“You’d really do that?” says Sonia. “You’d really come to my parents’ with me?” “If you’re ready to tell them the truth about your marriage, and the truth about us,” says Violet. “But I don’t want you to feel pressured-” “I want to tell them,” says Sonia. Her teeth are gnawing at her bottom lip, which has started to tremble, but her voice is clear. “I want to tell them. I’m sick of living like this. I’m sick of feeling ashamed. I’m sick of not being able to stand up and look my parents in the eye and say ‘This is who I am.’ I’m ready, Violet. I don’t want to live my life as a lie any more.” “You don’t have to decide immediately,” says Violet. “You can take some time to think about it-” "No, I’m sure,” says Sonia. “I’m sure. I love you, Violet. With you by my side, I can do anything.”
I did some things. (If you use “retard” “autistic” or “gay” as an insult in an argument, just take the L.. you’ve already lost. (Also might do more of these)
I have recently become more active in showing my alliance to the community but I have a question.
As a child and teen, I never had an opinion on the lgbt community, however, I never felt negatively. At all.
As I’ve grown into adulthood, I’m progressively developing a positive opinion and I’m looking to become a more active ally for the community.
The only obstacle I face is, and leading into my question, how do I show my support at Pride events?
I am attending my first ever Pride event in a week and I have seen articles and stories on Tumblr about parents are showing their support in place of unsupportive parents of the community. This sits with me deep in my heart.
I am not a mother, so I cannot offer this type of support. However, I am a sister, neice, cousin. I don’t feel like I need to or have to wear a sign declaring this, however, because of my naivety and willingness to learn more, I wondering if positivity is the only way I can show my support or if there are any other ways?
The reason behind my wanting to actively take part more than I ever have before, is because my nephew has recently come out to his family as preferred male and is in his future wanting to change his female body to male and I want to change my naivety to better support him, therein showing my support for the rest of the community.
Like honestly if being gay was a choice I’d be the gayest human in the galaxy. “We cant have gays on tv because it will turn our kids gay” like excuse me but if it was a choice we’d be the gayest of the gays. We are who we are and if that isnt enough for some people than they can fuck all the way off.
Does anyone just have those irrational conversations that people drag you into because they think their opinion is an absolute solid fact that’s indisputable but in fact they are fucking idiots? I got drug into a conversation about “gays going to hell” at a bloody maccys. Like no sir we aren’t going to hell a clean 50% of us dug our way up from hell just to get some bloody hot fries and to shitpost the other 50% are absolute angels sent from god to keep the shitposters in line. Bloody hell I can assure you you’ll end up their before any of us do so good day sir and piss off.
Living in a heteronormative world is really odd to me. Like we as a society have grown up with predominantly straight couples in shows, movies, and on social media. But if a gay couple is in a movie or even an animation for any amount of time mums and dads alike are raising hell and screaming that “the lgbtq+ community is trying to corrupt their child and they’ll have none of it” so their gonna start a petition that does absolutely fuck all just to show that they are immature bigots. Like I grew up watching straight couples being plastered everywhere up until I was about 16 and look at me, alla that straight influence and I’m still gay as fuck. Like I dont understand this shit and the people that think that we as a community are trying to corrupt people while most of us spend all day shitposting and eat hot chips while avoiding social interaction of any kind.
So into this amazing lady! @ellosteph thank you so much for interviewing me today. You are so awesome! #mediababesrock #ilovela #lgbtpride #allies #lgbtvoices #sexwork #cuties
Nothing to do with this but I got excited so I showed my mom & was asked why I bought it & what I would use it for because guys shouldn’t wear makeup. They (mom and stepdad) literally made me feel like trash for buying makeup and ruined the excitement of getting my palettes…..
Update. Gf let me attempt this. First attempt as normally I just use red to look dead but I think it’s pretty!
