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.

you’ve heard of “gals being pals”… now get ready for

queers being peers

I started thinking about how a lot of cishets and even other people in the GLBTQ+ community often say things like “those aren’t even real terms oh my gosh this is just fucking ridiculous” and I used to agree at times but you know what? We have language for a reason- we give everything a word because we need to be able to classify things and explain concepts with words.

Every single day, scientists are making up new labels for species, medications, viruses, and so on. Why are you not bitching about that, saying “those are ridiculous those aren’t even real terms what the fuck scientists”. 

Because you recognize that we live in a world where it’s important to be able to describe and classify things! So yes, we make up new words all the time, because that’s how language works. We take old words, and mold them into new words to classify concept that have existed all along, but are now discovered, acknowledged, and need a name.

So before you start whining over terms like “polysexual”, “genderfluid”, and things of the like, open an encyclopedia and see if species names tick you off. If they don’t, guess what? You’re a queerphobe! Congrats on being an absolute asshole. 

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 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.

It’s that magical time of year when a bunch of relatives I barely know ask if I’m gay.
