it’s the same for one, it should be the same for all.

If you’re referring to bakeries being asked to make cakes for gay weddings, there is no parallel whatsoever with a kosher restaurant not serving ham and cheese. The combination of ham and cheese is inherently forbidden by Jewish law. The very act of making a ham and cheese sandwich is forbidden, as well as the fact that the presence of the ham in the deli would in short order render all the food there non-kosher, hence changing the fundamental nature of the business. However, at least the last I heard, the bible doesn’t actually forbid making a cake. Or even making a cake for a gay wedding. It only forbids the gay wedding itself. So it is not the same situation at all. But even if it WERE, you’d at least have to be consistent and refuse to serve anyone who has ever done anything the bible forbids (not just picking this one thing and ignoring all the rest), which is…oh wait. Everyone. Might as well close up shop.

And if you’re hinting at Kim Davis, well, she has every right to do exactly what every observant Jew does and not work a job that requires her to do something against her beliefs.

Leave us Jews out of this, thanks.

[challahchic]

Plus, actually. If an atheist bakery refused to make a religious cake that would, in fact, also be discrimination. US law forbids discriminating on the basis of race, gender, religion and sexual orientation. Refusing to make a cake because you disagree with their religious practices is also illegal, and probably would garner public outcry. This would cover a Muslim wedding, a Christian wedding, a Sikh wedding, a Bar Mitzvah, a Christmas cake, a cake for an Iftar meal, or, hell, if someone wanted a cake for Holi. (LOL I don’t think bakery cakes are common during Holi, but you know what I mean.)

And also, literally nowhere in the Bible does it forbid a gay marriage celebration. Some parts can be read as forbidding same-sex sexual relationships, but gay marriage is not mentioned ever.

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Moreover, the analogies for the Jewish and Muslim businesses are completely flawed and nonsensical. 

By definition, a kosher deli does not have bacon on the premises, and therefore, it cannot be provided in the first place. It’s not being withheld from specific people due to their lifestyle choices or beliefs. Ordering a side of bacon at a kosher deli is not an option for anybody. 

Likewise, a halal caterer who doesn’t provide liquor for events is not specifically excluding certain clients due to their religious beliefs. Given that they wouldn’t even have a liquor licence to begin with, there’s no way they could be accused of discriminating against specific individuals. Nobody gets a liquor package because, again, it’s not even an option. 

Requesting pork at a kosher or halal restaurant is like requesting a Samsung Note at the Apple Store: YOU WILL BE DENIED BECAUSE THEY DON’T SELL IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. You can’t get your tires rotated at the Post Office because IT’S NOT A SERVICE THEY OFFER. 

On the other hand, if you make your living selling wedding cakes, but refuse to provide one of those cakes to a potential customer because you don’t approve of their upcoming same-sex wedding, then that’s discrimination. 

Not offering a service or product to your entire customer base is not the same as denying certain people because of their sexuality/gender/race/religion/etc. 

Your analogy is bullshit, go home. 

[jewish-privilege]

There’s a difference between:

“We don’t serve pork here.”

And:

“We won’t serve you here.”

One is a statement of available services.

The other is a statement of discrimination. 

[bratprncemain]

Seriously, maybe these so-called Christians should like…I dunno keep their religion out of their business. When you run a business you’re going to come across people from all walks of life. The world doesn’t exist in this little bubble, you’re going to come across people different from you. Get over it.

Plot twist: You’re not being oppressed because you’re not allowed to discriminate, stop with the victim complex.

It's National Bisexual Awareness Week

Despite a growing acceptance of LGBT identities and the passage of same-sex marriage, bisexuality is still taboo. On Sept. 23, the 16th annual Celebrate Bisexuality Day, HuffPost Live discusses how this group can gain cultural acceptance.

On Celebrate Bisexuality Day, listen in to HuffPost Live for updates on what is going on for Bisexual Awareness Week as well as important issues our community is talking about.

PROTECT WOMEN

[nonbinary-support]

Hey do you know any webcomics I can read that involve trans/non-binary characters?

Yep! Questionable Content has a trans character. Khaos Komix has multiple trans characters and Shades of A by the same person has a non-binary character. There’s also Assigned Male!

Those are all the ones off the top of my head but I’m sure that there are more out there so check the replies and reblogs on this post.

–Ell

[shut-up-im-superman]

if no one else has mentioned it yet, RAIN (on deviantart) is a pretty nice one (main character is a binary trans girl, and there’s a bunch of other trans characters and at least one genderfluid one)

Buffy breast feeds Cody on Sesame Street (x)

[amaditalks]

This was 1976. Big Bird understood and was wholly accepting and empathetic toward Buffy breastfeeding in public, and Big Bird is meant to be the equivalent of a preschool aged child, but every single day on social media, adults exclaim disgust toward breastfeeding in public and misogyny at the parents who do so. People, you’re less evolved than Big Bird was 38 years ago. Grow the hell up.

[smallworldofbigal]

holy shit.  I had NO idea Sesame Street covered this topic.

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

And Buffy was Native American. And she breastfed. In front of muppets and children. No one died.

[thefemdomdiary]

Meanwhile Trump had a juvenile melt-down and screamed at a woman who needed to breast feed her baby, calling her “disgusting.”  

It’s depressing when a presidential candidate is less mature than Big Bird.
