Not trans, but as a bisexual, if you were able to get rid of any aspect of my sexuality I'd hate you forever. I suspect a similar response from trans* people when it comes to the stuff that's important to them.

I'd consider erasing my infrequent attraction to men just as a matter of personal convenience. :v: There was only one case where "dating a boy would be inconvenient to my carèer" has even come up in the evaluation, though.

I also find the concept of being attracted to only one gender puzzling at a gut level, so maybe it is actually an important part of my self image.

Also having it imposed or even actively pressured would be a very, very different animal.

Welp, I was assuming the violent homophobia of this attack would get elided.

I think that in the next few days and weeks it's important that we don't let the media whitewash this event into some random tragedy. The hatred this piece of poo poo felt for gay people is clear, and we can't let his religion absolve us of the responsibility of examining and fighting against the hatred of lgbt people that lots of people in our society have, whether they're Muslim, Christian, Atheist, whatever.

:glomp: to you and all the rest, whether QUILT, BAG, or allies of.

It's a lovely couple events but tolerance is winning out... which is part of what upsets these fuckers so much. The best way to spit on this Omar fellow's grave is to keep working for justice, unity, and love. :3:

This week has been pretty awful for me. I go to school in Orlando, and while I was lucky enough to be in Texas visiting family during the shooting, I still got to wake up to texts from friends telling me my community was being massacred. Discussion about it in the household ended up with a shouting argument between me and pretty much everyone else that ended with me outed and told by my grandfather that people gays and liberals aren't part of the family's values, and if I didn't hold their values I wasn't part of the family. Feels bad man :smith:

Dang. :(

One of my friends just defended her dissertation and went back to Turkey...She's not LGBT (as far as I know), but she is politically active and very liberal. gently caress. :sigh:

One of my dearest friends is a Turk who just got engaged to her girlfriend and, uh, works for the Turkish government.

Her next email to me will probably cause my computer to ignite.

Wait, Germany? That's one of those things you never check on, because you just assume they've got that poo poo on lock...

Huh, yeah, they have civil unions (or an equivalent), and you pretty much have to treat same-sex partners like spouses, but no straight up marriage.

That is the loving weirdest thing. I expect better of Europe.

Germans are stuck on technicalities? :ohdear:

No, the thing is if you allow gay marriage then all men will leave their wives to get gay married, turning them into single mothers...or something

Jesus, they're not even loving trying to pretend to have standards.

Ms Manning might have some room to appeal for a less garbage sentence based on "no, seriously, I thought based on their existing record at the time that these people were responsible journalists, but hey, turns out they're lunatic assholes and that's hardly my fault". :saddowns:

I used to think being gay or straight was a choice because I assumed everyone was attracted to both men and women by default.
#JustBiThings

I never thought that but I do still have the gut response that only being attracted to one gender (rather than to non-genital characteristics that may slant strongly towards one gender) is Kinda Weird. :v:

Is anyone who run in farther left circles seeing or hearing " What's happening in Chechnya is not real, it's just an excuse to drum up support for war with Russia and propagate Russiaphobia?" Because one of the organizers in my area is spreading it and boy am I mad right now. When I I get home from work i can post the full post.

Also throw in "36 states in the US currently do not protect LGBT under the law so...shut up".

I, for one, cannot believe Ramzan Kadyrov would be involved in atrocities.

Couldn't the military just say " Yep, we're gonna go do this but we need to figure out the right way and that's going to take at minimum 7 years"

If and when the brass decides to stone wall they'll be subtler about it but with a similar result.
