#bisexual not queer

[thefrenchrad]

No you little shit, gay men didn’t died in almost everyone’s disinterest EXEPT FOR OTHER SAME-SEX ATTRACTED WOMEN AND MEN for you 2 generations later to be walking around saying homophobic slurs just because your boyfriend in your hetero couple is wearing nail polish.

Shut the fuck up and go sit back.

Happy pride month to same sex attracted people only!! Heteros can fuck off. Hetero "queers" can fuck off. Pride is and always will be about same sex attraction.

how mentally ill do you have to be to call yourself a ‘queer’ to try to fit in knowing damn well you’re straight asf and only will ever have straight relationships? Stop using bisexuality as your cover up…

“queers can still be queer if they only date the opposite sex” …..bisexuals actually want to/do date the same sex 😮

Why is the idea of being ‘queer’ something that’s cool to you ??? just live your life as your het self. Seriously. you’re insufferable.

i hate how many followers of gender ideology call bisexuals “queer”. use the word bisexual, it’s not a dirty word. and it’s the only word that explicitly describes being attracted to both men and women. we are already subsumed under gay and straight so much of the time: we don’t need another word that obscures who we are.

"Slur reclamation removes power from oppressors using the term in a negative and discriminatory way, we know from the history of linguistics that words change meaning all the time"

No. We also know from linguistic history that words or even entire languages die. Slur reclamation keeps the word alive and does harm to individuals and populations even after it's been "normalized". Why would you want to keep a grossly homophobic slur alive as opposed to letting it die?

As the comic beautifully describes, "queer" is being used as a vague term to encompass more than just sexual orientations but also relationship arrangements and kinks (bdsm, polyamory, unicorns), gender identities, a culture with specific politics, and even just fashion and aesthetics.

Therefore, it contributes to the invisibility and erasure of lesbians (a core pillar of lesbian oppression and challenge with lesbian history) when applied to us ("queer character" and "queer relationship" instead of "lesbian character" and "lesbian relationship"), obfuscates the sexual orientation and therefore also sexual boundaries of homosexual people ("queer" instead of lesbian/gay/bisexual/homosexual provides no information on an individual's dating pool and sexual attraction), makes it more difficult for gay and bisexual people to find each other and connect (we now get to weed through poly, kinksters, trans-identifying people, asexual-identifying people, straight hipsters, etc.), retraumatizes elder gay people and even millennials and gen X who grew up hearing that slur as a threat, invites heteronormativity and heterosexuality into traditionally gay spaces (because again it's an obfuscating term applied to whoever wants to call themselves "queer" and focus is diverted away from gay issues onto trans/poly/asexual/fashion concerns), contributes to and normalizes internalized homophobia (for obvious reasons), and contributes to the stigma against bisexual women being "promiscuous" (again, "queer" obfuscates sexual boundaries and both bisexuals and people looking for a third are grouped under this slur).

So, gay not queer.

*grabs your hands and speaks to you in a tone that is so gentle* they/them pronouns stop being universal once you learn a person's pronouns. Sometimes that person's pronouns will include they/them and in that specific case you are allowed to keep using those pronouns for that person. In any case where you learn a persons pronouns and that person doesn't use they/them, you should no longer use those pronouns for that person. If you continue to use they/them pronouns knowing that person doesn't use them, you are now misgendering that person. Kindly stop doing that please. Thank you, I love you.

i don't care how uncomfortable you are around cis men, queer cis men still need places to go, and sometimes, those spaces will be shared with yours. disabled and neurodivergent queer men and queer men of color especially need a place to go. the queer community isn't the "fuck cis men" community. that is the rad fem community. if you think cis men and people who read as cis men are inherently "too scary" or shouldn't be allowed in queer spaces, you joined the wrong community.

Lesbian, not queer.

Gay, not queer.

Bisexual, not queer.

I love that queer can mean 'I don't know what I am'. I love that queer can mean 'it's none of your business what I am'. And i love that queer can mean 'I know exactly what I am, but it's a long list that I don't feel like reciting every time'.

this pride, i learnt about the Palestinian trans woman Oscar Al-Halabiye, dancer and resistance fighter against the israeli occupation in Southern Lebanon. she named herself Oscar after Lady Oscar from the "The Rose of Versailles", a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Riyoko Ikeda.

her story is documented in Cinema Fouad(1993). zionists use pink washing to reinforce their genocidal terrorist narrative when queer Palestinians have been fighting against the occupation since the very beginning. you can watch it here with english subtitles. long live the intifada!

"we need more weird queers!!"

you start parroting TERF talking points the milisecond someone says they are a lesboy or gaygirl

you cry when mspec lesbians/gays exist

you refuse to use neopronouns or it/its, even when those are a persons only set of pronouns

you expect a-specs to experience attraction in some way (yes, that includes platonic attraction)

you exclude intersex people

you can't even accept furries.

[selkie-on-land]

Lesbian not queer

Gay not queer

Bisexual not queer

i propose that instead of pride month, we have queer year (queer people are treated like actual people all year long)

"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

EDIT: added a keep reading cause this is a long post lol

EDIT: everyone in the comments needs to shut up or I will turn comments off, stop arguing, jeez
