I’m finally watching X Factor because I’ve been avoiding it(TM) for Reasons that are REASONS, JANET. Meaning that I’ve been broken over this incredibly stupid show entirely too many times and I CANNOT DO IT AGAIN; I REFUSE. I am still firm on having given up boy bands for good. Boy bands are DUMB and will ONLY BREAK YOUR HEART.

That said, every time they play that “hopeful act they want the audience to like is walking onstage” theme, I just think of discovering George Shelley and what a great fucking fandom ride that was and how much fun it can be, and how much I love @spibsy.

i can’t believe @spibsy and i knew after he’d only been on tv for 47 seconds that george shelley was going to grow up to be a GAY ICON i’m so proud of him i could pee

Due to the abuse allegations against Union J’s JJ Hamblett, I am in process of deleting all content of him (that is not the full band) from my blog.

Just so it doesn’t come across that I am unaware of it or just ignoring it because I really loved Union J. It’s going to take a while to get the posts down, but I am in process.

remember when you invented george shelley? that was great.

George Shelley was my greatest invention, for a time. He served me well, and now he has spread his wings to flyyyyyy (and he don’t let nobody bring him doooooooown…)

this Union J/Stereo Kicks shenanigan is so messy and bitter and immature; i am so glad i swore off boy bands in favor of girl groups after SK broke me for a final time. boy bands are just messy painful boys, people. they might be deliciously color-coordinated, outfit-wise, and have cute hips, but they are still boys.

Boy drama is SO MUCH stupider and more annoying than any drama girls will do in full public. srsly.

Dear Certain Big Larrie Blogs(tm):

If you are trying to co-opt George’s reality and personhood and bravery to fit your agenda of advancing fuckin SHIPPING, that is harmful to George and to queer fans. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY QUEER MEMBERS OF UJ THERE ARE IF YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT 1D AND VICE-VERSA. George, AND Jaymi, have nothing to goddamn do with anyone’s relationships except their respective own. Stop it. Shut up.

If your response is, like Wootten’s, “lol everyone already knew,” then you are harming George and queer fans. “Lol everyone already knew,” when a queer celeb comes out -- whether it’s George now or when it was Ellen Page or whoever -- reinforces the need to self-police to not “seem gay” and asserts a standard of “straight” behavior that’s somehow inherently different. Stop it. Shut up.

If you are trying to use the incredibly brave and open example of George to coerce or force or suggest or hint or demand that some other person come out, that’s fucking bullshit and you need to fucking eat some wool socks. Stop it. Shut up. George came out because he was ready. That is the only reason that anyone should ever publicly come out. Stop it. Shut up.

If you are also queer, and your response to a queer person coming out in a hugely public way, is to claim that your doing ANY of the shit above is somehow less harmful or less problematic or less shitty just because you are also queer: no. A Big Larrie on Twitter today tried to argue that it’s fine for them to pervert George’s reality and truth into an argument Against the Antis and that they can’t, and don’t need to be, an ally to him because they are also queer, but honestly:

Fuck that shit.

If queer celebs can’t count on queer audiences to be their strongest allies, then what the fuck hope is there for straights? I am queer. I am allied with George in celebrating his coming out his way -- without labeling him with an orientation -- and by making sure that his act of bravery and truth is about HIM. Not about anyone else. Not about Jaymi. Not about Josh. Not about JJ. Not about Dan Whiplash. Not about Harry. Not about Louis. Not about anyone except George. I am on George’s side. That is what being an ally means. I am on his side, and I will fight for him and with him and whatever else he needs to keep feeling so secure in being himself, like he said.

If you’re running a goddamn blog about celebrating open queerness, and you aren’t on the side of actual queer people besides yourself and the queer folks who adhere to your personal wishes and standards, then what are you actually doing?
