@ ur reply on the pride post: that's exactly what we mean, u get jokingly chastised. chastised, by common use, is something parents will do when the kid steals candy from the kitchen, it's Not physically attacking and chasing down, like what happened. U get called a straighty on the internet, we get attacked for existence irl. idk if this makes sense im tired oops
I hope you didn’t want this to stay private, because my thoughts on this cannot be contained @anoddlyoptimisticdevil and I hope you’ll read every inch of what I have to say, because It’s all important.
I’m sure it’s not ‘ThE mAjOrItY’, but no. There are LGBT ‘Allies’ who legitimately insult, put down, and degrade straight people for the EGREGIOUS sin of being straight.
Not to mention the marginalization of Bisexual people. ‘choose a side!’ and shit.
Nah.
You’re making sense, but you’re losing sight of the bigger picture. Plus, I mentioned in America. Granted, outside of the first world, homosexuals are treated TERRIBLY.I mean, in Islamic countries, they’re straight-up thrown off buildings, because that’s what GOD says to do to them.
But that’s no reason for Straight people not to be prideful of their sexuality. Because we’re being told, by ‘sOcIaL jUsTiCe’ that we’re not allowed to be proud. We have to be ASHAMED. Ashamed because other people do things that we didn’t do. Get fucked.Not you, but Social Justice. Social Justice can get fucked.
I mean, “How does it feel to be the same race/gender/sexuality as dOnAlD tRuMp!?” encapsulates the sheer stupidity of SocJus discourse. I DUNNO, I MEAN, LIKE. How does it feel being lumped in with Pedophile apologists, who argue there’s ‘nothing wrong’ with pedophiles because it’s just what they’re attracted to? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I DUNNO, MAN.
So, anyways. Anyone, and EVERYONE, should be able, and allowed, to be prideful in themselves. In their race, in their culture, in their sexuality, in their MERE EXISTENCE. Sorry, them’s the breaks. No double standards. It’s all or none. Would you prefer #NoPride?Only shame. EVeryone must be ashamed of everything.
And none of this is to say ‘gays don’t get attacked’ because I’m literally on your side here, no-one should be attacked for being what they are. But, what happens when we turn the tables? Are LGBT going to just treat straights kindly, like nothing ever happened? Or are they going to mistreat them the same way backwater third-world countries treat gays? Are the actions of mainstream islam in the middle east, really MY responsibility, as an atheist in America?
Or, even, religious fundamentalists here in America?
I don’t think they should be.I also don’t believe in special treatment for anyone.
If you have Black history month, you need White history month, too. A month dedicated to teaching, or celebrating things like... The Black Plague. Not only was it statistically improbable that we’d even survive that plague, it sparked the rush for enlightenment, and technology, that is the only reason europe became the hub of technological progress. Surviving that plague is the only reason we finally got to the point where we taught SAND how to THINK. (computers)
Let’s stop telling people they can’t be prideful of their sexuality, no matter who they are. Gay pride? Straight pride? fuck it, let’s just have pride. Sexuality Pride. Humans have been sexually repressed for centuries, by religious chastity. LET’S JUST CELEBRATE OUR SEXUAL AWAKENING! Wouldn’t that be fucking fantastic?
I dunno, man. Just seems like we could do better as a species.
