...and I AM preparing for my Italian orals <333
Like every other event in our community, this march has brought up reactions from all sides. No, I don't mean left-vs-right, I'm talking about the internal spats.
What's a girl to do? You can't so much as say what you're FOR without sparking a fierce debate.
If you're pro marriage, that means you don't care about non-monogamists
If you're against DADT you're not thinking about the Trans-community
And heaven forbid you fight for plain, simple equality; We're not prepared enough, we're too prepared, we've haven't got enough support, we CAN'T get enough support, we shouldn't worry about support. Sometimes it's amazing we've gotten anywhere at all.
I think the only thing I have yet to hear is what they would rather we do instead. There's so much hostility in our community towards any kind of action. We've had so many years in the closet and so much time spent moving by inches; a hate-crimes law here, an adoption case there, and always the question of which rights are important.
Which rights would you give up? Clearly you'd rather not be beaten to death in the street than be able to marry, so lets work for that. Would you rather be able to adopt your partner's child or visit hir in the hospital? Immigration or employment? We're so used to these discussions we've forgotten that this is not how it should be. NO one should be asked to make these choices, no one should be asked to accept their civil rights in baby-steps
Lately, the president and the media have told us we need to wait, to be patient. We're told that now just isn't the right time. I'm hard pressed to think when this "right time" will be. When, in history, has a change like this happened at the "right time". When does congress have an empty plate, look up and say "Right then, on to equality."
If we keep waiting for the "right time," if we let them push our rights to the back seat, who can say how many more years we will be waiting. As well meaning as the people who perpetuate this theory may be, we cannot afford to keep quiet, to sit back and play Mr. Nice gay. We are human beings, we are citizens and we deserve the basic right to live without fear of discrimination.
This isn't about "winning." This fight won't be won with a march. This march is a statement. Not just to congress, not just to the president, but to anyone who opens a paper or turns on their news (Fox or otherwise)
We are here, we are equal and we are TIRED of waiting.
Right
Rant over.
Hope I didn't scare anyone off, I'm really just a mild mannered California girl. ^^''
Hey there straight roommate
why so passive aggressive ?
I know I may dress real butchy
And I'm not hygiene obsessive
Yes it's true
I won't be cleaning after you
I swear it's true
Hey there straight roommate
Boy you sure do have a boyfriend
Just stop leaving out your condoms
I don't really wanna know
That's TMI
I don't care who it is you fuck
Please pack it up
You're sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
You're heterosexual
Hey there straight roommate
I know you party until 4
and I would like to take a bath
but some guy's puking on the floor
His name is Lars
Built just like he's made of lard
I've barred my door
Hey there straight roommate
I know you like your tresemme
But every time you go and do your hair
It takes the air away
And smells like shit
Why must you always bathe in it?
Oh god my head
You're sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
You're heterosexual
I know to you gay sex seems weird
But at least you've never had a beard
Or dealt with bashers, loonies and the like
I know you think I'm after you
But if you want to know the truth
You're really really really not my type
Dear roommate I can promise you
The last thing that I want to do
Is see you anywhere approaching nude
I know, I'm rude.
Hey there straight roommate
Just sit tight and give me space
Two more terms and we'll be out of here
And I'll be far away in my own place
Living with a girl who I fancy
Who really sorta fancies me
Hey there straight roommate, leave me be
You're bugging me
You're sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
sooo heterosexual
You're heterosexual
I regret nothing.
THERE ARE RUMORS ON TEH INTERWEBS ABOUT SARAH PALIN!
100% CONFIRMED RUMORS!
I hope her lawyer sends ME a three page letter, if SP could sign it herself that'd be great, I'd totally sell it off on ebay.
"BN psycho legal letter from ex-political figure also...slight water damage from tears of laughter"
Also, Sarah, if you'd like someone else to write ineffectual letters to bloggers for large sums of money paid hourly, please consider me. I lurk on many fanfic-Mock coms and am well trained in multiple styles of Whine, Cry and Flounce.
My personal New!Theory? She's managed to get on the bad side of a certain Time Lord what with her slaughter of innocent <Aliens> meese...
Don't you think she looks tired?
Random facts of life that piss me off #506: I have to wade through people's birth vids (I get that you want to keep your hubby occupied, but why not hand him a sucker or some M&Ms instead of the camera? OR AT LEAST DON'T POST IT EWEWEWEW*) and gory, factually deficient anti-choice vids (SRSLY! WHY ARE THERE NO GOOD VIDEOS FOR THE DIXIECHICKS!!CAPSLOCKRAGE!!!**) and yet Youtube regularly deletes the explicite lesbian scenes from Better than Chocolate, Fingersmith and But I'm a Cheerleader.
WTF, youtube? They don't even get NAKKIDS in Fingersmith. Frankly, I'd rather watch two adults in a artsy blink and you'll miss it sex scene than any of that crap. (The scene in question starts at about 4:40, enjoy it while it's still up. There's an Italian subbed version that hasn't been reported yet either)
WOW, I'm sooooo shocked (Actually, I'm kinda blushy and romantic cause it reminds me of my first time. ^///^). Not to mention the grooooosss het stuff that's on there, much of it verges or crosses over into porn. I have no problem with heterosexual relations (They do squick me out) but ummmmmmm... equal treatment much?
I know it's not Marriage, I know it's not a Hatecrimes law, but seeing this stuff happen on the web when I'm having my happy reality escaping funtiems is just one more reminder that the way I am is considered a "deviation" or even "Taboo" by a number of people (Most of whom seem to be ruling the world). It brings me down, I have to deal with enough of these sorts of double standards in real life. There's nothing like seeing endless vids and discussions of Bullock and Entface Cullen chewing eachothers babies out of eachothers bellies...and then finding so many nice yuri vids "Mature Content"d cause of a single kiss.
SOOOO, to try to make myself feel better, here are things that have been significantly de-suckiefied by "TEH GHEY"
Avril's "Girlfriend"
Alright, as conventionally portrayed, I can't STAND this song. It's sexist, it's shallow...it's...well...Avril.
Ew, am I right? Makes you wanna take a shower and watch something Girl Powah affirming like the Power Puff Girls.
Add a twist of lesbian subtext, a splash of good editing and vidmaking
Well, it's still not a brilliant song... but c'mon, it's Dyke Drama™ and it's a good spoof on what happens when you go after a player (...she gets distracted by the next bit of Shinny, Shane style). Plus... the dorky girl in this one is cute! Though I admit I have a thing for girls in glasses. :)
I dunno.
It's a stereotype too, but it's less offensive, less sexist and much funnier. (and way hotter)
Sailor Moon.
Speaking of Girl Powah...
Alright, I admit it, I'm a Moonhead. Made my mum help be do Sailor Jupiter for halloween one year ^^''' (THANKS MUM!!!!)
I don't remember much of my first time through the eps around 92 that clearly... but I watched the dub, and I was absolutely clear on the fact that Michiru and Haruka (or Micheal and Amara) were lovers. C'mon. It's obvious just the way they carry themselves (And...yknow...live together.) I had Gaydar even back then, lol
Now, getting back into the fandom recently, I noticed this controversy:
lol? WUT? The Dub said they were cousins. >< I'm watching the subs this time through and there's so much more explicite flirting. They're now my favorite pair ever.
So cute, am I right?
I'm pretty much fashion blind and I want those dresses.
*cuddle* if I did that to my cousin she'd thwack me...watch the hands, Haruka XP
Oh, come on, I wasn't even looking for subtexty images, these were the first few I found. And is it really subtext anymore if the characters talk about going to bed together and their creator confirms that they're about as straight as a bendystraw?
If a 8 or 9 year old girl who doesn't realize that she's allowed to like girls sees these two and knows and just automatically accepts that they're gay, how can a bunch of grownups in the Dubbing business have such a hard time of it? Hopefully THAT generation won't be around for two much longer.
I have this trading card in my collection somewhere...
Who doesn't want a relationship like that? ^^
Finally, in closing, I give you Stephen Colbert eating a banana.You're welcome.
...does anyone find it suspicious that they're not doing an autopsy?
...my shoes. :D Complete with their own theme song.
No.
I hope you have a good time, I hope the worst thing that happens is that your flowers get lost in the post (OR your lover gets you a horrible flesh eating demonsquid)... and if that does happen, PLEASE don't scream at the receptionist, it's just not appealing.
Happy Vday. Spend it with someone you...
...you know
I love the human race
| Question for gay guys: Have you ever had a girlfriend or wife and cheated on her with another guy? |
|
| I have been lusting over another man but im married what do i do? |
Now, if only we could get these two together they would solve all their problems.
