Not leaving, but not really here

Since getting a new job last year I have been less and less on socials. I have basically abandoned twitter ( X whatever) and I am mostly not here. Sorry for not posting as much, but at this point there are so many Bees on Tumblr that I don't feel like I have to be anymore

Did you know the color lavender is very much intertwined with LGBTQ+ history?

From Sappho's poetry, to the 1920's gay anthem, to the "Lavender Menace" of the 1970's, lavender is in fact THE gay color.

“I was a police officer for nearly ten years and I was a bastard. We all were.

“This essay has been kicking around in my head for years now and I’ve never felt confident enough to write it. It’s a time in my life I’m ashamed of. It’s a time that I hurt people and, through inaction, allowed others to be hurt. It’s a time that I acted as a violent agent of capitalism and white supremacy. Under the guise of public safety, I personally ruined people’s lives but in so doing, made the public no safer… so did the family members and close friends of mine who also bore the badge alongside me.

“But enough is enough.

“The reforms aren’t working. Incrementalism isn’t happening. Unarmed Black, indigenous, and people of color are being killed by cops in the streets and the police are savagely attacking the people protesting these murders.

“American policing is a thick blue tumor strangling the life from our communities and if you don’t believe it when the poor and the marginalized say it, if you don’t believe it when you see cops across the country shooting journalists with less-lethal bullets and caustic chemicals, maybe you’ll believe it when you hear it straight from the pig’s mouth.”

honestly, it depends on who you ask and what you define as romance, and I don't mean that as a non answer, but it is something that gets debated pretty often in side b circles. Some would say it is off limits, some would say as long as there is not sexual activity it's fine, but I feel like most of us would say "it depends," on the circumstances and the people involved. For a long time it is probably something that would be completely shunned as an idea, but over the past few years an accepting view of romance (depending on ones definition) has become more commonplace

What is the Side B opinion on romance between people of the same gender? I know that Side B people believe God calls us to celibacy, but what are their views on celibate romance?

As someone who is Side A, I’m not sure. I’d invite you to take this question to @thegreatkiskadee, if they don’t mind answering.
