I hope Tumblr knows the UK has a new prime minister who has been openly racist in the past and was voted to be our leader by 0.15% of the population. The system is broken burn it all down
This is our new leader Boris Johnson. He has said the following in the past:
In relation to burkas: “I would go further and say that it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes … a female student turned up at school or a university lecture looking like a bank robber”
In relation to gay marriage: “If gay marriage was OK – and I was uncertain on the issue – then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men, or indeed three men and a dog.”
In relation to the BBC promoting equality for gay people: “must be a spoof”
Other homophobic remarks I don’t want to type.
There is more he has attacked different nationalities and been sexist which is just a google search away.
He’ll fit right in with trump at the official meetings
I was boutta say he looks and sounds like British Trump
For an uncanny amount of time after arriving in the UK, I assumed he was some kind of celebrity for some reason. I was absolutely gobsmacked to find out he was a real actual politician.
Plus; also referred to the investigation of historical sex abuse as ‘spaffing money up the wall’
One of my bf’s ex friends called him double gay because he’s dating me, who he at first thought I was a trans woman, but after finding out I’m actually a trans man he’s calling my boyfriend double gay/even gayer and that’s so funny to me. One of the only times someone has been homophobic but accidentally gender affirming to me.
really don’t like using “they haven’t experienced oppression like we have” as a reason to exclude fellow minorities for a lot of reasons, but probably a big one I don’t see much of is “if the one single thing everyone in our community has in common is the experience of being victimized, then who are we when we live in a world where we aren’t anymore?”
Aiming for a future where trans/homophobia doesn’t exist, and when we get there, start acting confused about why the the queer “community” is dissolving.
Like… you can’t build a foundation out of sand and wonder why your house is gone when the tide comes in
We’re supposed to be a family, not a museum curation of pain
Hey guys. I don’t know how long you’ve been on my account, but my og squad will know I was sexually abused by a teacher at 9 years old. I’m bisexual, and my parents aren’t the most accepting either. My mother has just told me that being a paedophile was the same time being gay. I tried to talk to my sister, to make sure that she didn’t think the same, and apparently she does. I can’t breathe rn, I cried for the first time in over a year yesterday (not counting panic attacks) and I’ve been feeling great apart from a few almost-relapses. I also haven’t been getting my period for the last 2 months due to stress, and I finally got it yesterday, I was so happy. This has just completely ruined my day, if i may ask for some good vibes thank you all so so much for supporting me and being there for me, I appreciate you all so so much ❤
(Sorry if this doesn’t make much sense I’m not doing great)
Chills. I can’t imagine my own high school showing up like this less than a decade ago to protest disgusting legislation like Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill. The support Gen Z shows for the LGBTQ community is breathtaking.
The fight goes on. Keep it up.
I think you all need to know the consequences of this brave action.
The kid who started the walkout at the original school was indefinitely suspended, even though he had permission for the demonstration (their excuse is that he got permission for the walkout, but not for the little Pride flags he handed out). Other participating kids at other schools have similarly been punished.
Teachers who supported students walking out are also being punished, fired, blacklisted from working at other schools.
Homophobic kids are ratting out their fellow students and teachers for supporting the walkout to get them in trouble with school administrations.
The consequences are continuing.
So yes, applaud this - this is great, and it’s brave, and it’s inspiring. But be aware of what the reaction has been.
Remember there are always consequence — doesn’t mean don’t to the thing but be aware of and plan (as best you can) for the consequences
Nick doesn’t go through this alone. He’s not alone. Oh my fucking god he’s not alone.
This is rewatch X+2 (X being the maximum reasonable number of times you should rewatch a show before it officially becomes a problem), and I’ve finally figured out why I’m drawn to Nick’s story so much.
I didn’t have his life. I wasn’t that popular, I wasn’t sporty, and I was definitely a late bloomer.
But I DID have that horrifying period of discovering my sexuality. It was confusing, and traumatic, and has left all kinds of scars.
But the thing is, I did it alone. There wasn’t anyone I could talk to about it - I didn’t have any out friends, my community was … not supportive in that way, and I had no role models to turn to. I had to figure it out for myself, which took far too long and let to a lot of hurt.
Nick, though? Nick has Charlie, and Tara and Darcy, and Mrs Singh.
When I first watched the scene with Nick googling about being gay, I felt a knife twist in my chest. I wanted to scoop him up and tell him it would be ok, that HE was ok. I wanted to spare him the same pain I went through.
Watching him then find someone to love, finding allies and role models so quickly? That was so affirming, so encouraging. Like, maybe the generation after me can be spared some of that pain?
And at the same time, the show so clearly showing that this is right, that this should be the normal? It’s probably not meant to be, but in my head that’s become an acknowledgement that I was let down. That I DIDN’T deserve to go through all that alone. That all the queers and waifs out there should get to have gentle childhood romances, and good friends, and that bullies SHOULD get punched in the face.
Nick Nelson has let me feel seen in a way I never even imagine I could be, and for that I love him and I love this show.
“being penis-repulsed is only ok if”— i’m sorry, are we at the bazaar, haggling over a necklace? are you trying to bargain with me? are you trying to drive down the price of admission to my body? get thee behind me, incel.
Why Straight Pride is super gross and bigoted, and if you support if we can’t be friends
A presentation by me.
Since apparently some people don’t fucking get it.
I get what you’re trying to say here but saying that people who have “straight pride" are bigots is way off base and will only paint your movement as another radical steaming pile of shit.
I’ve been for gay rights for ever. OP is a privileged little hate monger. You deserve to beat into a bloody pile like any Nazi, Homophobe, Racist, Sexist, or anyone else who thinks any group shouldn’t be proud, or has safe places.
I literally NEVER say this… anywhere, ever. Because I’ve lost people I love to suicide.
YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF!!!!
You are bigot, and the world would be better without your hate in it.
Oh… and you’re right. We CAN’T be friends. Because my friends don’t support hate… OF ANYONE!
And this is why we’re wary of “allies.“
Just so I’m sure I completely comprehend this (because yes, I’m tired, but I don’t think I’m too out of it to understand this):
Straight people should be allowed to infringe everywhere because "gays are the real bigots”.
And an “ally” telling queer people. LITERALLY. To kill themselves.
Now, I am begging someone to tell me I am completely misunderstanding this. Because even if they’re “trolls”, they’re still fucking terrifying.
Loving men is fun and good actually. Men can be soft and wonderful and caring and kind. My boyfriend has actually improved my life and I don’t get why I would feel bad for that. If I see any fellow bisexuals pull the whole “too bad I have my (yuck) boyfriend when I could have a good woman :((“ bs one more time I will scream.
Men are hot, they’re handsome, they’re pretty, they’re wonderful. They’re spectacular, they’re soft, they’re caring, they’re silly, their laughs are like music. Men give some of the warmest hugs, and the best snuggles. This goes for ALL men - yes, even the “fat” man you saw, even the punk guy with the tattoos and piercings, and men of color. Men are WONDERFUL. Men aren’t inherently violent, dangerous, angry animals. Can we please stop vilifying men and men who love men please?
And by the grace of Goddess I will keep villifying men until they all commit 70%
this is so fucking funny because imagine if someone did this for any other privileged/oppressor class. white people, straight people, able-bodied people etc. it’d look ridiculous and everyone would realize immediately that it’s stupid. but because misogyny is so normalized, women aren’t allowed to name their oppressors, and we certainly aren’t allowed to be mean to them
Okay, but Able-bodied, Cis, Straight, etc. people aren’t disbelieved or put down for being abused, raped, etc. by other people. They aren’t being genuinely harmed, nor is anyone trying to genuinely hurt them, for being those things. I haven’t heard a single person legitimately say “love those able-bodied suicide rates”.
Meanwhile, you hear radfems saying this shit, supporting abusers, raping/sexually assaulting trans kids (to turn them female again, speaking from experience here), being apologists for women who have raped/abused/etc. men (or even other women) or have said they would rape their own fucking child if it turned out they were a trans man. Having a whole internet culture go “I legitimately hope you die <33 you should feel ashamed to love men <<3” to the point it’s homophobic and I’ve heard gay men feel ashamed for being gay…like.
These things aren’t comparable because the same damage ain’t happening.
Anyways, I see you using “tra” so I’m also going to assume you’re one of those people who excuse (and secretly support) the rape of transmen (to turn them back!!), abuse of men (know you support that one oof), etc. And it’s gross and also reductive. Believing all men are inherently evil isn’t just harmful to men, it’s harmful to woman dumbass. “Men are inherently evil” is just another “boys will be boys” and men who are gross will use that as an excuse. Congratulations, instead of holding men up to a higher standard and bad men accountable for their actions you’ve played literally every woman! So smart, so wow. /S
the account is pedophilic, racist, homophobic, anything you can think of this bitch is it, report him !! dont look thru his account, its gross and creepy, just report and block !!!
Your forgot antisemetic
fuck i did forget that
also incase ppl want proof, cw for pedophilia, antisemitism, homophobia, racism
Alright fucking cry, clowns. Alex hearing “Take me to church” By Hozier for the first time. No one has to tell him the meaning behind the song. Because he knows. He knows
JUST AS I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT PLATINUM END; THEY RELEASED A NEW CHAPTER AND IT INCLUDES A WHOLE-ASS RANT ABOUT WHY NOT LIKING GAY PEOPLE ISN’T HOMOPHOBIC; YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
i love being called queer in the sunny wonderful state of florida and then going online to people telling me queer isnt a slur and i should stop whimpering
it is really fucking upsetting to be told by your own community that your experience with a slur doesnt fucking matter because we all collectively decided it’s reclaimed, like reclaiming isnt a persoanl decision
the idea that i am somehow less progressive, uneducated, whiny, or stupid because i do not personally wanted to be called queer because ive been called a queer by people with the intent to harm me is honestly heartbreaking because youre supposed to have a basic understanding of the variety of experiences that exist in the lgbt community. im trying to not take this personally but every time a mutual posts about how STUPID people who say queer is a slur are i feel like somethings tearing at my chest.
President Daniel Ortega’s regime has outlawed 267 NGOs since 2018, including 40 women’s groups serving vulnerable groups, according to the Mesoamerican Women Human Rights Defenders Initiative. Many of them were affected by a 2020 law that forced any group receiving funds from international donors to register as a “foreign agent”.
La Corriente refused to register, arguing it was against their right of association and the Nicaraguan constitution.
“It is a policy of sweeping away any form of organisation that is not under state control. Even though we don’t have a partisan perspective, they have declared us a mortal political enemy,” Blandón said.
Since its founding in 1994, La Corriente has provided inclusive education for women and LGBTQ youth, and managed development projects. It is one of the leading voices denouncing violence against women and LGBTIQ people.
Blandón said: “Women’s groups, like other civil society organisations, do work that the state does not do, not because it is not its responsibility, but because it has not been part of its priorities.”
With their legal status revoked, La Corriente and other groups were no longer eligible for international funding, so had to shut down operations.
The prospects for women and the LGBTIQ community are bleak without these groups working on their behalf. There is no legal protection for LGBTIQ people in Nicaragua, and sexism and homophobia are widespread. In the first four months of this year, the country has reported 22 femicides (there were 71 in 2021).
