I knew that if I made a post about how much I personally as a queer person who likes men, like men, I'd get a bunch of shitty terfs in my notes but that still doesn't make me any less annoyed at how fucking stupid they sound
Allow me bestie:
As a queer person, I like men. I LOVE men!!!
It unfortunately happens to be the case that, on the interwebs, the cishet male partners of queer people are not points of pride. This makes me very sad. I've been with my partner for 6+ years. We met in middle school! We've graduated college together! He's going to med school and I'm so proud of him! I love him! And my loving him doesn't diminish my own queer identity!
I love how handsome and how pretty he is. I love how funny he is. I love that he makes me laugh like no one else. I love that he's a little ADHD gremlin that cant ever sit still and I love that he's so fucking smart and can tell me a bunch of stuff about fossils and public housing for the homeless on the drop of a hat but somehow he still can't work an oven. I love his terrible stinky boy smell and I love the terrifying faces he makes when deeply asleep. I love how thoughtful he is, how kind, how caring. I love to touch him and be touched by him. I love going on dates with him and I love having no plans at all and just hanging out together. I love him with all my heart and he's a cishet man. This is not a crime.
We deserve to be proud of our partners, our lovers, and all of the innumerable different shapes that queer love takes. If you think a queer person loving a particular sort of someone in any way diminishes their queerness, please get over yourself.
