no offense but let bisexual girls talk about boys like… y'all praise us when we gush about other girls but when we mention a cute boy y'all call us straight… like how do you expect bisexuals to feel comfortable with themselves if you only show validation for part of their attraction?? it just doesn’t make sense??
A month ago, when 49 people were slaughtered in a gay club, we were told the blame lay at our feet, because if only everyone were allowed to carry a gun, we’d be safe.
Today, after a black man was held down, shot at close range and murdered, and we’re told he would have been safe if only he hadn’t been armed.
It’s a search of Google books, but the question still stands, what the Fuck happened in 1870
I CAN ANSWER THIS!!
In the Cornish dialect of English, Pokemon meant ‘clumsy’ (pure coincidence).
In the mid 1800s there was a surge of writing about the Cornish language and dialect in an attempt to preserve them with glossaries and dictionaries being written. I wrote about it HERE.
I just love that this post happened to find the ONE HUMAN ON THE INTERNET who had the answer to this question
i noticed that one of the pokestops by the lake had petals spinning around it and i clicked it someone apparently bought a pokemodule to attract pokemon there so >be me run to door mums coming home w groceries HI MUM BYE MUM goes to the point look around aside from typical joggers and lil kids on their bikes theres no one just hanging around except… looks down hill three people OLDER than me sitting in the grass heads together looking at their phones
I think we really need to reaffirm now that no amount of homophobia can be acceptable in our culture. There is no such this as harmless or victimless homophobia. All homophobia contributes to violence against us. You can not “disagree” with lgbt people’s “lifestyles” without supporting the rhetoric and legislation that puts us in very real danger.
Homophobia isn’t that black and white though. You can hate the sin and still love the sinner.
OK, as a queer person who grew up in a genuinely loving, caring, utterly wonderful, and still deeply homophobic Church, let me try to fill in what you’re not understanding about this whole “Love the sinner” deal.
When we refer to people like you as “Homophobic” I want to be clear what we’re saying here. This is not a judgment of your intent. We are not describing you as a hateful person, as an aggressive or violent person. But we are saying that your actions and your attitudes participate in and reinforce a system of rhetoric that encourages violence against LGBT people, and, far, far more importantly, that forces millions of LGBT people to live in shame.
That’s really what this comes down to. Not hate. Not violence. Shame.
Consider the point purely theologically. Jesus tells us that to desire a sinful thing is as bad as to act on that desire. My lusting after another mans wife is as bad as actually sleeping with her. My genuine desire to hurt someone is as bad as actually hurting them.
So when you tell me that loving another man is a sin, you’re not just talking about physical acts of intimacy. You don’t get to draw the line there. You don’t get to pretend that I can be bisexual so long as I never actually physically act on it (which is already a terrible burden to place on someone). You’re saying that every time I look at a guy and imagine how soft his lips would be, or think about how beautiful his eyes are, I am sinning. I am a sinner every time a dude walks past me with a tight sweater on that shows of his arms. Every time he has nice hair or a nice smile.
My love, according to you, is a sin. That is the burden you are forcing people to live under. That burden forced me so deep into the closet that I didn’t even know I was there. It forced me to repress every genuine feeling of sexual attraction for other men, and to live for years with those feelings straining to get out, whilst I struggled with the constant guilt and shame that came from having those thoughts.
And I am one of the lucky ones, because I’m alive to have this conversation. Because for many, many LGBT people that guilt and shame manifests as self-harm, substance abuse, low esteem that leads them into abusive relationships, and very often suicide.
You tell yourself that you’re one of the good ones because you don’t hate us. You only hate what we “do”. But what we “do” is living. It’s being alive and whole and a part of this world, and if you genuinely believe that we can’t have that then you might as well put the gun to our heads and pull the trigger. Because you’re already doing that, you just don’t have the guts to admit it.
If you’re bisexual and you call yourself gay I’m gonna call you straight because you’re also different sex attracted and that part of your sexuality is just as valid as the gay half :-)
lumping bisexual people with their oppressors is disgusting, equating gender to sex is disgusting, making out like bisexuality is a combination of other sexualities rather than its own sexuality is also disgusting. bisexual people aren’t “half” anything. you sound stupid as hell
omfg this is crazy… op is saying this because bi people who call themselves gay are literally implying that they’re part gay when they aren’t. so if a bi person calls themselves gay then that means that they also view themselves as part straight when they aren’t either since bisexuality is its own sexuality. there’s two sides to the coin. in short, bi people need to stop calling themselves gay because they aren’t gay!
I’m pretty sure op was just showing the reverse of what bi people say (straight) to show how rude it sounds to gay people when bi people call themselves gay, which is not theirs to claim. Bisexuals are turning gay into an umbrella term, and because they are the highest proportion of the community, when people complain they get shouted over and invalidated meaning the the term ‘gay’ is being changed without the permission of actual gay people (as can be seen by all the hate op has received in the notes from bi/pan people). Fortunately, within the rad-fem community there are very few bi women who actually do this, which is awesome, because erasing someone else’s identity to steal a label is a really shitty thing to do. So, thank you to the bisexuals who aren’t trying to claim the word gay, it’s appreciated.
im fucking tripping.
It’s too damn early in the morning
“bisexuals are turning gay into an umbrella term” are you fucking kidding me
honestly Pokemon go is probably going to help a lot with people who have depression because rather than laying in bed all day we are getting up and going outside and actually enjoying ourselves rather than laying in bed all day
