every time i see some queerphobic shit attached to one of my posts my need to post positivity in retaliation only gets stronger

so hey, here’s to all the non-mainstream sexualities, orientations, and genders. 

Here’s to the sexualities, orientations, and genders no one knows about

Here’s to the sexualities, orientations, and genders you made up

Here’s to the sexualities, orientations, and genders that you have to explain whenever you come out to someone

Here’s t all the sexualities, orientations, and genders who get laughed at, made fun of, and invalidated

Here’s to the sexualities, orientations, and genrds who aren’t mentioned in positivity posts

Here’s to the sexualities, orientations, and genders that face phobia both inside and outside the community 

Here’s to the sexualities that get sneered at and called “mogai bullshit” “special snowflakes” or “tumblrinas”

We’re way better than any of them, the people who deny our existence, our legitimacy, and our identities are sad children who can’t see outside their own worldview long enough to see our beauty. 

We enrich the community, even if we aren’t seen.

Listen up. There is literally an app that can help you avoid self harm and I don’t know why we aren’t talking about it.

Calm Harm can be tailored to your needs and will provide strategies to help you get past those crucial moments of wanting to harm.

It’s also totally FREE.

once again, it’s called CALM HARM

SIGNAL FUCKING BOOST

if you’re a baby gay and this is your first pride, watch your drinks! men are trash across all sexualities

I know boys don’t get these talks so let me clarify:

This doesn’t just mean alcohol

Don’t accept any open drinks

After you get your unopened drink, you keep it in your site

You have to go to the bathroom so you leave your drink on a table? That drink is now dead to you.

You’ve been holding your drink way low out of your eyesight and people are crowding? That drink is now suspect.

Stay safe, babies

Also: Rohypnol (a date rape drug) tastes VERY SALTY. If your drink is suddenly salty, STOP DRINKING IMMEDIATELY. 

Buddy system, y'all. If your friend is acting *way* drunker than they should, take them to an Urgent Care or ER. Date rape drugs can kill you.

always rb

rb for the advice

don’t rely on taste, ppl could dissolve all kinds of drugs into ur drink so don’t accept drinks from anyone unless u see it made by the bartender in front of u and keep ur drink in your sight, if u have to leave it then gulp it down or throw it away

Hey. Please take a moment to read, this is really important.

Four friends and I recently created an app that helps the LGBT+ community, teens with mental illness, teens in countries that censor internet content, and anyone else who needs support to find an anonymous, safe, and close community.

We have finished the beta for our app and plan to release it in June during Pride Month.

But, we need your help to make this app possible. You can sign up for it here.

If we don’t enough sign ups, then we won’t get the funding to keep our app safe for our users. The organization that wants to fund us needs validation that there are enough people in need of our app.

We need the funding to hire moderators that will go through reported posts and keep our content safe for the LGBT+ and mental health community.

We have just started collecting sign ups, but not nearly enough to make our app a reality.

Please, sign up for our app. No matter your sexuality, gender, preference, race, or anything of that matter.

We really need your help to make this possible. You can sign up here. It only takes an email, no name is necessary.

This app’s existence is dependent on your support. If we can’t get enough sign ups, then we will won’t be able to release our app and will have to abandon our hopes for this safe space online.

normalize polyamorous people having families and raising children together. destroy the idea that the nuclear family is the default, that it’s the best option for everyone, that it’s the only option that “counts” and that any other kind of family is automatically unhealthy and ‘bad’.

Non-binary Presentation Terms

Although words like butch, femme, masc, and fem have been applied to nonbinary folk since their inception, they don’t always meet the needs of non-binary people in comfortably describing the way we look. 

So here are a new additional set of options! We’ve considered two different “axes” here – one that relates most closely to the masc—fem scale, and one that considers “effort”, or a level of… drama or ostentation in a look. They can be combined as one pleases or used individually! 

Additionally, please apply them at will to yourself based on your own ideas about what it means to dress femininely or dramatically or androgynously etc. These words are not to be held hostage to cissexism or gender roles. These words also describe presentations that are inherently not binary – the only reason we’re using words like “masculine” and “feminine” to describe them at all is for ease of communication. They can and should describe particular looks, including those that people are inclined to gender, without actually gendering them. 

Note: These are not coined with the intention of being gender identities. They have nothing inherently to do with gender identity. You can be a demigirl stag, etc. (That said, if someone wants to use them as a gender because you feel it’s tied closely to your presentation, we’re certainly not stopping you.) 

Here they are!

Stag: A “masc”, “butch” or “tomcat” equivalent, describing a presentation one considers to be associated with ideas about masculinity, or a presentation others might consider masculine. 

Fox: Describing an androgynous, fluid, or combined presentation; can be applied to any presentation a person feels doesn’t resemble the other sides of the spectrum.  

Swan: A “femme/fem” or “doe” equivalent, describing a presentation one considers to be associated with ideas about femininity, or a presentation others might consider feminine. 

Sparrow: A casual, minimalist, muted or low-effort presentation. For example, for those folks who just roll through their closet and go. 

Crow: For presentations that are in-between, combined, or fluid along a scale of effort/ostentation. 

Peacock: For presentations that are high effort. Glam, dramatic, flashy, flamboyant, attention-drawing, etc. Dressed to the nines, so to speak! 

so anyway tag urself

(chart meant purely to be silly and fun, not to suggest actual criteria or associations. Disregard entirely if you resonate with the terms but not these goofy tidbits.)

Diamoric Terms (a better worded post, finally)

Hello! About several months back, I posted two seperate posts about Diamoric specific community terms. They weren’t exactly the best worded, so here’s a brand new post for people!

Sapphic communities have butch and fem, (with tomcat and doe being seen used by bi and pan ladies,) Achillean communities have bear and twink (and about a hundred other lovely terms,) so in the spirit of things, I coined peacock, crow, and kiwi.

But Hatch, what do those mean?

The Avian Spectrum, as we can call it, isn’t about body type or masc/fem presentation, its about style presentation. A peacock diamoric would be flashy (bright makeup and haircolors, colorful clothes, or anything flamboyant) and a kiwi diamoric would seem like a librarian (neutral earthy tones, simple and nice clothes, simple.) Crow is in the middle of that, and if you’re really wanting some in-the-middle terms, pigeon is between peacock and crow, and falcon is between crow and kiwi!

Examples:

Peacock!

Hey so it’s already well into ramadan but I just want to say:

If you are an LGBT muslim, you are not a sin. Allah (swt) does not hate you and is full of love and kindness

You deserve to be happy this ramadan and you are absolutely a true muslim.

Ramadan Mubarak to all my great sisters, brothers and siblings of islam.

non-muslims can reblog this, I’m absolutely tired of feeling like a sin this ramadan even though I know it’s absolutely not true.

let 👏 bisexual 👏 girls 👏 love 👏 boys

what

LET 👏 BISEXUAL 👏 GIRLS 👏 LOVE 👏 BOYS

who’s stopping them

Lesbians who say they’ll never date a girl that has touched a man. People that say bi girls will cheat because they’re bi. There’s so much biphobia not only with straight people, but in the gay community

my lesbian friends who told me they were “high-key disappointed” when i started dating a cishet boy. my ex girlfriend who asked me “wait weren’t you gay” and then when i explained i was bi went “um. ew lol”. the whole “gold star lesbian” bullshit. can we face the biphobia in the lgbt community instead of shoving it under the rug lol

SPREAD THE WORD

This user supports xenic identities and neopronouns.

This is a gentle reminder that if you identify as nonbinary, then you are. nonbinary. Someone not believing that you exist doesn’t mean that you don’t. Invalidating your gender is unkind and wrong; other people cannot decide for you who you are, because they are not you.

There are too many hateful people in the world. (As in, more than zero. But also… there are kind of a lot.) Please take care of yourselves. To all of my nonbinary friends, and to all of my nonbinary people-I-haven’t-gotten-to-befriend-yet: you are important and I care about you and I want you to be okay. Please know that you are just as nonbinary as you believe yourself to be, and that you deserve kindness.
