And btw, in case you were wondering- Yeah, Tumblr Catholics using Blaze to prosthelytize is fucking hilarious. As long as they’re not being actively malicious in the posts themselves. It’s like handing out JESUS SAVES pamphlets at the fucking leather bar. It’s great. Let them do it.
If someone tells me they’re queer I believe them. If someone tells me they’re straight I believe them. This isn’t that hard
What so like a cis het allo person can just call themselves queer now?
What problem, exactly, are you so concerned about? I don’t know if you’ve noticed but queerness is still very much marginalized, it’s not as “trendy” as people try to act, and straight people aren’t tripping over themselves to call themselves queer. And if you’re worried about being “tricked” by “infiltrators”, like, you know those people can just say that they’re gay? Like they can lie? They’re not going to try and “sabotage” queer spaces by saying “hey I don’t have any marginalized orientations or identities but I’m still totally queer”, they’d just say “hey I’m super gay, love people of the same gender”
What, concretely, are you worried about happening? What’s the worst thing that could happen due to inclusivity? Because the worst things that can happen due to gatekeeping are very well-known, and I’m much more scared of that
It’s less that it’s trendy and more like, I like having my queer-only spaces. Also queer is a bad word. All our words are bad words. They aren’t oppressed, and for a cishetallo to use a slur as their identity feels a little demeaning to me. Like I dont hate them of course but the A was never for Ally . It’s not queer to be normal
Interacting with them is cool and having them at pride I’m not opposed to but as a person who’s queer it does feel like they’re kinda dressing it up
Im gonna be honest Ive never seen people like that but like, I’m allowed to not like it
I’m not going to distrust and exclude people because of a problem you made up. If someone tells me they’re queer, I believe them
