Hello. I'm a college student who enjoys philosophy, literature, politics, art, photography, music, and the occasional bit of nonsense. I share those things here. You may follow if interested.
To the guy on the bus, ranting about how he’d like to beat up “all those fags”;
I was frozen in the seat in front of you, listening to you tell your friend about how people like me deserve to be physically attacked.
To the girls in the hallway, worrying about lesbians in the locker rooms;
The girl near you had a lesbian pin on her backpack. Her face was tight and her knuckles white as she ran past you, up the stairs.
To the “friend” who told me I’ll meet my fairytale prince;
You still don’t get it. You say you just “don’t understand it,” but you don’t want to either. You want me to be like you.
To the guy who told my (gay) friend he’d fix them;
They only talked to you because you were harassing another obviously uncomfortable girl. Two out of the three girls you hit on were gay. You insisted they just hadn’t had you.
To the tumblr user who insisted a-specs are not parts of the LGBT+ community;
Immediately your post was reblogged with a thousand people talking about how proud they were to include us. You just said they were delusional. It still hurt.
To the straight girls who want a gay best friend but are terrified of lesbians;
You don’t seem to understand what you’re saying. You don’t seem to notice the faces of the closeted people around you. Why are you so afraid?
To the LGBT+ people who don’t believe in non-gay/lesbians;
We exist. We are here. And just because you are too doesn’t mean you get to decide what is and isn’t.
To the people who insist on calling others by their “real” names and pronouns;
“Birth” does not mean “real.” “Legal” does not mean “real.” Identity means real.
To the “friend” who told me I shouldn’t “make such a big deal” about being gay;
I am here, and I am proud. I am not sorry if my identity and expression of it offends you. I will not hide who I am because you don’t want to see.
To the adults saying I’m too young to be political;
My existence is political. The majority of people believe that I don’t exist, or that I shouldn’t. When politics affect the very basic human rights of me and people like and unlike me, it’s not my choice to be political anymore. You get to choose because you aren’t affected.
For everyone who knows exactly what I’m talking about;
You are valid. You exist. You can be proud. You are not wrong. You are not sinful. Do not let your voice be drowned.
i wish i could have been alive when gods would regularly come down from the heavens and fuck the brains out of mortals for no reason other than they felt like it
I JUST REALIZED THAT THE BIG WHITE ENERGY THING ISN’T ALL 3 OF THEIR ATTACKS COMBINED. IT’S JUST WHITE’S ENERGY. BLUE’S AND YELLOW’S ARE SO DAMN SMALL IN COMPARISON THAT I NEVER EVEN NOTICED THAT THEY WERE THERE BEFORE. WHAT THE FUCK THAT’S TERRIFYING.
okay guys i was drawing in paint tool sai like usual, but this time i was drawing white pearl and when and i clicked to have the exact color of her skin…
okay, you’re going to ask “yes, so what?” and well… look at the colors…
you still don’t see???
maybe you will see like this:
her skin… her skin color is in the pink colors????????
and you know… that theory that white pearl used to be pink pearl…
okay but can i talk about how important it is that they put sapphire in a tux and ruby in a dress
like. the most ignorant of people could probably look at their relationship and code sapphire as “girl” and ruby as “boy” or “boyish” due to their attitudes and what they wear. but this. this is the gayest shit they could’ve done. a same-sex wedding, a mouth kiss, and the femme character in a tux and a masc character in a dress, and the “bride” picks up the “groom” and kisses her. it’s just no apologies, no reading this way or that about it, it’s full on gay. no heteronormativity anywhere. what is gender. gay. and like. the ONLY argument a homophobic person could say now would be “yeah well they’re not technically female, they’re genderless” to which i say “yeah buddy that’s also GAY”
