Just a reminder that you (yes, you) are always queer enough. While yes it can be a spectrum, if you fall anywhere on it you have the right to identify as such. There’s so such thing as being more bisexual or more asexual than someone else. You also can’t be a bad aromantic or a bad pansexual.
You just are. And that’s enough :)
thanks :D
i’m re-reading animorphs, a series i loved when i was a closeted young child, as a queer adult and feeling a little insane over it actually. like ok so. imagine you are just a normal regular kid until one day, a chance encounter with an adult unlike any adult you've ever met before abruptly changes who you are as a person, and suddenly you are not like other kids at all. and now you have to fight a secret battle for survival, but you cannot tell anyone around you about it, because many of the people around you harbor a secret violent hatred for who you are, and if you tell someone without realizing the person you're talking to is one of the people who hates you, that person will either put you through horrific harm to make you like them or just outright kill you. this is true of every single person around you—your parents, your siblings, your friends, your teachers—except for a few other kids who you know share your same secret.
and now you have to try to maintain close relationships with the people you love even though you cannot tell them who you really are, who you spend your time with, who you go to when you're not with them. when you see your secret companions in public, you have to try to pretend you barely know them, because being seen together too often could lead to suspicion. you are enduring consistent ongoing trauma that you cannot talk to anyone about because anyone whose job is to help people through trauma may also be one of the people who wants to kill you. also you're a shapeshifter. like yeah ok i wonder why so many people who were obsessed with animorphs as a kid turned out to be queer
“does it have to be queer”
yes, next question, unless the next question is “why”, in which case I am pulling the lever
Could it be more queer?

I love that queer can mean 'I don't know what I am'. I love that queer can mean 'it's none of your business what I am'. And i love that queer can mean 'I know exactly what I am, but it's a long list that I don't feel like reciting every time'.
Stay tuned! The Pride Knights playing cards deck will go live in June, 2023 and consists of 56 unique cards, with the jacks, queens, and kings featuring knights, each repping a different pride flag! ⚔️ 🌈
Story of my life people. You know what’s real ? The struggle.
Happy Pride Month ♥
this right here is why ‘queer’ is an identity, not a slur
QUEER IS AN IDENTITY, NOT A SLUR
it’s not pride month but i will reblog the SHIT out of this any time. queer pride babeyyyyy
we’re here, we’re queer, and too confused to pick one of those other labels so you better fucking get used to us because we’re not gonna get less messy, bitches.
A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.
Still here, STILL QUEER!!
“If I am unashamed of being queer, you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur.”
“You can deny being the thing and agree with your accuser that being the thing is awful … or you can increase being the motherfucking thing” (And a MAC grad at that ❤️ bless these tweets)
this is why i won’t listen to the slur nonsense.
Eleanor Guthrie & Max - Black Sails
Okay! I finally figured out what this is y’all. It’s a series that’s gonna premiere on Starz January 25th, AND YES THERE WILL BE QUEER PIRATE LADIES [insert godisreal.gif here]. (well at least one pirate lady. the other’s set to be a prostitute. but still QUEER LADIES CAN I GET A HELL YES). The cute blonde is Eleanor Guthrie (aka Captain Steal Yo Girl And Take No Shit) and the POC hottie is Max (aka Went To Sleep Cute Woke Up Cute).
you know what we need? we need queer romcoms. we don’t need any more sad lifetime movies about queers who end up dead or heartbroken. we don’t need any more real life stories. we need queer romcoms.
I want queer people to be able to turn on the tv and see themselves.
i want them to be able to watch a shitty romantic comedy with an obvious plot and see themselves, to watch a serious tv show about vampire killing FBI agents and see themselves, to watch a fairytale kid’s...
