LGBT people: share an experience that is based on persecution of our sexuality and gender expression, have formed spaces to openly express our sexuality and our relationship with gender as safely as possible (even though we still sometimes get killed for it when in those spaces)
Acey-beans: we should center LGBT spaces around REAL shared experiences outside of heteronormativity! Like cake! UwU
Fucking GLAAD: Hey can we be more discrete with our lan-
Exclus: OH SO YOU WANT ME TO STOP BEING GAY? DO YOU WANT ME TO BE ERASED? YOU WANT ACES TO TAKE OVER? I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW MY TWO GRANDFATHERS DIED AT STONEWALL FOR ME TO ALIENATE ASEXUALS AT ANY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. GOOD DAY, SIR. I SAID GOOD DAY!
Just admit that you’re a homophobe.
If you don’t want LGBT people to have spaces where we can actually safely express our sexuality, but instead cater to people whose identity is based on a disconnect from the sexual experience, then you’re a homophobe, plain and simple.
You goobers literally NEVER make these demands of the average cis-het. No, you be these demands of LGBT people.
You are toxic. You are bullies. You are homophobes.
Also it seems that our colors are always associated with villains, why is that?
Because Lavender was initially a lesbian/gay identifying color and all of these villains are actually very clearly gay coded (except Frolo obvs)
I mean seriously. Ursala is LITERALLY based on a drag queen. Stop trying to claim ace oppression using gay characters
Even Frollo has a fair dose of gay coding, in spite of the sexual frustration regarding Esmerelda.
Effeminate mannerisms
Delicate features
Ostensibly celibate cos Church (granted, in the novel, he’s an Archdeacon, and it’s been an open secret for centuries that many LGBT people entered the Church to deny their nature and avoid persecution)
Contrasts with the Manly Man of Phoebus, and to a lesser extent, Quasimodo, the heroes
It’s subtle, especially compared to the rest of the above, and while he’s not listed on TV Tropes’ page for “The Sissy Villain”, he certainly fits MUCH of that description (they even note that this kind of character is actually usually portrayed as “sexually ambiguous,” but sometimes is even written as hetero).
not all identities are valid especially the stupid fucking dumb ones that got made up so people could avoid coming out as gay or bisexual
probably not something you wanna say on a post from a dyke who identified as “demipanromantic demipansexual” for several years to avoid dealing with internalized homophobia but okay
Your experience is real and there’s definitely others who have done/felt the same thing. But it’s also not *everyone’s* experience, you know?
Plus if someone is dealing with internalized homophobia, being put on the defensive about the labels you choose just adds more layers of shame and guilt, whereas being accepted for the way you choose to identify actually opens the door to learning more about yourself and being more honest about who you are.

its so funny when ppl say that ‘women can love each other more easily uwu’ like ya actually…the socially acceptable Love that women are permitted to have with each other is this highly specific & controlled hyper platonic shit and lesbians and bi women feel predatory, alienated, and fake their whole lives when they deviate from the Pure Chaste Friends narrative…like actual intense intimacy is in fact not encouraged between women, its not easy, and continuing that myth just makes wlw feel worse about themselves
thank!! You!! my entire life I’ve felt so gross and creepy bcc i wanted to hold a girl’s hand n kiss her and stuff and I’ve been so shamed my whole life because!! it’s weird!! and straight girls all think I wanna have sex with them when I rlly don’t and it’s… pls lemme have my lesbian romance fellas :(

Taking misogynistic stereotypes for feminine women and repackaging them as just cute things that Femmes do is both sexist and homophobic.
There is nothing inherent about being Femme which prevents me from understanding how to operate power tools, build furniture, fix a car, or do any other traditionally “masculine” activities. What a shitty thing to imply, even in jest. Do better, folks. This is tiring.
Our community should not just replicate tired old stereotypes and drape them in a rainbow flag. Ask more of yourselves and each other.
I was trying to remember the first time I consciously realized I was gay, but.. By time I knew what it meant to be lesbian I was neck deep in the “you can’t be gay and Christian” mentality and immediately suppressed those feelings for years. I can’t even remember the first girl I was gay for :(
i confessed my feelings and they were just like “oh ok” and we’ve stayed friends but i feel like i betrayed them or something. we used to say “i love you” and now i can’t even say it back because i feel like a creep. when they hug me i barely reciprocate. i can barely look at them without feeling like a predator what do i do…
I recently got married (to a man) and I kind of regret it. I have two kids. one with this man and one from another. I’ve lived my whole life wanting to be with a woman but afraid of rejection by my family, and I regret it. All of my relationships with men have been emotionally unfulfilling. I have been in love with women, and I connected with them more than I ever had with men. I regret not pursuing relationships with them. I want to be with a woman. I am so frustrated, confused, and torn.
“When you’re nonbinary, no matter who you date on it’s gay” sounds nice for the memes, but it also means internalized homophobia no matter who you crush on and that isn’t as much of a humorous experience.
From El Paso, Texas, Eddie Diaz is the youngest student at Crenshaw High, LA. Shy and a complete nerd he sees his whole world turn upside down when he meets Evan “Buck” Buckley, the best Quarterback the school has ever had. Popular, carefree, and dangerously seductive, Buck can’t help but notice the new student, especially how handsome and hot he is, and how Buck wants nothing more than to press him against the wall and kiss him. The problem is that Eddie refuses to accept that he’s attracted to the Quarterback.
Requested: you dont have to do this but its lgbt so i hope you do. hcs of Oscar (Delancey ofc) slowly getting a crush on a guy but he has internalized homophobia??? i hope that makes sense ♡
Warnings: internalized homophobia, homophobia, mentions of bullying and fighting

You were new to being a newsie
Your parents kicking you out the second they’d found out you were gay
When you showed up to the circulation the next day Oscar’s breath seemed to catch in his throat
He always tried ignoring this feeling but something about you made those feeling stay on his mind all day
It didn’t take long for everyone to realize Oscar was treating you a whole lot nicer than everyone else
As soon as it was brought to his attention he seemed to completely change
You turned into the most picked on newsie of the entire lodging house
It hadn’t been until a week later that you found out why
Walking back from a long day of selling you found yourself pinned up against the wall in the alley
You weren’t surprised to see it was Oscar but your heart started to beat out of your chest nonetheless
You’d never been this close before and you were sure Oscar was finally going to lay a hand on you
The entire alley was silent
Nothing but the sound of people walking by filling your ears
Oscar didn’t say anything
Only staring at you with a look of confusion on his face before his lips met yours
Your eyes almost popped out of your head
But something about the passion that had been put into the kiss made you melt and kiss back
The second you started to run your fingers through Oscar’s hair he pulled away quickly
He gave a small smile before leaving you there
This had continued on for weeks
It confused you at first
Until you realized Oscar was trying to hide who he was
You couldn’t blame him
All the times you were pinned up against a wall with both of you speaking quietly to one another made up for it
A few times you almost forgot about your relationship with each other
Forgetting that you understood why Oscar would always pick on you along with the other boys
But one day it seemed to be different
It seemed as though something pushed Oscar over the edge
Fighting out in the open leaving you with a good shiner for weeks
He tried making up for it the night you walked back to the lodging house
Explaining his father’s suspicions of his late night adventures
You hadn’t accepted it
Wanting him to figure out what he truly wanted before ever coming near you again
To everyone’s surprise a few weeks later Oscar visited the lodging house
It seemed he figured out what he had wanted
Kissing you in front of everybody
Willing to be a newsie just to get you to believe him
But you were too keen on having surprise visits in your favorite alley to ever allow Oscar to become a newsie

Tag List: Let me know if you want to be added to the list :)
Online queers already posting their lukewarm takes on how the idea of a gay dude wearing a harness makes him unsafe to be around children while we are in the middle of a trans panic where our access to healthcare and public spaces is being denied on the principle that we are all “unsafe to be around children” like do you really not hear yourself
Seeing people within your own community go off about how they “totally support gay people but don’t wanna see them fucking in public” based on hypothetical scenarios they invented and got mad over and acting like seeing a shirtless dude in a pup mask on a leash is akin to being assaulted while social media is composed of nothing but calls to violence over trans/gay people existing in proximity to a child and new articles everyday that frame being alive as a trans woman as inherently predatory lmao
