@people outside the LGBT+ community

In regards to my previous post about the general public being unsafe for LGBT+ folk, here’s some receipts that I cross-referenced with different sites to affirm credibility.

And here’s something important to consider: YOU contribute to this even if you’re not stabbing and shooting LGBT+ people. YOU contribute to this every time you ignore someone’s preferred name and pronouns, every time you complain about how LGBT+ people are so overly sensitive and need to “not make everything about their sexual orientation”, every time you roll your eyes about pride parades or protests for more LGBT+ rights. YOUR complacency contributes to all of the fatalities and hate crimes detailed below. YOUR complacency allows this violence to continue. YOUR complacency makes the world an unsafe space for LGBT+ people to simply exist.

This article is the basis, describing a lot of the history and current events of LGBT+ hate crimes. If you only read one of these resources, let it be this one.

And here is the FBI’s hate crime statistics for 2015. Hate crimes against LGBT+ folk comprise about 20% of all hate crimes from 2015. I checked 2014 out of curiosity, and it was about the same, give or take a percent.

This is a detailed breakdown of the Orlando shooting that occurred last June- the largest mass shooting in American history that took the lives of over 50 people.

It’s quite lengthy, but this document details several case studies and narratives of transgender people who were murdered in acts of hate in recent years. The information presented includes up to 2015 accounts.

And, finally, as a little visual tidbit, this source is a map illustrating which states have laws against hate crimes, which states have laws against hate crimes that include sexual orientation, and states that have laws against hate crimes that include sexual orientation AND gender identity.

The Straights™ were right all along. There IS a Gay Agenda™.

It’s being treated like a human being with the same damn rights as everyone else. How scandalous.

To my asexual followers:

Do you want me to tag sexual content and partial nudity? I never post nsfw images but if you are bothered by sexual text and partial nudity I’d be happy to accommodate. Just drop me a PM ok? I’d like some feedback.

Shout out to anyone who’s ever had to be “in the closet”.

Shout out to anyone who has ever felt scared for their safety because of their sexual orientation/gender identity.

Shout out to anyone who has been kicked out of their house for their sexual orientation/gender identity.

Shout out to anyone who has ever had to hide who they are to keep their friends, family, and/or safety.

You people are an inspiration because you all are FIGHTERS. You’ve made it this far, and that’s outstanding. Give me a high five. You’re rad and you deserve awesomeness. ;u;

ALWAYS support asexual people.

Make their existence known. Make the mainstream acknowledge them.

Fight to support and validate asexual people who are trying to navigate a world that’s commercialized and bombarded our every aspect of life with sex.

Let everyone know that they are real, and they are important, and they are valid, and they are not broken, and there’s nothing wrong with them.

Support asexual people to the grave.

Always stand up for queer youth who feel like they aren’t allowed to know who they are just because they’re young.

Always stand up for queer youth who aren’t given the resources or support to explore their identity.

Always stand up for queer youth who are forced to live with a family that cuts down and belittles and despises their identity.

Always stand up for queer youth who don’t feel safe where they are because of their gender/sexuality.

Always stand up for queer youth.

Always.
