Stumbled across the sapphic and achillean flag combined and thought it was beautiful Lesbian gay solidarity.

Note: I prefer these designs over the lesbian and blue gay men designs. Much prettier and packed with more meaning

Watching Bocchi with friends is a lot of fun, watching Bocchi with gay friends is even better, the way my bff *gasped* when kita patted bocchis face in the beach episode was so funny/cute

my family went to mackinac island's pride event this weekend and it was refreshingly full of regular gay couples

All this hate on Charlastor fans ALMOST makes me petty-ship it.

I say almost and I won't because I have Rosie and Alastor as LG solidarity besties. And that's because when the pilot rolled out, I thought Alastor was gay based on his words to Angel "And what can you do, my effeminate fella?", then I saw a comment saying he's gay and ran with it not looking back twice (I wasn't in the fandom all these years, I unfortunately disliked the pilot thinking Angel was a walking stereotype and the RACISM, the SEXISM, too much for me even if I loved the concept of HH.)

Tbh, did Viv ever say Alastor was gay at any point? Then perhaps changed it to aroace??? Idk, I remember this very vaguely and it's not like it wouldn't be in character for her to say shit so she escapes criticism/is able to dunk on people via "well, atchually-"

I don't think she did, but I remember the SH crew -- including Sam Miller -- was joking about it him being gay when the first images from the series dropped.

Side note; but intersectionality will always be important to me. Like I have so many identities that are stereotyped so badly and whenever I join a community I know that one of them will be brought up in a negative way. I will always identify as an intersectional feminist because I know that even though I may be in a community with people that are similar(LG(BT)+/Black/Muslim/Feminist community/etc) I still can’t trust them to be normal about other parts of my identity. Every single time it’s “Okay, they’re normal about X identity but are they normal about Y identity?”

As an African-American and a Muslim (non-practicing but still 🫶🏾) , I can’t trust people in the LGBT+ community to be normal about me due to their rampant racism and Islamophobia that they try and mask with the “all Muslims are angry homophobic barbarians so I have a right to fear and dislike them :(((“ stereotype. I can’t trust them to not be antiblack and speak over or ignore or tone police black people in community. I’ve seen how vile and disgusting white queers become towards queer Muslims and how similar they act towards conservatives. Rather than educate themselves they continue to perpetuate stereotypes about us and exclude us from the community. Do you know how honest to god tiring, depressing, and rage-inducing it feels to see people comment “you would get stoned to death for that” in response to queer Arab Muslims for just existing?? All of a sudden they forget about all the anti-LGBT and trans laws passed this year and last. I do not feel safe around these types of people and even when I say that I get painted as the bad guy for not wanting to accept racism and Islamophobia from within in my own community (that I don’t even feel a fucking part of btw). I honestly feel no solidarity with white queers due to the creeping feeling of their racism. It’s so disgusting how I went from loving being apart of the LGBT to just seeing it as another breeding ground for antiblackness.

I get really sick and tired of being seen as black before anything else and I am tired of white queers thinking that being queer is the ultimate form of oppression that they’ll ever face. I want to be accepted as someone who is black, Muslim, bisexual, and genderfluid.

This person is trying to infiltrate, troll, harass and dox gay men for daring to question and disagree with her — planning to do this on tumblr and then seek to get into discord servers

She may well also pull false flag ops where she says horrible things and abuses people while pretending to be a gay man TEHM or a “terf” gay woman.

Eugh. Yeah, I've seen this person around harassing gay men on my dash. Didn't know about the alt account stuff, but I think there was some anon being really tryhard about getting into some TEHM server last night, so I guess that answers that. Idk why this anon was sent to me in particular...LG solidarity I suppose?

@chai-spiciest @youn8ss @lavenderlad

@-ing you guys as a heads up since you were mentioned in one of the posts, even though I'm pretty sure you already know about this buffoon

[bi-sapphics]

we really do need to bring back pride to the bisexual community. there’s so much undeserved negativity surrounding bisexuals and it honestly needs to stop already, especially considering how many of us it impacts to the point we internalize it and spread the same shitty rhetoric. we fight hard to clear our name all the damn time and it gets old. no one else will be our ally, not even the LG at this point oftentimes (i appreciate those of you whose solidarity is genuine and unconditional and i return the gesture), so it’s even more important that we are our own and each others’ allies. it’s like. damn. we can try to prove ourselves all we want but eventually we have to recognize that it’s not gonna be enough for some people. ever. so date women. date men. date whoever you love. go bi4bi to protect your well-being if you have to, it’s not personal. don’t date women as a sapphic to please lesbians, don’t date men as a sapphic to please straights. it’s not gonna work out the way you want it to, i promise. just know what you can do and what you have access to (i.e. history, culture) and either do it or don’t and make that decision only for yourself and other bisexuals, if that extra part really matters to you. i’m tired and the only way to fix that is to be unapologetic, since it doesn’t matter what your intentions are anyway. it’s not gonna affect the reactions you get so it won’t affect your morality either. people just suck.

I’m out here getting jumpscared by naked man chest for the LG solidarity

[poniatowskaja]

Officially, the story from the stage was that the rainbow coalition needed to stick together like glue against the anti-gender backlash currently being waged by Orbán, Putin, Erdogan and others: no queer left behind! For these self-styled strongmen, “gender”, vaguely defined, is a strategically useful symbol for everything terrible about the decadent West.

The original political target of Orbán Fidesz’s party was liberal feminism and gay rights. But with the official addition of the T to the LGB internationally in the last decade, and the sudden Western shift towards extreme policies such as self-ID and the medicalisation of trans-identified youth, not to mention the Western presentation of transactivism as a logical extension of feminism, a golden opportunity emerged to give added plausibility to Fidesz’s tale of crazy identity politics and moral corruption. Now they could juice up their disparagement of “gender” with tales of young girls being made to believe they were boys, and predatory males in women’s changing rooms. These days, I was told, the biggest focus of Orbán’s anti-gender campaign is extreme transactivist demands imported from the West and their consequences.

Inevitably a polarised situation has emerged, with both sides insisting the T be lumped together with the LG and B, for good or ill. On one side, Fidesz use the extremes of Western transactivism to justify incursions on the rights of women, gays, and the sex-non-conforming generally. And on the other, in the name of solidarity, Hungarian and Western progressives insist there is no difference between these extreme demands and more staid requests like being able to teach schoolchildren about homosexuality or demanding the right to gay marriage. Reading between the lines, testimonies at the EL*C suggested that a similar dynamic is taking place elsewhere in the former Eastern bloc. A charismatic Albanian lesbian activist, Xheni Karaj, told the conference that she had visited the UK and worked in some capacity with Stonewall towards a campaign for greater acceptance of LGBT+ parenting. Going back to Albania, the idea had got out that she wished to replace the words “mother” and “father” with “Parent 1” and “Parent 2”.  In a highly conservative country such as Albania, this notion caused a huge scandal, and Karaj became the subject of severe abuse and harassment because of it. Karaj was clear on stage that she had never intended to suggest replacing the word “mother” with anything else. I believed her. But what she didn’t also say was that, only last year, Stonewall suggested doing precisely this in the UK. The idea was incendiary enough to many when made over here — let alone in a context like Albania, where religious leaders have a large influence, the family is venerated, and homophobia and misogyny is entrenched. And Albania is not the only place where the creative projects of bored rainbow bureaucrats from North London are being used to make mischief. In his annexation speech last week, Putin said “no more Parent 1 and Parent 2, only mother and father”. A few days earlier, a 2019 speech by the new Italian leader Georgia Meloni went viral on Twitter — and was retweeted not just by conservatives but also by some gender-critical feminists who seemed to assume they had found a fellow traveller. “I can’t define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother,” she complained. “No. I must be Citizen X, Gender X, Parent 1, Parent 2. I must be a number.” Sound familiar? Left-wing gender-critical lesbians like those I met in that Budapest bar are stuck in the middle of all this, a means to everyone else’s ends. The state paints them as deviant and anti-family to bash the liberals, while progressives in Hungary and their Western supporters demand that they pretend that their interests perfectly align with the rest of the rainbow. If lesbians nonetheless insist, perfectly sensibly, that female biology makes a difference to their political interests as lesbians, they are treated as somehow in league with the far-Right.

[vintage-bentley]

sorry if you've already said something on this but opinion on f/f stuff written/drawn for GO or OFMD? i have a soft spot for genderbent azi it's really cute but i can see how some people could be put off by genderbending m/m

Dw I don’t think I’ve said anything about it before! And even if I did, I don’t mind talking about things more than once.

In general, I don’t really have a strong opinion. My problem is more with the people who only genderbend one of them and make it M/F, because then they’re turning a gay couple straight. Turning a gay couple into a genderbent gay couple isn’t really an issue imo. Unless it comes from a weird place of only being okay with M/M or F/F, but I think that would apply more to starting with a F/F couple and then genderbending to M/M. Because the majority of fandom seems to be straight women, who can sometimes have an attitude of “omg I love gay men so much!! Slay, queens! Lesbians are gross though”. So if they started genderbending, say Calliope/Juliette from First Kill into men, I would be wondering if it had to do with them finding M/M more digestible.

HOWEVER. GO is a bit different from OFMD because of the fantasy elements and general fandom bullshittery. I find myself uncomfortable with ineffable wives because I know that often the idea isn’t that it’s a separate AU, but rather that it’s the canon characters magically changing their sex, which isn’t something I’m a fan of. Especially because it comes with the implication that they’d both suddenly be attracted to women if one or both of them magically became female, and I see them both as being exclusively into men. But if it’s an AU where they’re both lesbians from the start, with no genderism going on, I’d probably like it. (You know those fics where the TV guys meet the book guys and it’s like a multiverse thing? Somebody needs to write something where one or both pairs meet the lesbian versions of themselves from a genderbent universe where Adam ate the apple and A/C are female. That would be peak LG solidarity right there)

So basically, when it’s an AU, I don’t really care. When it’s magic sex shapeshifting, big nope. And because I know the GO fandom is usually coming from the second perspective, it usually makes me uncomfortable.

On another note, I tend to be really picky with F/F content, and I assume that comes from my being a lesbian and wanting content that reflects myself and my experiences. And also because of my tendency to look at things through a feminist lens, so it’s hard to enjoy a lot of content about women because the women can often feel more like decorations than people. For example, a lot of ineffable wives designs are hyper feminine women who you can only tell are supposed to be A/C because of the hair colour, and I’m not a fan of that. I’m here for Aziraphale and Crowley, not Random Pretty Woman #1 and Random Pretty Woman #2. It often just feels like people are drawing generic attractive women and slapping the ineffable wives title on them. It’s not for me. Some designs are really nice though and do feel like the characters I know, just as women. It pretty much comes down to, does this genderswap keep the personality of the original characters, or are they just here to look good?

Genderbent OFMD, from the little I’ve seen, seems to just be drawing the characters the same way as they are in the show, but just as women? I haven’t seen enough of it to be sure of what it’s like but I’ve seen a few female Edwards who are basically just him but female. I don’t actually think I’ve seen any female Stedes but I’d assume they’re the same?

[hidetothink]

that last ask sounds like a straight TIM ngl. trying to break up LG solidarity cause we're about to kick them outta the acronym

[friend-crow]

hello fellow human that I don't know well. I saw you were having [emotional responses] to things in the world, and that you would like to be distracted by some asks. So here are some asks.:

When do you feel most fully yourself?

How long have you walked your current path, and what started your journey?

What is your favorite dessert?

What aspects of your culture do you hold closest to your heart, and Identify with the most strongly?

Hello fellow human! Thanks for writing! You ask some good/tricky questions!

Hmm... I feel most fully myself when problem solving, or creating something, or talking about one of my obsessions with somebody who is Actually Interested, or just vibing in the woods somewhere.

My path... oh god that's hard to say exactly... to take the path metaphor, I originally meandered down the only visible path as a kid and teen, then determined that I didn't like where it was coming from or going to and ventured off into the undergrowth. Sometimes I come across other paths and follow them for a bit, and while there might be interesting sights to see along them, I often find them lined with poison oak or lacking shelter from the sun. I prefer to follow animal tracks and stream beds.

Favorite dessert might be boccone dolce but it's hard to choose.

As a white American it's hard to find much to appreciate about my culture. Today is a bleak day and it's hard to see past that... Most of what we claim is good about our culture is an illusion. Maybe if I were in a different state of mind I could give this a better thought out answer, but as it stands... I'm just not sure.

It's hard to speak on culture exactly, but I appreciate the general outrage and current sense of solidarity in my community. I also appreciate the LGBTQ+ community for giving me a place to be more myself (at least the part of the community that isn't increasingly intent on whittling it down to just LG), so there's that.

Thanks for playing! 😅

Titanium Fasteners Exporters In India

Titanium Bolts is a sort of clasp and it ordinarily contains ahead toward one side and a chamfer at the other, and a shaft portrayed by an outer helical edge which is known as a 'string'. It is commonly used to hold materials or articles together. It is a progress metal with a white-gleaming metallic appearance. It is a glistening, solid metal that shows great protection from air corrosion.

Titanium Fasteners Din 912 has a rigidity going from 275 to 590 MPa, and this strength is controlled fundamentally through oxygen content and iron substance. The higher the oxygen and iron substance, the higher the strength. Titanium Nut & Bolt is a mechanical latch that is normally utilized for associating at least two sections. It very well may be promptly dismantled and reassembled and consequently, it is utilized to a more prominent degree than some other kind of mechanical clasp.

It is a reasonable part for applications that require a remarkable combination of solidarity and material daintiness. It is joined with aluminum, vanadium, tin, or potentially palladium, among different metals. Titanium Stud & bolts which is basically a length of the strung bar and it is completely strung. It gives the capacity to get considerably more precise spinning esteems because the studs don't bend during fixing as bolts do. It is been valuable in a wide assortment of ventures and applications like clinical gear, synthetic plants, army bases, and so on.
