I think a common misconception is that lesbian, gay, bisexual are “neat little boxes” that a lot of people don’t fit into but that’s not the case. Each label encapsulates a lot of different experiences and approaches to attraction. A lesbian that doesn’t want sex is still a lesbian, a bi person who struggles to tell the difference between platonic, romantic and sexual feelings which differs or doesn’t differ according to gender can still be bi. A gay man who isn’t all that interested in dating is still gay. These are not limiting labels and not every person who uses an lgb label feels exactly the same about attraction.
if you believe that lgb labels are close minded, exclusionary, or somehow not enough than you don’t understand how these identities work and what lesbian, gay, and bisexual mean. that is on you to educate yourself, not on us to reinvent our words or create new ones to encompass experiences that were already fully included. full stop.
Since I haven’t seen any mention of it yet, except on twitter, i’d also like to remind everyone that not only is June LGBT pride month, but it’s also Indigenous History month!
Please take the time to support, uplift and remember your Native, First Nations, Aboriginal and otherwise Indigenous friends and family. We are here, we exist! We have a long and winding history that deserves to be heard and respected! The word ‘Indigenous’ is so wonderful, and so expansive, and includes so many different cultures under its arms. Go out, learn about our histories and our cultures. Talk to the Indigenous people around you! We’re everywhere!
And not only that, but also be sure to give extra support to LGBT indigenous voices in this community. We are a minority that is scarcely acknowledged, and in desperate need of it. Too many times have I gotten strange looks for being so openly Native and so openly a lesbian. It’s as if that combination is impossible for people to understand. Support our content, buy from our stores! Or at least just include us!
I’d like to wish a happy LGBT pride month, and a happy Indigenous History month to everyone, but especially us LGBT Native folks. This really is our month to be open about ourselves, and I sure intend to. ️
Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute (CIMWI) During the month of May 2019, Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute (CIMWI), our all-volunteer nonprofit organization rescued 62 starving California sea lion pups and we are in a crisis situation providing medical and rehabilitation care for these animals. We continue to rescue more starving pups each day. We urgently need fish to fill our freezer so we can nurse these animals back to health and return them to the wild. Fish costs $1 a pound. Our goal is to raise $22,000.
If you don’t have any funds to spare but can spread the word that is helpful too! For more info on CIMWI please see their Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/CIMWI/ or their official page at http://cimwi.org
Taking a side trip for a minute to acknowledge what’s happening in the US.. The way people of color are treated in this country is heinous. I feel ashamed of my demographic and the oppression we’ve created and continue to cultivate. Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd are just the latest examples of the racism that is thriving in this country. They deserved better. We need to do better.
If you feel the same way, there are things you can do to help. You can donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund or George Floyd’s GoFundMe. If you can’t donate you can call Minnesota’s governor and attorney general, asking for justice for his death.
i’ve queued up the rest of the posts for dog days, starting from tonight there will be 2 or 3 posts every day for about a week. in the meantime, i’ll be working on setting up my new blog - catch me thereafterwards if you’re interested!!
And please note that there are no specific pronouns. Consent is ALWAYS required from ALL individuals, regardless of gender, sex, relationship, et cetera.
Idc if this doesnt match my theme
Consent is so important to know about!!
I know I avoid any sexual content on this blog but this is insanely important.
This post is important and the pillow comment is funny
CONSENT!!!!!!
Being in a relationship is also not automatic consent. You are not being a bad partner for saying no.
I agree with the above comment my boyfriend and I practice that all the time if he says he’s not in the mood even if I am there will be nothing more than cuddles and dumb jokes happening the rest of the night, because I respect him and he does the same thing for me. It’s just basic respect for another person.
i was taught in school that asking for consent is very similar to asking someone if they wanted some tea, and it is strangely very helpful.
tHE TEA VIDEO YES
It doesn’t matter who you are or what you identify as, you NEED to get consent
Breaking all the records with #InfinityWar brought me back to the very beginning - the summer of 2013, when the cast and I flew overnight from London to the San Diego Comic Con. We had only been shooting for 12 days and we had cut together a trailer from the very little footage and test footage I had - all to the Blue Swede song Hooked on a Feeling. Showing that trailer to the cast for the first time - in front of a screaming audience of over 5,000 people - where they saw their co-stars Rocket and Groot for the first time and they truly started to understand the film we were making - was one of the great moments of my life, and one I’ll never forget. We were just starting to become a family - a family I’ve been proud and honored to spend the past seven years with, and who I’ve grown to love. To imagine all the changes that have happened since then, but how all of us have stayed these same basic goofballs who flew home from San Diego, gleefully watching the trailer over and over, singing Hooked on a Feeling in unison, is what makes me so pleased to call these folks - the Guardians - my family. Thank you so much to all of you who have supported us along the way, and, of course, this weekend. ❤️ #marvel #GotG #avengersinfinitywar (at Atlantic Ocean)
PC culture isn’t killing Halloween or humor, you’re just a vapid vacuous nonentity whose two remaining neurons can’t garner enough energy to spark a singular remarkable thought. You aren’t edgy for “insulting snowflakes”. You’re the human equivalent of finding dog feces on your shoe - unfortunately all too common with a nauseating effect that one doesnt wish to invite into their home.
