Y'all understand that it is literally not possible for gay couples to be heteronormative. A masculine gay man dating a feminine gay man isn’t heteronormative. A butch lesbian dating a femme lesbian isn’t heteronormative. They’re fucking gay. Telling gay people they’re somehow enforcing heteronormativity by being themselves and dating another gay person is nasty and ridiculous.

God I think the problem you nasties have is you all think gay people are by default constantly trying to copy straight people. Like listen, I’m a masculine gay man, I have a bit of a preference for feminine men. A lot of you would say I’m enforcing heteronormativity, or maybe I’m trying to be straight, when in reality I just think feminine men are cute. That’s literally it.

The problem isn’t that i, a masculine man, like feminine men, the problem is the way straight people view gay relationships. Straight people see themselves as the default, so when they see a masculine man dating a feminine man, or a butch lesbian dating a femme lesbian, their first thought is “oh, they’re trying to copy us.” Even if two feminine men date or two butch lesbians date, straight people still look at them and try to find out who’s the “man” and who’s the “woman.”

Gay people aren’t the problem, the problem is the way straight people view our relationships.

what i care about: queer people having access and acceptance in “”“queer spaces”“”“ regardless of their relationship status

what i don’t, will never, not in a million years, ever care, not in this moment in time, ever, about: queer people acting pissy cuz their relationship appears "normative” so they don’t get to parade around a sense of radicalness with as much ease, complaining about not “seeming queer enough.” please just relax.

How dare you and your friends heckle a RuGirl for doing her best. Even Shae said Sasha deserved to win, fuck the entire top 4 deserved to win. That right there is downright disrespectful.

This Sasha Velour thing is annoying like I don’t even hate her I just find white pseudo intellectuals who jerk off to queer theory exhausting and the idea that her drag is somehow radical is a joke considering she’s on the show with a out black trans person in a space where the production been hostile towards trans women in a way it hasn’t for people like Sasha.  

Her looks aren’t bad but what she’s doing isn’t subversive or entertaining in my opinion but people go up for it because you all love circle jerking with other crackers just like you and will do that before supporting a black person excelling smh it’s sad really. 

  I just think it’s funny how you all jump to Sasha’s defense when no one is even saying anything even remotely oppressive but never say anything when other fans our calling the black queens niggers and monkeys. Typical.

i cant believe i actually have to state the history of a meme but the “the babadook is gay” thing got started bc netflix accidentally categorized it as an LGBT film a year ago. no it’s not because the b in lgbt means the babadook is bi, no its not because gay people see themselves in him (though that post IS kinda hilarious) etc. its legit an extended joke based on netflix’s dumb algorithm and i can’t believe we’re come to a point where i’ve seen multiple people fighting over how and why the babadook is gay and now buzzfeed just called him queer and i kind of want to pull the plug on the whole internet now

Anti-Imperialist Communist: I oppose Assad and ISIS and believe America should cease any military actions in Syria, including providing support for the Rebels. I do not trust American foreign policy interests in Syria or elsewhere. I also wish luck to the Kurdish revolutionaries in their socialist fight against ISIS and Assad.

A Complete Fucking Idiot: That sounds like you're a Trump/Hillary voter and want to bomb Syria.

in a better alternate universe, i never have to see people calling Matt Shepard “a qu**r” while describing his murder 

[meangirlnurse]

just to be really clear, this is exactly what one of Shepard’s murderers called him:

In his police confession, McKinney repeatedly described Shepard as “a queer,” “the gay,” and “f*g.”

Never one to shy from media attention, Phelps faxed reporters images of the signs he and his followers intended to carry at the funeral: “F*g Matt in Hell,” “God Hates F*gs,” “No Tears for Queers.” [x]

here’s your “qu**r history”

a lot of being a lesbian IS rooted in the fact that you don’t want to be with men, at all, whatsoever. like. being a lesbian is about loving women and thats a feeling shared across all lbp women, but, something unique about being a lesbian that bi and pan women wont experience is out point of view on m/f relationships, and men themselves, as something that will literally Never be relevant to our lives but is constantly forced onto us. and so our distaste for men and for m/f relationships in media has a very specific root and you really gotta consider Where this distaste is coming from before you criticize lesbians for rejecting and being skeptical of m/f content

Me giving speech at your funeral: They were my a friend, and they will be missed, but I can't say that they were a good person. They did a lot of problematic things that made me uncomfortable tbh :/. Like, IDK you can still like them but some of the stuff they did was just uhhh YIKES. Anyway, in no particular order here is a list of everything wrong they've ever done.
