The reason that gay men are invested in rigid sex roles in the first place is because straight people have hammered it into our heads that one of us has to be the “woman” in the relationship so that we conform to their heterosexist ideas of what a relationship is.
It’s a disgusting, backwards idea which undermines the worth of submissive gay men and feeds into toxic masculinity in the gay community, so if straight women and girls could quit having arguments about which fictional character is a top or a bottom and being so goddamn convinced that they can just “tell” by the way a man looks or acts if he would like it up the ass, that would be fucking phenomenal.
I’m normally quiet on the front of the objectification of gay men in fandom, because it’s mostly harmless, and even does good things for women in terms of relating to and processing sexuality in a way that has a safe amount of distance from their real-life sexuality, but this is one area that just really rubs me the wrong way.
TL;DNR:
Listen up ladies: it’s not about who has stubble, it’s not about who’s taller, its not about who’s got thick thighs or a nice ass, it’s not about who wears his emotions on his sleeve, it’s not about whose dick is bigger or whose hair is longer.
If you live in central Florida, they are in need of blood donors due to the injured from the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Please google and call around to see what donation centers are open and make a donation today if you are able.
STRAIGHT ALLIES THIS MEANS YOU. Due to discriminatory practices, many in the lgbt+ community are unable to donate. THIS is one way you can show your support by helping us when we are forbidden from helping ourselves.
If you go to oneblood.org you can find places to donate. Please please please donate it you can. The need for blood and plasma is dire
what’s really fucked up because the attack was centered on lgbt+ people… and they’re asking for blood donations… and it’s illegal for lgbt+ people to donate blood… we can’t even help our own community
like imagine how that must feel to want to help your friends who were harmed and desperately need help but being legally barred from giving them the assistance they need. this level of irony is absolutely astounding
Currently they are lifting the ban and allowing everyone to donate regardless of sexuality. It is a really fucking stupid ban in the first place but dont let it think you can’t support your friends, if you are able please donate blood. They are in desperate need of O+, O-, AB plasma as well. Please help if you can.
what being bi means to me: sometimes i look at pictures of people of various genders and say “nice” but mostly i lie down on the floor a lot because Im tired. follow for more relatable content
Julie D’Aubigny was a 17th-century bisexual French opera singer and fencing master who killed or wounded at least ten men in life-or-death duels, performed nightly shows on the biggest and most highly-respected opera stage in the world, and once took the Holy Orders just so that she could sneak into a convent and shag a nun.
bisexual opera singer who killed ten men and snuck into a convent to shag a nun.
Just so y’all know, she later set that convent on fire so she and that nun could sneak out. And she seduced one of the men she’d dueled.
Mademoiselle de Maupin (Julie d’Aubigny) has always been one of my role models. I’m so glad this post exists so more people can learn about her. The more you know, the more there’s to love. Let’s see:
Around 1678 (she was like fourteen or fifteen), she was making a living in Marseilles by doing fencing exhibitions, dressed in male clothes, with her boyfriend who was on the run because he killed a guy in an illegal duel in Paris.
Then she joined an opera company and fell in love with a young woman, but the woman’s parents decided to put her in a convent to, you know, protect her honor and all that…
…so yeah, that’s when the whole “sneaking into a convent to help a nun sneak out and also putting the room on fire” thing happened.
She wounded a guy through the shoulder with a sword in a duel because he had made fun of her clothes. They became friends after she came back a few days later to ask if he was okay.
She beat a singer who was quite famous at the time because he was being a jerk to some women from her new opera troupe in Paris.
She kissed a young woman in front of everyone at a society ball, and that angered three noblemen who were there, so she beat them all in duel and fled to Brussels. Then she resumed her opera career there.
Then she returned to the Paris opera and had yet more problems with the law because she beat up her landlord.
She retired to a convent after the death of her love Madame la Marquise de Florensac, and died at only 33 years old.
The legend says that she never got arrested for all her deeds because king Louis XIV thought she was way too entertaining to deserve death. I have no idea if that’s true. But she did sing in Versailles for the Court, so there’s that.
