#i'm always afraid to say this bc a lot of people would just be SO mad about it but#i just do not identity with the l g b t label anymore#besides the obvious reasons of it just not being inclusive and being used to exclude people#people are like 'this character is l g b t' or 'i'm l g b t' and it's like what all at once????#it aids in the exclusion of questioning or closeted people#like i would love to be able to say 'i'm queer' so people know i'm Some Level of Gay' but not have to disclose which#but the biggest reason is just. i feel safer with people who ID as queer#they're always more accepting and i don't feel like i'm walking on eggshells around them trying to figure out whether they'd hate me#if they learned what flavor of gay i am#of course there's always exceptions and some queer ppl can be shitty#and likewise Obviously the label l g b t isn't a Bad People Label im absolutely not saying that#i just need to explain how i feel At Home along queer people#the queer community is my community it's where i feel safe and at home#the l g b t community is hostile towards people like me#that's why whenever ppl get mad about the phrase 'the queer community' i'm like#it's for people who identity as queer. it's no different than saying the lesbian community or trans community#if you don't ID as queer then we're not Talking About You#anyway yeah before anyone comes in like ~it's only the internet communities the irl communities aren't as bad~#everyone From those internet communities are real people who are out in the wild and still hold those beliefs#and i never know when i could be talking to one. that's the issue#anyway sorry for ranting but#if you wanna fight i'm probs not gonna humor you lol#marshal gets harshal
