#it's easy to forget how unqueer the world outside is when tumblr is such a rainbow place#last night I saw a post about how the drag show in Olympics opening was “perverted” and “insulting christianity” and just.#and this was from a so called queer channel I followed.#someone in the comments even used the word “queerbaiting” which is how you know these are children with no knowledge#yeah the demon of curiosity possessed me and I scrolled the comments#everyone where saying how these folk “ruin the image” and I was like. these people are the reason we have any rights nowadays#and there was this one person defending the show and the admins were going against them full force#meanwhile another guy said polyamoury “isn't normal” and no one other than the defender batted an eye#one of the admins even said “queer platforms aren't covering this so I guess gays are homophobic now”#they say that sarcastically unaware of the fact they just uttered#head in my hands#knew better than to argue with them when my sanity is endangered but gosh I wish they at least studied queer history a bit#as if “not normal” isn't the anthem of queerphobes used even against the “good gays”#wait until they learn about the frontliners of pride#I'm definitely leaving that channel now#sucks to know that some of us don't even have a place within the community sometimes#but at the same time I know who my community are and I'm grateful for them
