depression and anxiety and loneliness is a ‘gay person living in a straight culture’ thing not a gay culture thing…gay culture is community, gay culture is love and celebration, gay culture is creating a warm and accepting place within a hostile world, gay culture is mutual support, gay culture is strength and resilience, gay culture is feeling less alone in the world because you’ve found others like you.

Every queer person I know over the age of 30 is fucking appalled by the state of the queer community, and I have heard some absolutely stellar anti-gatekeeping tirades from queer grandparents. I had a long conversation with a 43 year old pansexual who told me the infighting is almost certainly because we’ve collectively forgotten our joint history and have become more interested in individual social clout than actually advancing the movement for across the board queer equality.

So this is a reminder, I guess, that our elders are on our side. The gatekeeping and the exclusionary behavior is crap.

Stop👏calling👏us👏queer

If you don’t identify as queer then I’m not fucking talking about you, am I.

This TERFy “stop saying queer!” horse shit is exactly one of those appalling things, by the fucking way.

I’m fucking queer fuck off.

I’m here, I’m queer, deal with it. 

I’m not gay as in happy, I’m queer as in fuck you.

listen, i work in a college, and every fucking college age/millenial/gen z homophobe i know uses “gay” as an insult

as a slur

“gay” as in the “G” in “LGBT”.

it’s even easier to find it outside of real life, the internet is full of people who think “gay” is an insult, look at the “fake and gay” meme or “miss me with that gay shit”

there is literally no word for our community that has not at some point been used to hurt us, and I am furious that anyone dares to pretend otherwise
