I Hate When I’m Looking At A Ship On Pinterest And I See People Saying No In The Comments

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH MY BEAUTIFUL FELLOW QUEERS ❤️🏳️‍🌈

queer is literally a slur. like you’ve never been called that in a derogatory context like most lgbt people? you think your experiences escaping homophobia make it okay to justify the use of a homophobic slur?

queer is an identity.

it has also been used as a slur. there is no denying that. but using a word as a slur does not make it a slur. because before queer is a slur it is an identity. before it is derogatory it is a label. the use of queer as an identity is infinitely more important than the use of queer as a slur because the people who identify as queer are infinitely more important than the people who use queer as a slur.

say a lot of people decided they hated me. despised me. were disgusted by me to the point where my own name became a slur. would you tell me not to say it? would you tell me i could no longer be helena, and instead must come up with a euphemism for the name that belonged to me decades before it belonged in the mouths of bigots?

because that would make you an enabler.

you would tell me i can’t say my name anymore because some lowlife decided he could use it to insult me?

you would tell a gay man that he can’t be gay anymore because some teens in the early 2000’s started calling everything they didn’t like “gay”, and now he has to say “same sex oriented male identifying individual”?

does that enrage you? because it should. that’s exactly how you sound.

you are telling me i cannot use my label. you are telling me that when my great-uncle shouted until his face was red and he spat tobacco and the word queer at my feet, he was right. he was right to insult me, and i was wrong to say my name.

you are shitting on every single one of our predecessors. you are slandering every person who fought for their rights to exist and and be tolerated and be celebrated in their countries, every person who was lost to the aids epidemic, every person whose country criminalizes love and gender expression, every child whose parents abandoned them for straying from the norm, every person who was born and will die in the closet longing to be themselves. the queer umbrella is a safety net, a security blanket, the comfort of being known without being pressured to tell. it is near and dear and important as fuck to every member of the lgbt+ community and you are a blight upon the earth you walk.

how dare you speak upon my experiences with homophobia. how dare you disguise your own homophobia as activism. and how fucking dare you have the audacity to come to my blog and hide behind an anonymous ask and preach to me about how i’m oppressing myself. go look at the fucking wikipedia page for queer and read about how 1980s lgbt+ activists, especially lgbt+ people of color, fought to call themselves queer in a world that still hates peculiar things. and here you are forty years later spitting queer back at their feet.

i don’t give a fuck if people start using my name as a slur. my name is still helena. i will not change it. i chose it, i like it, and it belongs to me. it does not belong to bigots no matter how badly they want it. your discomfort with my identity is not my fucking problem.

i am helena. i am queer. die mad & go fuck yourself

I guess I’m a sucker for shows with a big close friend group that I can all ship together

Like the whole “this is my boyfriend/girlfriend, this is their boyfriend/girlfriend who is also my boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.”

Who wouldn’t 🥺🥺🥺

I just want to be in a poly relationship with Joe Keery and Maya Hawke

I did something.

Sooooooo I have made a moodboard for my bi queen *cough* max *cough*. Anyways it doesn’t look good because this is my first time editing anything in my life, but whatever.

I tried 😂🤧

So I’m probably going to try other stranger things characters or just some other shows I like.✌️

I love me a good underrated bad cgi fantasy show with the found family trope 💖

HOW THE ABSOLUTE HELL DIDNT I KNOW ABOUT THIS?!?!

So I have something to admit…. I kinda liked Gil and Nancy together at the beginning. ONLY THE BEGINNING because I liked the whole Bonnie and Clyde thing they had going on until Gil became a bitch but I still loved nace more of course

I hate when parents say it’s just a phase but I also hate when parents get angry when that phase is over. Like how are we supposed to find out what we like if we don’t try new things. They say “it was a waste of money” or “waste of time”. Also when you throw things out, like did you expect me to be obsessed with those dolls my whole life, of course I’m gonna stop playing with them when I’m a teen. It’s called growing up.

So, I have a very important question????

Pancakes or waffles?

My friend group and me got into this whole fight about which is better. I chose pancakes with my one friend and my other two friends chose waffles. SO TO BREAK THE ARGUMENT YOU MUST CHOOSE!
