The existence of LGBTQ+ people is not harming you in any way. Same-sex couples dating and getting married does not harm you, nor does it involve you. Don’t attempt to diminish the freedom of other innocent people simply because you’re homophobic. The LGBTQ+ community has experienced more pain and disrespect than many cisgender heterosexual people can relate to. From conversion therapy, to being fired due to your orientation, to being bullied and harassed daily because of who you are, the community has been through a lot. Regardless of your beliefs and opinions, please just leave LGBTQ+ people alone. The way they live their lives does not include you, and they are just as deserving of respect as any cisgender heterosexual person.
Opening states up again this early is going to be one of the biggest factors in the recurrence of the virus in Autumn. We are putting the economy over people’s lives by doing this, and, as much as we’d all like for our normal lives to resume, this isn’t the way to do it.
Hating someone who’s part of a minority (LGBT+, religion, race) is fine, hating someone because they’re a part of a minority is not. Important distinction.
Taking part in protests, yet continuing to do/say racist things does not make you an activist, it makes you a douchebag who takes advantage of the horrible injustices faced by minorities in this country for popularity/respect.
Happy International Women’s Day!
As we come together to celebrate the achievements of women throughout history, it’s important to remember the ongoing struggles women across the world are facing.
Today, let’s keep a special focus on all of our sisters of color, queer sisters, trans sisters, Palestinian sisters, working class sisters, disabled sisters, and sisters struggling with reproductive Justice.
We must not forget where we come from, and we must remember who we are working to protect now. I hope you all have a wonderful day - and pass along some kind words to the wonderful women in your lives!
If something doesn’t involve you, than you don’t deserve a say. You’re allowed your own opinion, but if you aren’t harmed by it in any way, than you shouldn’t be saying that the people that it does involve are wrong simply because you disagree. Have a little decency.
As much as I hate Trump, him being shot at is NOT a good thing. He is already seen as a martyr for being found guilty. This is only going to gain him even more sympathy and make him even more popular. Those images of him with a bloodied face pumping his fist in the air is some damn good propaganda. This could very well win him the election.
Jokes about rape, racist jokes, sexist jokes, ‘did you just assume my gender’ jokes, jokes about nazi’s, jokes about suicide, jokes about ‘triggers’ are going to upset people. I’m sorry, but it’s true. And if you aren’t comfortable with those types of jokes, say something. If they’re a good person, they’ll stop. If not, leave ‘em. If someone doesn’t like the jokes you’re making, stop. Respect people, please.
Your political opinions do define who you are.
Republicans aim to take away the rights of women (regarding rape, abortion, etc), LGBT+ people (regarding conversion therapy, banning transgender people from the military, banning gay couples from adopting, etc), and everyone who doesn’t share their views.
Democrats do the opposite, supporting abortion and LGBT+ movements.
Which side do you want to be on?
If you are a person protesting quarantine, you are the reason that this is going to last another several months. Stop being selfish, and just stay home.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
