I hate when straight people talk about how we “should never assume anyone is gay!!” based on appearance/mannerism/behaviour/anything

But they never talk about how assuming everyone is straight is harming people!!!

Not letting us talk about gay aesthetics and traditions and culture is just another way to silence and isolate us :)

It’s so disingenuous, too. Like…I know I look gay, okay? I get called out and harassed by strangers all the time over my appearance. And I do most of it on purpose! This isn’t some high school movie ugly duckling narrative; lesbians aren’t awkward wallflowers wishing desperately that they could look like straight girls, if only they’d ever learned how. As if we could escape being taught! I’m a grown adult and I choose to look this way.

If you really don’t think there’s anything wrong with being gay, why do you think it’s the polite thing to pretend you don’t see it, especially since it’s how I wish to be seen?

This is such a good post, my god. Sometimes I feel so guilty for recognizing other queer folks by picking up the signals - aka, “assuming based on stereotypes” - but the reality is that most of us who do have those signs and signals are intentionally coding to find each other and be ourselves visibly and loudly.

TODAY MY STUDENT WORKER ASSUMED I WAS STRAIGHT AND I HAVE LITERALLY NEVER BEEN SO INSULTED

I DID NOT SHAVE TWO-THIRDS OF MY HEAD AND COME TO WORK IN A MEN’S SWEATER TO BE MISTAKEN FOR HETEROSEXUAL

i remember a bunch of straight girls at work lamenting the fact that the new guy was gay and one of them was all “well, no one could have known until he said something!” and i was just like “yeah no. i knew the first time i interacted with him.” and they got so angry! how dare i make such assumptions! stereotyping is wrong! and just…look. i was the only out, loud, and proud queer person in the entire department when he arrived. we 100% exaggerate whatever personal characteristics match the stereotypes, especially when we’re entering new spaces, in order to send up a flare and draw the attention of our own kind. i saw that flare and sailed toward it ok? jeez.

people aren’t just straight until proven gay, susan.

i’m so glad someone put this into words. like, i hate the term gaydar now because it’s now synonymous to me with straights applying harmful stereotypes to non-straights. we don’t have gaydar in that sense. what we actually do is turn up our volume so other non-straights can hear and see us. queer-coding, in a sense. i mean, i can’t speak for everyone but that’s how it feels to me

It’s honestly bad when I was waiting on this post to turn into something about how we shouldn’t think or do this and I was shocked when it didn’t.

I walk around looking pretty butch, with a hate that says equality on it with rainbow and an engagement ring from my girl and people still think I’m straight at times. Also I have an undercut for when I’m not wearing the hat, which is a snapback.

it is so funny how life is just whatever. it’s hilarious. life is so regimented all the way through high school and then after that you just do literally whatever it’s all just whatever. you’re like “should i do this?” and everyone you know is like “just do whatever” absolutely incredible. that can’t be real

sometimes I remember that I’ve had the same blog for my entire tumblr career and that there are backlogs and backlogs of cringey shit from my various regrettable phases just there for anyone to see if they want and I feel as if someone has tred across my grave

as of this afternoon (january 7 2019) at least 12 indigenous anti-pipeline activists at unis’tot’en camp in unceeded wet’suwet’en territory have been arrested by the rcmp. those arrested include molly wickham (the spokesperson of gitdumden clan) and an elder. these people will not be released, and are being taken to prince george, where they will stand before a justice of the peace. 

due to this event, it’s more important than ever to support water protectors and pipeline activsts. here is the official website for the unis’tot’en camp so you can educate yourself on the issue. also please donate if you can.

it’s more important than ever to help support indigenous water protectors and anti-pipeline activists. please do what you can - anything helps.

lay out intentions like paving of ease in future moments. “i’m gonna have fun in class tomorrow”, “when i go for a walk i’m gonna see so many beautiful things”, “i’m gonna have the most cozy night tonight”, “i’m gonna be very present with my friend on wednesday”, etc. see how easily the moment adapts. it’s like a little spell to set yourself up for goodness
