me in 2014: I think there's nothing wrong with gay ppl as long as they don't shove it into everyone's face

me now: cisheteronormativity is shoved into everyone's face all the time, and not only is it allowed, it is encouraged too. furthermore, it is harming each and every person, not only queer ppl, by restricting gender expression, condemning certain behaviors or traits, and ignoring statistics. living life however they want (without hurting others) is the right of every single person, anything less is oppression.

me in 2016: I agree with you, phobic "friend", I think those freaks should not attend Pride, there's very few of them and they don't represent our community, but of course the media focuses on them to demonize us

me now: Pride is not a family friendly event. it's started with a fkin riot in the 70s. kink and kinksters have just as much of a place there as anyone else, since we're all deviants to the status quo. the media is a vampire whose focus on queer folk and its efforts to paint them in a bad lighting are a diversion tactic from much more pressing societal and economic problems. Pride should be a non-issue to anyone.

me in 2017: everything that is wrong in the world is a separate issue and each should be tackled individually

me now: all of our societal issues are rooted in patriarchal capitalism. it's everyone's fight who's not an able-bodied middle-class christian cishet white man, because in some way (many people more than one), we are all oppressed and collectively suffering. the divide of hatred exists to keep us from seizing power and uprooting the current paradigm, but it does not have to be like that. none of us are free until all of us are free.

SHOUTOUT

to the people who grew up with undiagnosed adhd and were called liars or idiots when they forgot things frequently, constantly were told to "stop twitching" or "stop bouncing your leg" when you physically, literally, could not stop yourself, frequently fell behind in school work because you were completely unable to focus on your work, even when you had "no distractions" ("it works for everyone else, why not you?"), got in trouble for impulsively lashing out at teachers and other students in a haze of frustration and embarrassment that you simply Could Not understand, and having your mental issues repressed because you were told it didn't exist? how's that neurodivergency, paganism, and queerness working out for y'all?

Growing up bisexual is just continuously obsessing over kickass women and over-identifying with the himbos who love them.

Shout out to Duolingo for this new avatar that alternates between a male and female voice! My favorite language app comes with vocabulary, sentence practices, and non-binary solidarity!

We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re filled with existential fear- Daniel Howell (Basically I’m Gay)

I would just like to say (even though he will never find this :() that I support Dan queer or not. I’ve always looked up to him. I remember watching his videos in middle school, they make me so happy and all of my problems look so small. He and Phil both helped me through some very hard times. Just by being themselves! And I know that this will help others and all he had to do was be Dan. If he ever finds this I just wanted to say that you’re right we never have and never will have it figured out. But from watching you it lets me know that it will all be okay. Thanks Dan, you’re great.

Sincerely Dan trash #2
