not gonna lie chic fil a is absolutely overrated and their homophobia is 100% the reason for that. nothing makes people double down like being asked to reconsider their choices for another person's sake. the cishets have brainwashed themselves into thinking that the chicken is good enough to balance out active violation of human rights because its either that or contend with the fact that they have accidentally made a tiny contribution to systemic abuse of an oppressed minority. processing $5.99 worth if guilt is just too much to ask I guess.

I guess here's your reminder, the owners of the chic fil a chain are not just homophobic, they actively fund involuntary conversion therapy programs in Uganda. and on the other hand, your contribution of $5.99 is not that much involvement, just say whoops my bad and move on!

"ugh I know they're homophobic but the chicken is soooooo good" eat the chicken or don't Amanda, just quit giving them free marketing

i do not care if someone learned compassion from a cartoon or a comic or an anime im just glad they're here with us now a better person fighting the good fight. should it have taken something so trivial? maybe not- but it's in the past! and this is the now! and if they're objectively better for it who cares

Guy just walked in with a shirt that said “I don’t question my wife’s choices because I’m one of them” and frankly I’m obsessed

Honestly if there's ONE thing I wish I could get all queer people to understand is that if you're in a situation where you know everyone would treat you differently, especially to the point of it putting your life in danger, if they found out you're queer, you aren't experiencing privilege, you're in a hostage situation.

Like sorry experiencing "passing privilege" is actually just being trapped in a room with a bloodthirsty t-rex and having people tell you that you should be thankful because thier vision is based on movement and you can just stand still. It's not a privilege to be erased, to have to lie to everyone around you to stay safe-ish, to have to closet yourself because you know even a single step out of line could be the end of your entire world.

None of us should have to be thankful to stand in front of a loaded gun while the person holding it goes "haha, don't worry, I only use this on faggots, and you're not a fag....right?" Like this is not a net good and it has almost nothing in common with actually being part of a privileged group.

Anyway, Happy Pride, let's leave this shit behind.

Would it be autumn without sharing my portrait of Pierre?? He's the most dapper of kitties! Jk, he's a total dork that chases me around and meows like an old man, because he says he's always hungry!

[firestyle37]

why does it feel morally wrong to spend all day in bed or at home. like i do it often but the whole time im wracked with guilt. it's literally not hurting anybody
