Nyle DiMarco & Chella Man Teach Us Queer Sign Language 

mash being surprisingly queer in the 70′s - 18/?

*going to a festival that celebrates what has for a long time been considered sexual degeneracy by society* Oh boy I sure hope I don’t encounter anything that society views as sexually degenerate!

A man walked straight into a bar

And then came out

yeah it’s not always good to label people and ‘put them into boxes’, but also sometimes people like discovering boxes and placing themselves inside because they’re cosy and comfortable and they fit just right. words like fat and black and disabled and gay and trans aren’t bad, and people are allowed to put themselves into boxes if it helps them establish their identity

People are like cats. They don’t like being forced into a box, but give them a box that’s comfy and feels right to them, and they will crawl right into it and have a sit.

i cant wait for the day boys arent scared to kiss another boy in the streets or on the bus, in the school halls, in the mall, or anywhere in public where people can see. mlm deserve to love freely and openly without fear.

like jesus fuck dude. i’m so FUCKING  tired of having to listen to straight people talk about how a gay romance or a trans character should ~add to the story~ as if straight romances and cis characters have ever had to have a reason to exist

"Why are you hornyposting, you never hornypost" buddy, I hornypost all the time. It's just I'm usually hornyposting about dicks, and everybody assumes I'm doing a bit because Tumblr has the sexual mores of a Roman senator and regards men sucking dick as a form of comedy.

While that's definitely true, I feel it's worth noting that it's not just MLM who get the "we will respect you if and only if you exclusively top" treatment around here; obviously I can't speak from first-hand experience, but the way this site talks about WLW bottoms often feels like it's going pretty far beyond the boundaries of friendly ribbing, too.

i don't really see a lot of support for genderfluid people, so here's to every genderfluid person

here's to every genderfluid person whose gender changes throughout the day or day by day, here's to every genderfluid person whose gender rarely changes, here's to every genderfluid person who identify as gays and lesbians, here's to every genderfluid person who have just a few genders, here's to every genderfluid person who has many genders, here's to every genderfluid person who identifies with other terms like multigender, genderqueer and nonbinary, here's to every genderfluid perso with weird genders, here's to every genderfluid person who's never a man or a woman, here's to every genderfluid person who refuses to "simplify" their identity for everyone else.

every genderfluid person is amazing, and experiencing fluidity in gender and presentation is a beautiful way to walk through life

"Gay panic" doesn't mean "I had gay feelings and I panicked about it." "Gay panic" means "a homophobe hatecrimed a gay person and claimed that it's not assault because they learned the victim was gay (and must therefore be a predator) and panicked, which means the assault was justified."

It's really important not to forget about "gay panic" and "trans panic" defenses, because they still get claimed in courtrooms TO THIS DAY.

"But we can reclaim it!"

Not when it's still being used in courtrooms, y'all. Not when bigots are claiming it as a legitimate defense of their hate crimes. It is still legal where I live. This is not a relic of the past even a little. People are still claiming this defense in order to try and get away with violent, brutal murder of queer people.

It has its own Wikipedia page breaking it down by country (and by state in the US). If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, here's a link. Go read it.

I am 100% in favor of reclaiming plenty of things. I'm a queer faggot dyke degenerate and proud of it. But in the case of "gay panic defense," we really need to not muddy the waters about what that means, because it's still an active concern for plenty of people worldwide.
