having gay sex is like the least problematic thing that has happened in that US senate hearing room
Your past may explain your negative actions, but under no circumstances does it excuse them. If you do something wrong, you will be held accountable, regardless of your tragic backstory.
Nobody should ever have to fear public officers because of their race. That’s fucking insanity.
Unless you are vegan, pro-immigration, anti-conversion therapy (centers that LGBT+ children are sent to to be ‘corrected’), against children being sold into sex slavery, etc, than you are not pro-life. You are pro-birth. Please remember this.
Not liking popular things does not make you ‘better’ than everyone else. If you’re a person who says things like ‘I’m not like other people,’ then you aren’t better or worse than them. Popular things are not inherently bad. There are a lot of popular celebrities, trends, songs, clothing styles, etc, that are great and there is absolutely nothing wrong with liking them. ‘Mainstream’ and ‘bad’ are not synonymous, nor are ‘unpopular’ and ‘cool’. Don’t diminish the interests of others just because you yourself do not agree.
The entire PrideFall operation is honestly all the explanation straight people should require as to why we need a Pride Month to begin with.
The existence of LGBTQ+ people is not harming you in any way. Same-sex couples dating and getting married does not harm you, nor does it involve you. Don’t attempt to diminish the freedom of other innocent people simply because you’re homophobic. The LGBTQ+ community has experienced more pain and disrespect than many cisgender heterosexual people can relate to. From conversion therapy, to being fired due to your orientation, to being bullied and harassed daily because of who you are, the community has been through a lot. Regardless of your beliefs and opinions, please just leave LGBTQ+ people alone. The way they live their lives does not include you, and they are just as deserving of respect as any cisgender heterosexual person.
If you find yourself in a situation where you aren’t happy, please, do anything in your power to get yourself out of it. Even if it makes others unhappy. When necessary, put your well-being first.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
If you are a person protesting quarantine, you are the reason that this is going to last another several months. Stop being selfish, and just stay home.
Just because someone is caucasian, heterosexual, cisgender, and not in need of money does not mean that they cannot be depressed. Depression is an mental illness; it doesn’t care about your position in life. Don’t disrespect depressed people.
