due to not wanting to. I will not be
The entire Enterprise crew: What are you doing here Q literally nobody here likes you
Q:
20% is better than 0%.
Brushing your teeth at least once every day is better than none at all.
A few hours of sleep is better than none.
A few minutes outside for fresh air is better than none.
Writing a few paragraphs of the essay today is better than procrastinating till later.
Doing something is better than nothing (of course there is exception for some cases).
Do things at a pace which makes you comfortable whilst allowing you to make progress.
You can do this!
when your cishet relative talks about your “future husband”
Does everyone know that you can’t do anything about how you’re family thinks? The holidays are the worst for bringing all of this stuff into the open. It’s not because you’re parents are cis. It’s because they’re a different generation. Your children will feel the same regardless of how progressive you are. If you don’t like it, leave. You aren’t a hostage.
when a cishet comments on your post
do gays only ever talk about being gay?? like in my family no one asks about “future husbands” or “the gays” or any specifically heteronormative thing. we talk about everyday life and things people do: jobs, family, friends, kids. none of these things are exclusive to just straight people. you make it seem like people just go arounds asking about your sex life when honestly no one fucking cares.
oh and if you havent come out to your family yet, why is it wrong to ask if you have a “boyfriend” or whatever? they are taking an interest in your life and want you to be happy but you make it seem like a bad thing but you are the one who hasnt informed them of what makes you happy.
when the cishets keep leaving their stupid unnecessary comments on your posts
“everyday life and things people do: jobs, family, friends, kids”
this just in, the gays don’t experience everyday life
also “you are the one who hasnt informed them of what makes you happy”
yikes, thanks for guilt-tripping me like its my fault that i havent come out to my homophobic parents and family yet
Well, to be fair, that IS on you. Like your parents have probably told you at some point, they can’t read your minds.
People are actually more accepting of homosexuality as a whole in this day and age than you might think. If you told them, they may or may not like it, but that doesn’t mean they’ll stop loving and supporting you.
You just gotta take that chance.
when the cishets think they know more about homophobia than you do
Oh, the Straights™
Being in a room with straight people talking about straight things is so exhausting.
What the hell are ‘straight things’?
Marriages and mortgages and families and opposite sex attraction talk and talking about sex openly without being made to feel like you are making people uncomfortable and hearing straight people talk about how hard dating is for them and hearing straight people talk about how they are such victims and their lives are shit when what this really means is they aren’t married at age 22 and sexist crap that drives me crazy like traditional weddings and how great religion is and how the world is so lovely and kind and great because people don’t know what it’s like to be a minority and how straight people are like “this person is so lovely” when you know they are homophobic or listening to straight people say things are “gay” or talk about people who dress unconventionally (ie. men who wear dresses) as being weird or doing impressions of gay people or asking “why don’t you have a boyfriend?” judgementally as if it is just that easy or getting annoyed at you when you complain about how hard your life is because it’s easy for them cause they are straight and wouldn’t know the first thing about it or having to come out to people all the time cause they just assume you’re straight and getting weird looks like “tmi” or “you don’t look gay” or “I don’t care what you do in the bedroom” or having to hear straight people talk about really cute straight couples or really great romantic films or books about straight people or just watching people live super conventional lives and do really sexist old fashioned things just because no one is brave enough to question or think about anything… and worst of all knowing that if you were to say or talk about anything gay everyone would get uncomfortable and not join in on the conversation and wish you had said nothing… and then people will be like “you hardly said anything”, “you’re so quiet”, “you don’t talk much”, “are you shy”, “you’re boring”.
No bitch I’m gay and I don’t relate to nor am I really interested in any of the shit that you have been yelling to my face for the last hour.
I live for the number of straight people that don’t understand why this was written in this way.
It’s exhausting reading this right? Well that’s what’s it’s like for us gay people to have to listen to straight people’s opinions on things over and over and over
