#pride representation

[awesomefringey]

Matty Healy and his bassist kissed on stage. When will Louis and Isaac?

Nonnie, I know you probably meant this in a lighthearted way 💕. God knows I loooove to make up stories about Isaac’s unrequited crush on Louis, BUT…

Matty Healy did that stunt for what?! I’ve only known the guy since Twitter forced him onto my timeline last year and ever since I’m just… confused and appalled by him.

I found this queer Malaysian who made it very clear how hurtful Matty Healy’s actions and performative activism were to the LGBTQ+ community in Malaysia. It also goes to show that public allyship of artists is such a fine line...

“I headcanon Mikey as Transmac and Panromantic Ace!”

[mime-rodeo]

give me ace characters who are unabashedly sexy and flirtatious.

give me aro characters who are emotional and clingy.

give me bi characters who can't even make eye contact with anyone, let alone flirt with them.

give me pan characters who are deadpan (haha get it) and have black cat energy.

give me non-binary characters who dress completely femme or masc, who don't “look non-binary”.

give me trans characters who don't completely pass as their gender but are still respected and not the butt of a joke.

fuck the stereotypes, give me more variety in queer representation.

shout out to Heartstopper for not allowing Nick's sexuality get steamrolled in the name of avoiding awkwardness or some other crappy excuse. Thank you for allowing him to correct people because respect for his identity matters more than avoiding whatever awkwardness may follow the correction. I have seen too many occasions where bisexual people will just accept people calling them gay or straight out of the desire to not cause tension.

I don't give a shit if you thought it was repetitive or cringe or whatever the fuck when Nick would say "I'm bi, actually." As someone who has been out as bisexual for a good number of years, shit like that means the absolute fucking world to me.

Thank you, Heartstopper for showing us that. Thank you, Kit for playing that role as well you have.

And to everyone else, have a great day and don't be a biphobic asshole.

if I see one more “straight people on the aromantic and/or asexual spectrum don’t count” I will personally light shit on fire

If you’re heterosexual and aromantic, you’re valid. If you’re asexual and heteroromantic, fuck yeah, you’re valid too. You belong here, in LGBTQIA+ spaces, and I love and accept you here. You belong at the pride parade, you belong in the LGBTQIA+ clubs at your school or university, and you belong in the LGBTQIA+ community.

We love you. You belong. anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves.

Actually one last thing before I go to bed so I can deal with the consequences of my actions later but

My biggest issue with the queer community is they need to learn how to take a win.

You heard me.

It’s like no one can celebrate anything anymore. One of us gains a few more rights in a country and others will say “it’s not enough”

We know it’s not. But let us breath for a moment. Let us cheer for a moment. Let us celebrate without guilt tripping people.

I can never see a post about “XYZ happened and it’s good!!” Without at least one fucking person being like “yeah well XYZ is happening and it’s negative.”

Be fucking happy

Take a fucking win

Even if it’s a small one

And use those as fuel for the next step

We need better queer representation in shows movies and books

We need queer POC

We need people who don't want to label their gender or sexuality

We need trans people who's transition goals aren't to look cis

We need queer people with diverse religions

We need queer people who use pronouns that don't "match" their gender

We need aromantic and asexual characters

We need disabled queer people

We need queer people who use multiple labels for themselves

We need queer people who's entire personality isn't being queer

We need queer people who aren't just there because of romance

We need real and diverse queer people in the media

Oh wow! This is soooo pretty! 🩵

One thing I don't think people fully understand the importance of, is diversity shown to children.

For example, I was shopping the other day, and there was a Muslim doll, with all the other dolls. Two boys, must have been no more than five, got really excited, they were delighted to see representation of themselves

Another example, when I was younger, I read a book that involved queer characters. I fully believe that it contributed greatly to my self acceptance, and understanding of myself.

Representation is important.
