@daviiedag@Non_C0nnoisseur Ok so do you see how there’s a difference between a man marrying a woman to make her his property vs two men getting married to make sure that if one of them is dying in the hospital their family can’t kick the other one out
@perthfectblack I’m putting the word “heteronormative” on the shelf until you guys learn what it actually means because same sex marriage is BY DEFINITION not heteronormative
@perthfectblack Queer people calling same sex marriage heteronormative has got to be one of the most insidious psyops I’ve seen on social media so far because do yall think we spent decades campaigning for the right to marry just for the sake of cosplaying as straight people?
@CleverWhatever@80000divastrike@perthfectblack Your profile says you live in California. You live in a state that will likely still respect the legal legitimacy of your relationships should Obergefell be overturned, but I live in Florida. Look up Janice Langbehn and then get back to me.
@CleverWhatever@80000divastrike@perthfectblack That piece of paper guarantees that if my husband is dying, I’ll be named his next of kin and have the legal right to stay with him the whole time. That’s WHY our community fought so hard for it and that’s also why SCOTUS overturning it is something we have to fight at all costs
@CleverWhatever@perthfectblack Same sex marriage has fundamentally been about securing the legal benefits available to straight couples and the only way to do that realistically is to gain the respect of the broader heteronormative society. That’s not selling out, it’s being pragmatic.
existe um imaginário coletivo entre os héteros de que lgbts são todos predadores sexuais, e isso cria essa repulsa que eles têm, mas também alimenta uma ilusão patética de que são automaticamente desejados por nós. como se não tivéssemos gostos, critérios, ou simplesmente o direito de não querer.
é inconcebível pra muitos deles que uma pessoa “sexualmente depravada”, que é como nos enxergam, não os queira. se sentem profundamente rejeitados.
Can’t stop thinking about this, for the extremely obvious reason (it me)
(And not just physically. I actually also adore men as individual people. That’s why the tone of my feminism is so constructive and reparative. I refuse to accept that the widening divide is unfixable.)
People decided that anti-trans bigotry wasn't a big deal because it only affected "those" people and now bigots feel empowered to come for the entire acronym 🤷♂️
I’m tired of “men can’t exist anywhere” feminism that men “just can’t help” but be predatory and sends the message that men and women simply can never coexist. It’s weird because none of the people pushing this would ever claim they’re preaching the cause of political lesbianism.
i can’t believe someone could genuinely use the term “male anger” and think that makes them a feminist when it infantilizes women by not allowing them to be angry without being compared to men
