#every single fucking girl i like is a straight conservative christian

[strawbbydraws]

i have GOT 2 hear abt ur shiro experience

ALRIGHT. BE FOREWARNED it’s VERY embarrassing. I was young and stupid and homophobic by extension of living in a Christian conservative household. I was very sheltered, had extremely limited internet access- only being able to google images with permission at that time. so this is a recipe for disaster since I had no way of knowing the inevitable.

I was a BIG Voltron fan back when it was new. It was was what? 2016? 2017? Who knows. I was around 11-13 and emotionally stunted so. Shiro was my favorite character ever I loved him so much he was so so cool and the best!! I had a silly little crush on him, it was a whole thing. I made him and the rest of the cast on Tomodachi Life. I was serious about him, obviously.

When I was watching the latest season, there kept being flashback sequences where Shiro was remembering things and at one point there was some other guy in his home just arguing with him over something and I was like???? Who’s that?? Why is he mad at Shiro?

My parents suddenly stopped the show and was like “Oh no. I cannot believe this. They made Shiro a homosexual. Children, we can’t watch it anymore. Shiro is a gay man.”

It was his fucking boyfriend. I was so sheltered I didn’t even know what a mlm relationship looked like.

And I was like “HE’S GAYYYY?!?!!!” and straight up started BAWLING- I ran straight to my room and started ripping fanart I made of him out of my sketchbook and tore it to pieces and threw it around my room. This took like 30 minutes to do and I cried the entire time. My younger sisters were just. Following me to see my mental breakdown. Thanks girlies.

I scrambled to find our 3DS and booted up Tomodachi life and deleted EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE CHARACTERS OFF MY ISLAND. this took at least 20 minutes to find everything and actually do that and I cried the entire time. Like sobbing and bawling because how could they make my favorite character gay. Now I couldn’t love him bc I was. A girl…

My parents tried to comfort me like “it’s ok, he isn’t real. He’s made up”

And I kept just crying. I was inconsolable. I bemoaned about how terrible Adam was (his boyfriend) for ruining my favorite character and my parents were like “ok strawbby we’re gonna get in a circle and pray for you and Shiro.” Bc they genuinely didn’t know what to do.

It was so pathetic omg I calmed down eventually but what was that about guys 😭 I found random pieces of poorly drawn Shiros around my room for a couple years after that.

I never got to finish Voltron but frankly hearing how it ended maybe it was for the best. I’m not homophobic anymore but I heard it sucked.

[bread-and-roses-too]

Some FIMs will say shit straight out of chick tract but replace “ being a whore” with “making yourself an object for men” and then get confused when people don’t like that and lump them in with sex shaming conservatives. Like… the patriarchy doesn’t want most women promiscuous first of all. It wants to create a dichotomy of good woman and bad woman, it wants women ashamed of their own sex drives and you feed into that when you shame other women for behavior that wouldn’t get even a single head turn if done by a man. And even then “be selective about who you sleep with” was a thing I read in the post as if they think promiscuous women are LITERALLY just sleeping with anyone who looked at them? Shit sex workers say no to clients regularly so the only reason you would say that is because you think being promiscuous = no standards at all and free to use. I’m sorry I’m just mad as hell

Sex shaming FIMs anon again cause I’ve got MORE THINGS ON MY MIND. Hypersexuality is a thing and it’s unhealthy obviously. But who do they think they’re helping by saying that shit? Which mentally ill/traumatized women do they think they’re helping by literally calling them public property? And on top of that, they SAID you don’t need to be a nun, but where’s the line? Where’s the fucking line? You ask different people how many men a woman sleeps with before she’s a slut and you’ll get different answers, INCLUDING ONE. Ok now I’m done

YES. I grew up in evangelical Christian purity culture and no one was telling me to show more skin. It was cover, cover, cover. They encouraged us, middle and high schoolers, to talk to other girls about the way they were dressed to create a more "modest" environment. I definitely heard "once you're impure you can never be pure again" enough times for it to get stuck in my head.

Every woman takes back control of their body in a different way. For me, it was understanding that I could want sex and think about sex without being struck down. For other women, they may have been sexualized their entire life and find value in feeling good about themself when they're not performing sexually. And that's why "choice feminism" is important. Women aren't a hivemind.

Hollywood Propaganda by Mark Dice 

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hollywood-propaganda-mark-dice/1137833508

Christianity Under Attack

In order to destroy America, the conspirators are determined to eradicate faith in God and dismantle organized Christianity. Attacking Jesus and Christianity is a sacrament in Hollywood because the far-Left hates Jesus and everything He stands for. It’s not an overstatement to say that many in key positions of power in the entertainment industry (and politics) are Satanists who will someday openly embrace Lucifer as the rebel angel kicked out of Heaven for defying God.

  “I’m glad the Jews killed Christ,” ranted comedian Sarah Silverman in one of her comedy specials. “Good. I’d fucking do it again!” she declares, as her audience agrees in laughter.158 While accepting an Emmy Award one year Kathy Griffin said, “A lot of people come up here and they thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. He didn’t help me a bit…so all I can say is suck it Jesus! This award is my god now!”159

I’m not saying people shouldn’t be able to make fun of Christians, but no mainstream celebrity would dare make such insults or jokes about Muhammad because Muslims (and Jews) are vigorously protected against any criticism or mockery and only wonderful things can be said about them. Even a slightly edgy joke ignites a barrage of attacks with cries of “Islamophobia” or “anti-Semitism” and gears start moving in the well-funded and massive smear machines like the ADL and the SPLC which quickly move to destroy the person’s career before they can utter another word.

Hating Christians is almost as necessary as believing in climate change if you’re going to be a mainstream Hollywood celebrity. There are very few open Christians in Hollywood, most of them are has-beens like Kevin Sorbo and Kirk Cameron who have been basically blacklisted since being open about their faith.

  Kevin Sorbo was banned from Comicon because he’s a conservative and “pals with Sean Hannity.”160 He and other Christian actors are stuck doing low budget films that get little attention. They’re allowed to exist (for now) as long as they never point out the Bible’s teachings on homosexuality. Only watered down and generic Christian messages are allowed to be said.

After Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and happened to discuss his “spirituality,” many online began attacking him for being a Christian and attending a church. Actress Ellen Page (a lesbian) from the X-Men and Inception tweeted, “If you are a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people, don’t be surprised if someone simply wonders why it’s not addressed. Being anti LGBTQ is wrong, there aren’t two sides. The damage it causes is severe. Full stop.”161

Singer Ellie Goulding threatened to back out of her scheduled performance at the 2019 Thanksgiving NFL halftime show if the Salvation Army didn’t pledge to donate money to LGBT causes. She got the idea after her Instagram comments were flooded with complaints from her fans because the Salvation Army was sponsoring the game to announce their annual Red Kettle Campaign (bell ringers) fundraiser for the homeless.162 Since the Salvation Army is a Christian charity, Goulding’s fans freaked out, accusing them of being “homophobic” and “transphobic.”

They quickly bowed to the pressure and “disavowed” any anti-LGBT beliefs, which basically means they’re disavowing the Bible because even the New Testament denounces homosexuality in Romans 1:26-27 and 1st Corinthians 6:9-10. Many critics claim that only the Old Testament does, but the Book of Romans makes it clear that just because Jesus came to offer salvation doesn’t mean God’s law regarding homosexuality changed.

The Salvation Army also removed a “position statement” from their website that had made it clear “Scripture forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex,” and replaced it with one saying “We embrace people regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”163 One of the world’s largest Christian charities whose very name “The Salvation Army” refers to the salvation of Christ, cowardly bowed down to the Leftist activists out of fear they would be branded “homophobic.”

Christians are easy targets since they’re much more passive than Jews and Muslims when attacked, and Hollywood loves to stereotype them as a bunch of superstitious bigots who don’t know how to have fun. In the rare case that there is a movie favorable to Christianity that gets widespread distribution, that too is attacked.

Passion of the Christ was deemed “anti-Semitic” because it depicts the story of Jesus’ arrest, sham trial, and crucifixion.164 It was the most popular film about the events to be made and wasn’t a straight to DVD release like most others. With Mel Gibson behind it, the film became a huge success, which caused a tremendous backlash.

The ADL [Anti-Defamation League] denounced the film, saying it “continues its unambiguous portrayal of Jews as being responsible for the death of Jesus. There is no question in this film about who is responsible. At every single opportunity, Mr. Gibson’s film reinforces the notion that the Jewish authorities and the Jewish mob are the ones ultimately responsible for the Crucifixion.”165 That’s because that’s what happened!

Technically, the Romans did it, but at the behest of the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem at the time. The Bible makes it very clear what led to Jesus being crucified. Pontius Pilate is quoted in Matthew 27:24 saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” and “It is your responsibility!” meaning the Jewish Pharisees. They were the ones who conspired to have Jesus arrested and killed for “blasphemy” and being a “false” messiah. Pontius Pilate even offered to release Jesus, but the crowd demanded he release Barabbas instead, another man who was being detained for insurrection against Rome, and for murder.166

A critic for the New York Daily News called The Passion of the Christ, “the most virulently anti-Semitic movie made since the German propaganda films of the Second World War.”167 Many others angrily denounced the film when it came out in 2004. Some in the media even blamed it for a supposed “upsurge” in anti-Semitic hate crimes.168

When the History Channel miniseries The Bible was released in 2013, the same cries of “anti-Semitism” rang out.169 The New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss went so far as to say that it’s a “conspiracy theory” that Jews killed Jesus.170

Even though most Christmas movies aren’t overtly Christian and instead focus of the importance of families reuniting and spending time together, that doesn’t mean they’re not going to come under attack. As the war on western culture continues, the Marxists have set their sights on Christmas too.

Online liberal cesspool Salon.com ran a headline reading “Hallmark movies are fascist propaganda,” and complained they promote “heteronormative whiteness” because there aren’t enough LGBT characters or people of color in them.171

“Hallmark movies, with their emphasis on returning home and the pleasures of the small, domestic life, also send a not-at-all subtle signal of disdain for cosmopolitanism and curiosity about the larger world,” Salon said, “which is exactly the sort of attitude that helps breed the kind of defensive White nationalism that we see growing in strength in the Donald Trump era.”172

The article went on to say that because the Hallmark Channel airs so many Christmas movies, it is promoting, “a set of patriarchal and authoritarian values that are more about White evangelicals defining themselves as an ethnic group, and not about a genuine feeling of spirituality…The very fact that they’re presented as harmless fluff makes it all the more insidious, the way they work to enforce very narrow, White, heteronormative, sexist, provincial ideas of what constitutes ‘normal.’”173

The article wasn’t satire. Salon.com has a deep-seated hatred of Christianity, conservatives and families, and is another cog in the Cultural Marxist machine working to destroy the United States.

Comedian Whitney Cummings was reported to the Human Resources department of a major Hollywood studio after she wished the crew of a TV show she was working on “Merry Christmas” when they wrapped up for the year. She made the revelation while speaking with Conan O’Brian the following December. “Last year, I was working on a TV show, [and] got in trouble with Human Resources for saying ‘Merry Christmas’ to an intern,” she began.174

Conan asked her if she was being serious and she said it was a true story, elaborating, “I was leaving, like on the 18th or whatever…and I was like, ‘Bye guys, Merry Christmas.’” When she returned from vacation after New Year’s she was called to HR and scolded. She joked, “I don’t even care how your Christmas was. It was just a formality. It’s what you say when you leave.”175

Conan O’Brien then replied, “In these times we’re in, that could trigger someone or offend them if it’s not their holiday.”176 She didn’t say which network it was, but she’s been involved with some major shows like NBC’s Whitney (where she played the main character), as well as the CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls, which she created and was a writer for.

While today it may seem impossible that Christmas movies may become a thing of the past, nobody could have ever guessed that reruns of the classic Dukes of Hazzard would get banned after the Confederate flag was deemed a “hate symbol” in 2015, or that Aunt Jemima pancake syrup, Eskimo Pie ice cream bars, and Uncle Ben’s Rice would be deemed “racially insensitive” and pulled from production a few years later.177

Once someone reminds liberals that the word Christmas is derived from Christ’s Mass and that it is actually a commemoration of the birth of Jesus, they may finally go over the edge and deem Christmas just as offensive as Columbus Day or the Fourth of July. And with the Muslim and Sikh populations increasing in the United States, the American standard of Christmas music playing in shopping malls and retail stores all month long every December may one day come to an end because it’s not “inclusive” and leaves non-Christians feeling “ostracized.”

Elite S3 reactions (Episode by episode/overall thoughts +SPOILERSSSS)

So I know I post writing stuff but I have *EMOTIONS* about this show and no one to share them with so please ignore this post, if you don’t watch the show/don’t care. Includes spoilers so you’ve been warned.

Ok, I’m going to go episode by episode then do my overall feelings. I’d love to know anyone’s thoughts about the show so feel free to reblog! I just watched the show in 10 hours straight but alot goes on so I might not be able to remember every single conversation in a episode. Multiple characters have a lot going on at once. For reference, I don’t speak Spanish-I watch the show with English subtitles. 

-3x1: Carla

-Pretty solid start, we pick up a couple weeks after we left off. I felt so DUCKING bad for Carla the entire season and I understood why she lied in court about accusing Polo. Malick is introduced-am I the only who doesn’t like people who are persistent in asking other people out? Like my no is a no. Don’t annoy me, this is the kind shit people pull and pressure others into a relationship. It’s not endearing to me. So I automatically didn’t like him. 

-Lu gets kicked out but can someone tell me where she lives throughout the season? I figured she lived with her mom after her dad kicked her out but at the last episode, in the airport, she says both her parents have disowned her? Where has been living? Maybe she saved up money unlike Valerio idk. 

-3x2: Samuel and Guzman

-Samu is trying to get Carla back. I didn’t dislike them as a couple last season but I knew they were using each other, so I didn’t allow myself to get too close to them. But now I ship them. I wanted them together this season. Yeray is introduced-um, I still think he’s irrelevant. I did think for a moment that he was going to hold his money over Carla’s head so she’d stay with him but he didn’t even think for one second that was why Carla was trying to get with him (because her asshole dad pimped her out ugh) . He was only helpful when it came to the contract at the end.

-Deadass, I was going to exit out if Valerio had slept with Rebe’s mom. I thought that entire scene was pretty much sexual assault and it was creepy. He needs to go to rehab lmao.

-Polo trusting Guzman again was a dumb bitch move. So here’s how I feel about Polo. V unfortunately, I love him. He’s one of my fav characters. I know he’s a killer but Idk I think it’s the actor or something because he’s so pretty (the entire cast is beautiful) that I forgive everything he does?? Also I hated Marina by the end of S1 so he did me a favor. What I wanted from Polo was to embrace the fact that he was the villain. Like the times he threatened Lu by taking away the scholarship or (tried) to threaten Samu. Those scenes I was like hell fucking yes, no more wallowing. But noo this boy wanted forgiveness. Dude. You’re cute but you still killed someone, jesus. I would be so ashamed/guilty to be hanging out with the brother of the person I killed. He played himself there big time. The tweets were interesting way of revenge and ofc Caye used that to her advantage. She’s a leech but I thought she used the fact that she had the murder weapon (as leverage for Polo to stay with her) waaay more. 

3x3: Cayetana and Valerio

-Strange couple but eh, better than incest. So in this episode, Samu makes a deal with the worst detective ever (every season, she fails to solve a case lmao) and I don’t blame him. He’d do anything to get Nano back, it’s why he tried to get Polo arrested for an entire season. It’s shitty that he did that to Rebe but I understand why. Before this season, I thought Rebe was irrelevant because she wasn’t really fleshed out but after this season, I grew to like her a lot. It hurt watching her and Samu get close because everytime she said something like ‘you’re the only good thing in my life’ I was like girl, he’s the reason why you’ve lost everything ugh. It was uncomfy and sad to watch. 

-Ander and Omar. I liked them-didn’t like what Ander did last season but he did confess and was forgiven. So Omar’s whole cheating thing came out of left field and it wasn’t! Even! Properly! Confessed! to! Ander!!!! Oof. Ander SUFFERED this season. But I’m glad the writers chose cancer over HIV because there’s so much stigma attached to that disease and the LGBT community and I’m tired of that narrative. 

3x4: Lu

-I’ve always respected the hell out of Lu. Yes, she’s been a bitch for the past 2 seasons but she was always upfront about her actions. She didn’t like you, she let you know. This was her shining season and I loved her Valentine reversal. She looked hot, she really looked out for Nadia/Ander this episode (and the entire season). She could’ve revealed the cheating but she didn’t. I feel like S1 Lu would’ve so she’s come full circle. She said NO to Guzman which was everything. Oh speaking of which, I actually like Guzman. He’s really developed as a character in terms of temper. I like that he wanted to move on from hating Polo. But when he’s with Nadia, he irritates me. 

-I don’t have Muslim parents but I have Muslim cousins. My parents are immigrants. They’re not extreme like Nadia’s but like I feel Guzman goes out of his way to make Nadia’s home life worse. He’s knows her parents are conservative but he’s strides in the store and tells them about how their daughter can’t study. Should Nadia had said something? Yes but how could she? She has responsibilities to her parents. Her 2 other siblings have been kicked out. Nadia claims that her religion is important to her but Guzman repeatedly disrespects it. I couldn’t be with someone like that. It wasn’t cute that he offered to work so Nadia could study-which we saw him do ONCE. It’s overbearing. Also Nadia just forgives him so easily, it’s like dude, do you not care? So I like Guzman-he’s actually a good friend to Ander and formerly, Polo but my god, he’s so disrespectful when it comes to Nadia.

-Also I liked the threesome, not as good as Christian/Polo/Carla but not bad.

3x5: Ander

-Best episode this season, hands down. I loved the opening song and sequence. The scene where Polo’s parents catch him with Valerio and Caye really got my gears thinking-I was like if I were a parent (don’t want kids but ya know, if I did), how would I react to that? I’d like to think that I’d be very accepting of my kid (given they’re not hurting themselves or others) in terms of sexuality, religion, etc. But I was like hmmm, being polyamorous?? Not one I would be prepared for. But if the kid is happy, I guess. That was random but those were my thoughts. 

-Rebe finding out it was Samu who sold them out hurt like a bitch. BUT MY GOD THE BLACKLIGHT REVEAL!! Ugh the best. I had to pause, I was so shook. And Malick and Omar reveal to Nadia. Jesus. I loved her reaction but it was immediately undermined by the next episode when she forgives her brother. Like I get it, they’re siblings. But she should’ve held it against him longer. Omar got 0 consequences for cheating this season-not from Ander or Nadia. Tf.

3x6: Rebeca

-Carla is on drugs. Yikes. Again, her dad was pimping her all season so I get it girl. Also anyone else think the adults are stupid in the show?? All of their parents are business people but one bad financial move, they’re on their asses and almost bankrupt? Happened with Guzman’s dad and now Carla’s. Do they not invest in other things? Idk have a savings account?

-Also Samu and Guzman being friends. Top tier content. Chef’s kiss. Full circle and character development to the max. Ngl I felt a little bit of homoerotic tones there?? Just me?? I would ship them over any other couple if they got to together for just one night. 

-Nadia sharing the scholarship with Lu. Ugh. Everything. Loved that.

-Ander lying to Omar about having an affair. Ew. I know he was trying to push Omar away but like he was the one cheating? So either call him out on that or just break up with no reason. Don’t make yourself look bad dude. Ugh but the both of them sobbing at the end of their breakup...my heart shattered. That was GREAT acting. 

-Polo saving Carla. We all liked that. 

3x7: Nadia and Omar

-FUCK Ander’s mom for expelling them. I went to private school-there’s rules in place for parents who have money so they don’t manipulate the administration. Polo’s moms needed to let their son fight his own battles. Also Ander’s mom calling Guzman to come over to talk to Ander was really strange. She just expelled him. I know he’s Ander’s best friend but idk, she just expelled him. And they don’t even talk about it at Ander’s house. Again, this is the Guzman I like-the loyal/good friend. Loved the convo between him and Ander. 

-I liked Carla’s honesty to Yeryay and that they could possibly be friends. I always knew he idealized her for standing up for him on social media so I’m glad they acknowledged that. 

-Also Lu’s comment to Nadia that she looks like a pistachio was everything. And her ‘People are watching’ line in the previous episode is great too. 

-KEVIN FUCKING MCHALE made a cameo. Hell yes. And ofc, great speech by Nadia and Lu. Polito’s last conversations really did a lot for me to symphatize with his character (He didn’t have to do much because I still liked him despite his murdering). He got his moms to face the fact that they can’t throw money at every problem and that he is a killer. This scene and the beginning scenes of the next episode is what made me at peace with his character. I knew he was going to die but like this is what he needed for some sort of redemption. 

3x8: Polo

-Not the best ending for such a good season. But the first 15 minutes which are the convos and events that led up to Polo’s death was good. I never suspected Lu for a second, I really thought Valerio (Had some decent motive-more than Nadia, less obvious people like Samu and Guzman) had done it. But when I rewatched the trailer, you see that the writers told us it was her all along. Her line about the ELITE gang being family and that she’d protect them was a clue. She had the least interaction with Polo himself throughout the season so I never had time to even suspect her. Really brilliant. 

-Them touching the murder weapon is powerful. This was the only way to end things. I figured by episode 6ish that everyone was working together based on their answers in the flashforwards. And I half laughed because no sane police force would allow the witness/potential suspects to hang out together before interrogation. At least not without police watching them. 

-I do think it’s odd that Samu asked Rebe to ask her mom to get rid of Polo because he literally betrayed her and she talks to him (although mad) despite that. OKayyy. I really thought we were going to get the Samu and Carla get-together but guess not. I feel cheated by that because they clearly wanted each other all along. 

-The endings weren’t the best. I do appreciate that Omar made the right call in the end and I’m glad Ander is in remission. Oof my gripe though was with Nadia and Omar’s parents. So Lu goes to the airport and admits hey my parents disowned me and they’re like of course, we’ll be your family. AND I WAS LIKE ‘WHAT ABOUT OMAR??’ Y’all were so willing to kick him out and they never really made amends. So like I get that Omar’s dad is trying by acknowledge that Ander is Omar’s boyfriend but I mean during Omar’s mom’s dinner, he had no right asking him about his studies. He didn’t move out. Y’all kicked him out. How do you think he’s doing, trying to find a place to sleep? Jesus. Also the mom isn’t all good. Again, if I were a mom, I don’t understand how I could live without knowing if my kid is okay since they’re not living with me. My mom is a single mom-I know there’s no man in the world, not my dad, no one that she would chose me over. If my husband kicked my kids out, no questions, the husband is going to the curb or I’m going with my kids. Idgaf. The mom should’ve stood up. It just made me so angry that they were like poor Lu, no family but they mistreated their own child. 

OKAY so overall thoughts...I thought this was a really good season. I’d say 1st was the best, then this one, and then second (Ngl I don’t remember the 2nd one too much okay). I liked that it was more angsty and more character focused then the whodunnit? part that we’re used to. The entire cast has such strong acting and I’m going to miss whoever isn’t returning for S4. I’m going to miss Polo as well goddamn. 

Best moments of the season: Lu saying/doing ANYTHING-I have feelings, bitch. Her friendship with Nadia and other characters. Carla standing up to her pimp dad. Ander being in remission (his acting was great too). All of episode 5. Kevin McHale cameo. 

Worst moments: Polo asking Guzman if he would ever be forgiven?? And I know he did end up forgiving him but like bro, just because I don’t want to harbor hate for the rest of my life, doesn’t mean I forgive you for killing my sister whatttt. Omar never confessing to Ander about the cheating. Like no consequences and his character was just demolished this season. Still don’t know where Lu lived this entire season lmao. Anything Ander’s mom did to the students ugh.

Overall, I liked this season. It felt more mature for a high school TV show. I’m not super invested into any particular ship so I don’t feel cheated like most people. It takes me a while to get into ships but once I do, I get really invested. The only ship I was really disappointed in not seeing was Carmuel because Carla went through alot this season and Samu clearly wanted to be with her. And that’s all I had to say lmao.

Top 5 figures from Danish history...

Heh, actually my knowledge of Danish history is not really focused around particular figures, so it’s not like I actually know that much about any of these... still managed to ramble a lot.

Gerda Wegener (& Lili Elbe): To be honest The Danish Girl kind of poisoned the well a bit, huh? I still haven’t watched that movie because every single thing I’ve heard about it infuriates me. I need to read Lili’s autobiography one day, though. Anyway, apparently the movie also portrayed Gerda fucking Wegener as a straight woman when some of her most well-known art is all the lesbian erotica she painted in Paris in 1920s... literally descriptions of her and Lili moving to Paris are always like “so Lili could live as a woman and Gerda could live as a lesbian” lmao... While I haven’t done the research to say so conclusively, from my understanding she was very supportive of Lili’s transition. You know, the whole being excited to paint her thing. The two met at the Danish Academy of Art where they were both students but they choose to focus more on Gerda’s career than Lili’s. Anyway idk if Gerda was a lesbian in the modern sense (Lili definitely wasn’t) or if she was also attracted to men, as she did remarry after her marriage to Lili Elbe was declared illegimatimate by the king (as a result of Lili being legally recognised as a woman) but it was a pretty short marriage and like... either way the idea of her is straight is fucking ludicrous. I worry that tumblr will block the post if I include a pic of her erotica but here’s one of her other paintings that also has wlw energy (Gerda herself is the one in the middle, Lili is the one painting in the background):

Niels Bohr: Prominent physicist who was eventually involved with the Manhattan Project. I was at his old office in Copenhagen one time years back where the guide told us about how both Churchill and Roosevelt had suspicions about him being some sort of Russian agent simply because he was like “hey, maybe we should share information with the Russians and maybe the situation we’re creating with nuclear weapons and no transparency is actually super fucking dangerous” and I have stanned him ever since hearing that story lmao. 

Apparently, he wasn’t super political prior to the rise of Nazism, but he helped a lot of fellow scientists flee from Germany in the 30s and a bit into the war, until he was warned that the occupational forces had designs on his family as well (his mother was Jewish) and fled to Sweden. Once in Sweden, he petitioned the Swedish king to make a public statement about their willingness to receive Jewish refugees -- some think this had a big effect, others think what happened would have happened regardless. A commendable action, either way. 

Herman Bang: I don’t actually know as much about him or am as familiar with his work as I should be. He’s the Danish historical gay, though, so how could he not show up here? I have liked the few short stories of his I have read and certainly the treatment of him by Danish society is interesting (and hearbreaking). He really just Could Not Catch A Break. The media at the time wrote libelous article after libelous article about him. There’s a quote from him along the lines of:

“Of one thing I’m certain; I will not stay in this country. Here people are in the habit of mistreating me to such a degree that it will never cease.”

In another quote, from while he was in Paris and some Norwegian was running another harrasment campaign a friend urged Bang to fight back but he answered that “what do you want me to do -- the three main points are true”. The three main points being that he was gay, half-jewish and a fan of Henrik Ibsen (code for “a feminist” I assume).

Johann Friedrich Struensee: Struensee was Christian VII’s doctor who managed to, through among other things a close friendship with the king and an affair with the queen, to manoveur himself into a position where, for 18 months, he was the de facto ruler of Denmark. He was hugely into Voltaire and enlightened absolutism, made a lot of reforms that had the conservatives livid. Still, it would be a stretch to say I like him, often he’s made out to have been far more progressive than a form of monarchism can reasonably be thought to be, but I find him fascinating as a symbol of the times. And there is something heartbreaking to the mistreated, schizophrenic Christian VII being forced to sign an execution order for his best friend. There exists a sketch of Struensee and a co-conspirator drawn by the kings a few years later where he wrote “Ich hätte gerne beide gerettet” or “I would have liked to save them both”. 

Queen Dagmar: This is more based on the cultural significance she took on in the few centuries after her death than her actual person. I’m pretty sure we know very little for sure about her. In folklore, though, this first wife of Valdemar II (Valdemar Sejr) is a kind and forgiving woman who wants prisoners to be set free and outlaws to have their outlawry lifted. Folklore also makes her midly prophetic in that she begs Valdemar II not to marry his second wife, the sons of whom cast Denmark into civil war. 

The inscription below reads: “Your sunshine-soul went back up where it came from and down here your grave was broken and plundered, God’s angel Dagmar, ask our savior heal, what in the land of Denmark has been torn apart.”

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me. I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love. I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parentshe loves another male. Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it Sorry for the long post. I just think this is important. I got this from Ivory’Lee Lambskank on m.fanfiction.net

[silver-tangent]

I am really tired of Conservatives being hypocrites strutting around acting like their side has done no wrong.

[pivitor]

in my thirteen years in public school (ending in 2005) there was never a single out LGBT kid in any of them, in any capacity. Not a single one.

Last year (thanks to some Facebook detective work) I learned that one guy who I had at least one class with every day for all four years of high school is gay and I never had a clue, not even an inkling. After my initial surprise wore off, I’m embarrassed to admit that my first reaction was a sort of anger. I felt so alone and isolated in that school, thinking that I was the only gay kid there, and it turns out there was another staring me right in the face the entire time? I wasn’t even thinking about dating or hooking up, even though I did think he was cute in school -- just knowing that there was another gay kid in that school would have helped me so much, and maybe I could have helped him too, and I felt so frustrated and robbed when I found out.

That’s absurd, of course, for a lot of reasons, and I quickly came to my senses. I had my reasons for being closeted in high school (and beyond), and I’m sure he did too. To be honest, I was so terrified then that even if I had known he was out, I wouldn’t have been able to admit it to him. Hell, I probably would have made things worse as a fucked up form of self-defense -- I already remember at least one instance in high school where I said something shitty in front of him that I now feel horrible about because I was trying not to out myself. I was in no shape to be honest or help anyone, not even myself, and I couldn’t expect that of anyone else, and nobody else owed it to me. 

It’s only tangentially related, but I bring this up because I frequently run into this trope in coming of age stories where the closeted gay kid runs into some other closeted gay kid, and it almost never becomes a featured romance, but they have these secret shame-fueled hookups that maybe help, often don’t, but at least they have other gay people in their orbit. (I see this a lot in books, but in terms of other media, there’s that boy Lady Bird’s boyfriend hooks up with at the school dance, or that weird soccer kid who gives Riley a blow job in the woods in Degrassi, just off the top of my head). 

I’m sure this sort of thing rings true for a lot of people, but it’s so foreign to me, and running across it even as an adult still makes me feel weird and different even within my own community, even now that I have queer friends both in real life and online, and even now that I’m out to to more people than i can count on one hand for the first time in my life. Which is ridiculous, but there it is. 

You know what I’m just now realizing? It’s not even that I just never found another gay person, it’s that in these stories they always find another gay person and immediately click with them. I realize the story just needs somebody to be into the protagonist, but it just succeeded in making me feel not only isolated, but also utterly unwanted. It’s media bullshit that even the straights face, I know, but goddamn if it didn’t work its miserable magic on me.

I think I was 19 when I first met another gay person in real life, and it was always people just flicking into my orbit for a few seconds and then vanishing forever. The guy who came into work one day and told me I looked like his ex-boyfriend (hoo boy that fueled some fantasies, let me tell you), the two students who came into work and held hands while they waited for their pizza, the two guys walking around Hershey Park holding hands, these insignificant memories remained etched into my brain because to me they were so significant. 

The first person I ever came out to was a guy I kinda knew on the forum I posted on at the time (why I didn’t come out to the gay guy from that same forum I was chatting with for hours and sending shirtless pics to over AIM is a mystery for the ages I suppose), and while he replied back to me a few times, I can see in retrospect that I basically unloaded the full overwhelming strength of my self-loathing on him and expected him to fix all my problems, and I completely understand why he not only ghosted me, but left the forum entirely soon after. A few years later I came out to my then best friend, who was probably about as understanding as an uber-conservative christian could be (”well, I suppose as long as you don’t actually sleep with a guy you won’t face everlasting destruction!”), but again in retrospect it was pretty much the beginning of the end of our friendship. It didn’t help that I had a ridiculous crush on him, I suppose. I was not good to his girlfriends. To be fair, they weren’t good to him either. (One was flirting with him, telling him he was a “perfect 10,” while simultaneously sleeping with a married 40-something-year-old man, so whatever! I’m the bad guy for suggesting that she was leading him on!)

I swear that this had a point when I started writing. Oh, right! I guess what I’m saying is that, as ridiculous as this hellsite is, it’s really changed my life for the better? It’s helped me get over so many hang-ups about myself and other queer people, taught me my history, normalized and educated me about so many LGBT topics, and, of course, given me an actual group of queer friends both online and in real life that I didn’t even realize how desperately I needed. The fact that I’m comfortable enough to even post this is a minor miracle, and that is not an exaggeration. 

So, um, cheers Tumblr. Love you all.

(Oh! Also! I apologize for those times very early in my time on Tumblr where I said I was straight. After a while I felt guilty about it and just avoided ever saying my sexual orientation at all. Also! On a few occasions I’ve told a story here about a girl I met on vacation in Florida in the 11th grade who I had a major crush on, and then fell into a major depression when I got back home. That is not a lie, it’s a true story! That’s part of why things got so bad when I got home. Cause I thought she was my ticket to “being straight” and having a “normal” life but she had a boyfriend and I didn’t get her contact info and it wouldn’t have worked anyway because I’m fucking gay and probably was just mistaking friendship for romance because I was desperate and didn’t even have female friendships at the time, so when I got home I just thought ‘well I guess there’s nothing else for me to do but hang myself!’ and, uh, I’m really really glad I didn’t)

(I swear I’m sober right now, I’m just in a weird mood)

[sevdoesnotexist]

As a bisexual trans man who actually has a preference for dating both bisexual people and other trans people, the MOST transphobia and biphobia I've ever had to deal with both in and outside of romantic relationships has been from other gay people, lesbians in specific before I started my transition to male I actually stopped dating cis lesbians because 9/10 times we'd go on a date and she's be like "oh shit your bi? Lol sorry, must SUCK liking guys ahehehehe couldn't be me~!" (Hate that I gotta say this too but before anyone attacks me no I'm not making any generalizations about lesbians as a whole, I'm not stupid I know "not all of us are like that" I'm sharing my own experiences with dating both as a bisexual 'woman' and now as a trans man)

Every bisexual person I've dated has been very open, honest and has NEVER cared about me being trans. It got to a point where without realizing it, I was only dating other bi/pan people, and large majority of them were trans too. I've always been accepted by those groups of people, but not just accepted, actively supported. I am the only trans person in my friend group of all bisexual cis people (save for like the one friend of ours who's straight but his girlfriend is bi and he's a great ally) and listen you know what happened when I came out again, finally feeling like I couldn't hide myself anymore? Every single one of them CONGRATULATED me, and said they were happy and hoped I would be happier now as well. They all immediately switched pronouns, some of them even got me gift cards to buy gender affirming clothing and binders.

You know what happened the first time I came out as trans around my old friend group, composed mostly of cis gays and lesbians? My friend told me that any romantic relationships I pursue past the point of transition would actually be me abusing them and sexually assaulting them because "you can't go out with a straight girl she'll think you're actually a boy and that's rape if you don't tell her you're not actually a boy" and all my friends outright refused to use my new name and pronouns because "no, that's fucking stupid I'm going to keep calling you {deadnames} okay?"

Trans and bi people are MORE than validated in their desire to distance ourselves from cis monosexuals, ESPECIALLY considering the sheer amount of bigotry we have to face from some of y'all. Like some of y'all don't even realize you sound EXACTLY like conservative Christians half the time

I only ask about bi4bi because I heard a lot of trans people say that it's like a rip off of trans4trans. and that bi4bi doesn't make sense like t4t does, because bi people have no reason to avoid dating gay\straight people unlike trans people who have reasons to only date trans people. I don't know if any of this makes sense, I just saw posts criticizing bi4bi and I wanted to know your opinion.

Genuinely, I don’t think it’s that deep.

Nobody is “ripping off” anyone else in the queer community, and we need to stop with this Queer Copyright stuff. If we create words and frameworks that are useful for other parts of the queer community, I think that’s a good thing! Please build on our ideas and expand this theory so we can advance conversations about oppression and liberation.

And, y’know, bi people do have reasons to avoid dating monosexual folks! There’s a longstanding trend of hostility toward bi, pan, and other m-spec people within the queer community and without. Monosexual queer people often invalidate their experiences, queerness, and validity in queer relationships; straight and cis people often trivialize, fetishize, or feel threatened by their orientations.

It’s not hurting anyone, and it’s not enforcing any systems of oppression/marginalization. Bi people as a group are not anyone else’s oppressor. If they feel more comfortable dating other bi folks, I think they should feel free to date other bi folks.

And sorry if what I’m saying sounds hostile toward you; it’s really not, and I do appreciate you valuing my opinion enough to ask! But I’m not bi, I see the bi community get a ton of shit it doesn’t deserve, and I am both not really an authority here & a little tired of people trying to find reasons to hate bi folks.

So this is my collection! The “-” means I have not seen this movie, but it’s on my to do list. Ive included a very short summary of the movies, just because I hate seeing these lists and googling every single ones. The summaries are bad but like, it gives you an idea. 

Bolded text means I highly recommend them. If you have others you’d like to add, please do so in the replies or reblog! I have seen many more than these, but many of them I don’t like, or have forgotten. If you want my personal opinion about a specific movie, send me an ask! 

Just to remind you, many of these movies have a lot of potential triggers like slurs, suicide, self harm, murder, all that good stuff. If you have any triggers please do research before watching. And lastly, I have no idea where to watch these. Some are on Netflix/viaplay etc, some are on pirate pages and some seems to have disappeared from the surface of the Earth.
