The way bologna is spelled vs. pronounced is baloney

So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.

Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”

if your friend asks you to misgender them in front of their family, do it. if your friend asks you to refer to their partner as their roommate or friend, do it. if they ask you to deadname them, do it. allyship is about prioritizing the saftey of marginalized people, especially when it comes before your desire to fight their oppressors.

LESS movies about the lgbtq experience MORE movies about people who just happen to be lgbtq. is it really that hard to understand

Do you ever have moments that can be summed up by this image?

Any other aros feel this weird almost pain but not quite feeling kind of in your stomach when you’re watching (usually happy) queer shows that are usually mostly romance-centric (ex. Heartstopper, rw&rb, etc.) like I’m happy for them, I like seeing queer people getting to be happy and just seeing queer stories, but also ow, I wish there wasn’t so much romance stuff or just more non-romance (or non-romance-centric) stuff because it’s like is all people see in the queer community couples? Like it kind of hurts but you’re still happy because ‘yay queer media’ but also ‘ugh romance’ and it’s just this weird feeling that’s super hard to articulate and is low-key painful and very confusing. Like yes of course I’m cheering for byler, I desperately want them to be endgame, but also I’m just so done with seeing so much romance and i just want to watch a fun show without the romance and UGH. Like this is why representation is so important, but especially more diverse and specific representation for everyone. This is why Isaac (heartstopper) is so important to me and i literally cried in his scene at the art show because finally, FINALLY some representation, someone starting to figure themselves out, and it’s not by kissing someone or something, it’s just finally learning about your queer identity and starting to accept yourself, and it not the same romance story. having that OH, That’s ME moment when talking to someone, or learning something, finding the words for yourself.

I don’t really know what I’m trying to say, it’s so hard to articulate, but i see why aros can get shit on for seeming homophobic when really we just want a break from romance, period, no matter who it is. And I’m not trying to diminish the importance or queer romances in media either, because i know we all just want to see ourselves, but it’s kind of like i want some representation too? Like kind of jealousy but i still want you to have what you have, i just also want my similar thing too.

I don’t know if this post make any sense, it’s kind of all over the place, but yeah, more aro rep please

I adore Imogen being queer in any way, but I kinda want her to be a lesbian soley because it would be funny if both of the Nick Nelson Love Interests Who Aren't Actually At All ended up being lesbians
