This is what I’m saying that allos are well aware sexual feelings doesn’t need sexual attraction.

You’re not sexually attracted to your hand when you’re jerkin it 3am so you can get yourself to sleep, it’s not that complicated.

LGBTQ+ Flags: Symbols Of Identity And Unity

The colourful flags around us are not just ordinary flags; they are called LGBTQ flags, and they are super special! LGBTQ flags are like symbols that represent people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or any other gender or sexual identity. When someone says, “LGBT flag” or “flag LGBTQ,” they are talking about these amazing flags that show support and love for everyone, no matter who they are or who they love.

Now, let us talk about what makes these flags so awesome! First off, there is not just one LGBTQ flag, but many! Each flag has its own unique colors and meanings, but they all share one important thing: they are all about celebrating diversity and unity. When you see a LGBTQ flag, it is like a big hug saying, “You’re amazing just the way you are!”

So, next time you see a flag LGBTQ waving in the breeze, remember how special it is. It is not just a piece of fabric; it is a symbol of identity and unity for people all around the world. And that is something worth celebrating!

“It's also about the fact that H doing denials would have a bigger impact on us larries than L doing them.”

May I ask you abou this, why you think H doing larry denials would have a bigger impact on us?

Also, reading this discussion makes me wonder if H realizes how much harder work and being trapped in the closet is for Louis and his natural mannerism. Like if he realizes this and kind of appreciates that Louis is doing the hardest work and carrying the biggest baggage on his back that H would ever will?

Hi, anon!

Of course Harry knows how much harder Louis has it, the burden he bears for the both of them, and how much easier almost everything is for H due to label, industry and fan support. I think the freedom H has fought for to be himself, is also in part for Louis. He does this for the both of them, since he knows Louis can't. He writes about Louis, he sings about Louis, he wears blue and green, and he's hopelessly devoted to "Lou".

I think H doing denials would have a bigger impact on us larries, since H has a history of not commenting on rumours. He's also regarded as someone kind, tolerant and lgbtai+ supportive. So H denying larry would seem unnecessarily harsh for a fan theory among a small group of his fans. Since H never speaks out on anything, fans would take a denial very seriously. It would lead to a massive amount of hate towards us larries, and H would have lost loads of his queer supporters. A denial wouldn't end well for us larries, but it also wouldn't end well for H.

H doesn’t do denials because he simply can't and won't do it convincingly, but also because it would negatively impact his reputation and brand, and lose him fans that Sony wants and needs.

What's frustrating about being a supporter of a mlm ship is the immediate presumption of the shippers' identity as a "cis heterosexual woman" who fetishsizes homosexuality (not that that problem doesn't exist, but that's not what this post is for).

Our identities also include:

Cis gay man

Gay/bi/pan trans/woman/man/enby

Cis/trans polyamorous gay/bi/pan woman/man/enby

Cis/trans gay/bi/panromantic asexual woman/man/enby

On and on, the intersections within the LGBTAI+ community are infinite.

Yet our mainstream media shies away from canonizing mlm relationships on screen, by whatever arbitrary measure deemed correct by the heteronormative power structure, which means bi or pansexuality and gender fluidity can be masked beneath an optically cis heterosexual relationship that is spoken of as queer only in dialogue.

I am a queer person. The argument I most often see is that being in a relationship with someone of the opposite gender doesn't negate a person's bi or pansexuality. This is ABSOLUTELY TRUE in real life. I'm in such a partnership, and here's the thing ...

When I share my queer identity with others and they see my partner of 15 years, the question I get asked is:

"How can you still be ×-sexual if you're in a heterosexual relationship?"

It is as though, by committing to someone who presents as the opposite gender, my lived experience (all the people I loved deeply in the past; the pain of coming out not once, not twice, but three times; the pain of permanently cutting off people in my life) was completely erased. My partner and I are optically viewed as "straight" despite how we actually define our individual genders and sexuality. Despite continuing to feel queer attraction. Despite continuing to remember previous queer loves with incredible fondness. Despite still celebrating with friends in the community and proudly bearing my flags.

This is why I truly believe there needs to be a greater push for more same-sex representation ON SCREEN in the MAINSTREAM. We cannot have authentic stories of the queer experience without it. It is a stepping stone to representing all the other identities that are swept under the rug. There is a big difference between knowing who you are in real life and interpreting what big money media is doing with your identity for the sake of pleasing the heteronormative masses and offering only subtext for the queer community in order to get the highest amount of views. Subtext, which by the way, is immediately dismissed as reading too deeply into it!

Well, guess what? Being queer inherently means reading deeply into subtext. This has been our language for decades. I should know, I'm OLD. Picking up subtle cues was and is part of queer courtship in real life because you absolutely could not out yourself in public. In more than half of the U.S. that is STILL the case!

I have a very close cis straight friend who thought Korrasami came out of nowhere. I had to sit them down and explain all the little cues, including the infamous hairpin in Asami's lips close-up. They remarked, "Wow, that's a lot of work. Is that how it worked when you tried to meet someone in public?"

YES! And it's 2023 coming on 2024, and we still have to go through this extra bullshit cis heterosexual people take for granted! If there is even a hint of queer mlm romance, you know what happens? They either get separated or killed or BOTH!

They are separating us and killing us on screen because we can only exist in subtext and tragedy. And then, when we dare to hope another ship might make it, that finally, we will have our moment in the sun, we are told:

"You weren't baited. Nothing was confirmed. What did you expect? They're just friends. You looked too deeply into it and did this to yourself. You are gross and keep migrating from one gay ship to another, you homosexual fetishsizing misogynistic pervert."

These people take intersectional social justice language and weaponize it against us. They moralize us on our own identities without even knowing who we are or what we've been through. They think we're desperate and delusional for the audacity of hoping we might see a happy ending that reflects us in the mainstream.

I am so, so tired.

This is LITERALLY the whole OFMD fandom with Izzy: we have a WHOLE ASS GAY POC DIVERSE CREW and all the people still obsessed over the (probably) only hetero white character, going as far as painting him as "queer coded" (in a show where everyone is openly gay???), "repressed gay in the closet coded", "indigenous coded" (... what), "wife coded", "woman coded". Instead of you know, loving the actual indigenous, poc, lgbtai+ rep in the show. People were literally "they killed the queer coded character and he didn't end up with ed so it's queer baiting and bury your gays". Like, IT'S STILL A THING. People are still saying it's bury your gays. The whole crew is gay but the only (very probable) hetero dude dies and suddenly it's a tragedy 💀

Character: is a white man. That’s it.

Fandom: how dare you dislike this femme-coded female-coded gay-coded disabled-coded mentally ill-coded icon

Bisexual Pride Day 2024: What Is It, How To Celebrate?

Bisexual Pride Day, also known as Celebrate Bisexuality Day or Bi Pride Day, is an annual celebration dedicated to honoring and acknowledging individuals who identify as bisexual. This special day is filled with joy, acceptance, and recognition of the diverse experiences within the bisexual community.

Bisexual pride is all about embracing the love for both boys and girls. The bisexual flag, a vibrant symbol of this pride, features three stripes: pink, purple, and blue. Pink represents attraction to the same gender, blue signifies attraction to different genders, and purple symbolizes attraction to both. Celebrating bisexuality is crucial for making bisexual individuals feel accepted and valued for who they are. After all, love is love, no matter who it’s with!

On Bisexual Pride Day, people around the world unite to show support and celebrate bisexuality. This day serves as a powerful reminder to embrace one’s identity and to promote understanding and acceptance of bisexuality within society. It’s a day to acknowledge the unique challenges bisexual individuals face and to celebrate their contributions to the broader LGBTQ+ community.

By coming together to celebrate Bisexual Pride Day, we not only honor the bisexual community but also foster a more inclusive and accepting world for everyone. TO KNOW MORE VISIT: https://giftor.in/bisexual-pride-day/

Let’s all remember what the A in LGBTAI is for.

INSANE TAGS. love the idea that the number 1 criteria of whether or not someone is lgbt is if they say the word faggot. love the idea that pushing aros out of our own community isn't arophobic. love an alloromantic person telling us we can't identify arophobia. absolutely wild all around

‘My favourites among Louis' sisters have always been Georgia and Fizzy. I think that says enough tbh’

What makes them your favorites? I don’t know anything about Fizzy, and I’m assuming Georgia is a half or stepsister?

You mentioned nepotism, what are your feelings on Anne and Gemma?

Good morning, anons!

Yes, Georgia is his half-sister on his biological dad's side. All his sisters and brother are half-siblings. Georgia is between Lottie and Fizzy in age. Georgia used to be active on both tumblr and twitter and there was a time where she was the only one who didn’t shit on larries or perpetuated the stunts. I think Georgia is more like Louis personality wise than his other half-siblings. She has an actual personality, has clear interests and is indie and cool in a way Louis will never be. She was pro lgbtai+ and supported gay marriage when the other siblings seemed to support Louis in his queer rejectals. She's cool.

Fizzy was my favourite among the Tomlinsons because she was intelligent, bright, reflected and informed about social issues. She was the only one defending us larries, she called out the Clar*s for lying and stealing pics and the only one not liking E's ass. She swore, she was loud, interacted with fans, and was just all around a great woman. She always had good takes. So different in comparison to her sisters. She spoke about the destigmatisation of mental health issues. How she was trying to quit smoking and that her favourite subject at school was philosophy. Like can you imagine any of the other sisters hosting discussions like this and being so frank about subjects like this?

About Gemma. My feelings are the same as the Tomlinson sisters. They're all taking advantage of the platform they've been given just by being the sister of a famous person. They're using their platform to get attention and influence, so they're working as influencers. I don't know why the sibling of a famous person's thoughts and views about this and that should matter more than a random person on the street's thoughts and views...

The difference between Gemma and the Tomlinsons sisters is that Gemma is legitimising her bad takes by claiming that her influencer book was written with the help of experts on the field. She's also discussing subjects she clearly has no idea about and is doing it in a very moralising way, which is very off putting to me.

I just don't understand why they don't have any aspirations and goals in life, besides taking advantage of their brother's fame to make money of their own. No wish for self-development by getting an education? No wish for self-realisation by earning their place? No wish to contribute to society by doing honest work in an honest job? No wish earning their privilege and not relying on their relation to their brother. They'd rather help their brother in lying and gaslighting their fans and perpetuating false narratives, because it's beneficial to them. No pride, no shame.

"I'm ace so sex is :(", means:

"Being asexual makes sex and sexual relationships complicated, and is not the same experience as allos"

NOT

"Asexuality = never sex"

Asexuality is lack of attraction and in This House we don't disrespect a-specs.
