hi how are you

It's Pride month which is a month-long celebration of corporations changing their logos slightly and then receiving a bunch of weird threats or getting boycotted by dudes who film three hour videos in their cars

It's also when homosexuals and other types of people who can broadly be considered gay post threads on something awful, but there isn't one in gay old GBS for some reason

let's see some gbs pride. what's happening for pride where you are? how gay are you really


this is now the LGBSTQIA+ thread for the alphabet mafia to post about gay poo poo in

please do not post like an rear end in a top hat in this thread

if you want to talk about stuff relating to this thread DM me, unless it's about a probe which you got for posting like poo poo

that's cute. i hung around near the parade last year but it was too packed to really be lots of fun. the trans pride march in london is more fun (it's smaller, mainly)

Honest question: if I only consider myself to be about a Kinsey 1 in real life, do y'all actually want me marching somewhere in the parade or would I be helping more if I just handed out bottled water on the sidelines? Because aside from my ponytail I'm pretty sure I come across as straight in most situations.

you can literally do whatever the hell you want, pride month is about being gay and/or doing crimes

for me it was a couple years ago when i almost died of heart failure, and i realized that if i'm ever going to live as myself, i don't have forever to get around to it. but it's all good, i'm out now and they'll put the right name on my tombstone

i kind of want to get a pride flag but i'm not sure about it, for the same reasons as you. i promise tho, if i do, i will iron that motherfucker before i put it up. so tired of seeing pride flags all creased up like they just took them out of the package that day

the creases are what makes it a pride flag just leave em in

also :hfive: near death experience buddy, mine came when my skull kinda exploded and i saw my hospital notes and they had "gender dysphoria: unresolved" written as a pre-existing condition on them. really made me think

I wanna watch a lot of gay stuff.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert unironically rules and stars Hugo Weaving, it's a fun road trip movie about two drag queens and a trans woman driving across mid 90s Australia which is a bit like mid 50s anywhere else lol

Dredd (2012) is about an asexual dude locked inside a gangbang

still too scared to call myself trans though because what if i'm secretly faking it?!? slowly trying to get people to use they/them for me, which even with my supportive family is an uphill battle.

eh you're not taking anything from anyone if you wanna call yourself trans. also, if you want to call yourself trans, you're not faking it

hi how are you

for straight allies: pride is for everyone, you can buy pride merch and festoon yourself with rainbows and donate to gay charities and attend the pride parades and post in threads like this to say that you're glad the alphabet mafia is still running the place, it's all good.

there's some events and spaces that are *for* asexual people or trans people or gay people or whatever, and going there and taking up space is bad. usually any event that is like this will be pretty explicit about it, so if you can read you'll be cool

also some of us don't super appreciate people coming up to us in person to tell us how good an ally they are or otherwise centering themselves especially in things that are nominally for us. if you show up to something like a trans rights protest or are being cool at a party then you're already at maximum ally, you don't need to be formally blessed by a queer as well

Every year pride happens and I wonder if I should like, come out, as a bi man. But I'm in a cishet marriage and honestly who cares, so I don't. But then yesterday I was at a queer zine workshop so I made a coming out zine.

Which feels like an incredibly cliche thing to do, but hey. Happy pride.

Saw a quote like 20 years ago that stuck with me, went something like, "The trouble with being a gay kid is that you're born into a straight family." and while this isn't strictly speaking true 100% of the time it's broadly the case. I got super lucky, my parents kick rear end and love me very much and already didn't vote for the team that wants to put me & my loved ones into camps. Most of my friends were not so lucky; I still talk to some people who I met when I was first coming to grips with myself, and their parents sent them to gay camps and whatnot. One got prescribed a bunch of meds that he did not need which hosed him up in a way that continues to this day.

Being a teenager is hard enough without that poo poo, I hate that kids have to go through that.

i knew as a kid that it would be a horrible idea to come out to my parents and when i was an adult and did that it turned out to be a horrible idea. they make all the supportive noises, for other queer people, and vote for the good team (only mildly transphobic instead of rabidly transphobic). i'd rather they voted for monsters but were nice to me

I don't think so, at least not that I can recall. Maybe we should just keep this one running indefinitely? We got a couple weeks left of June, if nothing else.

but also a mod could just rename the thread at the end of the month and keep it going, either or
