I love when tiktok just reminds me gay people still don’t have equality and how life as a homosexual is still awful.

Like ah yeah… I forgot most people aren’t very accepting of my woman loving tendencies. Thanks for the reminder

 

[leenose]

yup i get you @shinnayu nayu thats why people get mad when they look on my fyp page and don't see addison rae and charli and any other tiktok dancers and popular people instead they see i'm on the bi side of tiktok i follow a bunch of lgbtq+

can we, as a community, collectively agree to stop saying gay panic, please? it's not a cute little phrase for catching gay feelings like ppl say. it's a court defense - you can plead "gay panic" as a justifiable reason for attacking or k!ll!ng a queer person. and it's not an old thing, either - it's still used in courts today and oftentimes still works. this article explains the back story some more:

LGBTQ+ "Panic" Defense

The LGBTQ+ Bar is proud to be leading the effort to ban the LGBTQ+ “panic” defense across the country. In 2013, The American Bar Association (ABA) unanimously approved a resolution—introduced by the LGBTQ+ Bar—calling for an end to this heinous defense strategy.

my state (alabama) isn't anywhere on there either...there's also been a bill passed that prevents trans kids from participating in sports matching matching their real gender :/

I think I've finally figured out my sexuality

 

[yunaing]

Ig this is more of a rant but ayo lgbtq+ support thread it’s what it’s here for

My dad doesn’t know I’m a lesbian. This is the main issue for me. He is not homophobic …The thing is I want to be able to do that same thing with him, where I reveal it in such a normal way, that it would feel like a “straight person coming out” moment. But I don’t have a girlfriend. So instead, it doesn’t feel like a normal thing, it feels like something I’m actively keeping a secret, which is the opposite of what I want it to be. Because to me it isn’t a secret, it’s not something I’m ashamed of, it’s just something I wish everyone else saw the same way as I do. And because they don’t, it’s becoming what I don’t want it to be

Hope that made sense lol

So. What I’m quoting isn’t the entire post I sent but a snippet that’s relevant. You can read back if you want to know the whole rant.

I’m here instead to tell everyone that I’ve come out to my dad
He’s super supportive and understanding. He had such an amazing reaction. I feel so happy and so loved and I feel like this whole part of me that felt like a secret isn’t a secret anymore.

To everyone who isn’t out to their family because they’re afraid. It’s really scary to have to tell someone when you don’t actually know what to say or how to say it. But (unless it’s unsafe for you to do so), sometimes finally saying it is just such a good feeling. I hope everyone can have what I had today at some point in their life.

And for everyone, happy pride month

*Also since I mentioned in the post that I wanted to come out through a partner, sorry to ruin the happy pride month but I’m still single. IK ITS SO UNFAIR UGH /j. It ended up just coming up in conversation. So sadly it wasn’t a “normal” coming out. But it also still felt natural

As a non-binary person, I hear stuff all the time on how it's "not real" and stuff like that. Anyways here's the proof on why non-binary people are valid

1. Non-Binary people (people who use they/them pronouns) have existed since the mayan times, but just now people act like its some sort of new thing.
2. There's scientific proof that non-binary people are valid
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/stop-using-phony-science-to-justify-transphobia/
https://cadehildreth.com/gender-spectrum/

So you can say you're transphobic. No need to give some bullshit science articles

I'm proud of who I am

Yes! But I just wanna remind everyone that there is a difference between being non-binary and being GNC (gender non-conforming)

I personally think that in some sports people should participate in the category that matches their AAB sex. If you study it, you can see that in some parts of the body male and female structures are completely different and it is easier for most men to gain muscle.
What I DO think ALL trans people should be allowed is to choose to which bathroom they go (and open gender neutral bathrooms)
