enjoying watching homophobes learn about history through video game news
lmaooo
I can’t think of a gayer society than ancient greece
Ancient Greece…followed Christianity…???
Ancient Greece, the civilization that had an island of Lesbians,
homoerotic heroes, had deities that engaged in homosexuality, and
existed 1000 years before Christianity
The Greeks were about Zeus entire DICK not Christianity
I’m sorry I’ve re blogged this like 3 times but this is the FUNNIEST fucking thing I’ve seen in AGES
ok today im going to make a post about one of my history faves: Gladys Bently
She was a musician during The Harlem Renaissance and very very very VERY openly a lesbian. She was known to flirt with women in the audience during her performances. She even claimed to have had a wife (although i cant find any details on that) and was quoted as saying “It
seems I was born different. At least, I always thought so….From the
time I can remember anything, even as I was toddling, I never wanted a
man to touch me.”
Unfortunately as far as I can tell none of her explicitly gay music was ever recorded
Sadly, She eventually had to claim she was no longer attracted to women for her own personal safety, although to quote this article“These desperate attempts to survive do not diminish her previous accomplishments.“
In a world where it feels like the only gay people in media are thin, flat chested, white people, I think we should all take a sec to remember this wonderful lesbian
Nice try but the first 3 are not gay. You Tumblr degenerate send your wishful thinking. seriously do you people have to ruin everything…
Deadpool is pansexual. Loki is bisexual and gender fluid. Wonder Woman is bisexual like all the Amazons. Educate yourself about comic canon before saying something ridiculous.
Do you have any reliable sources that can back this up?
You mean… besides the fucking comics?!
Wonder Woman was shown as canonically bisexual in the main DCU continuity in Wonder Woman: Year One (She was heavily implied to be numerous times before then but it was stated canonically in that comic that she had romantic and sexual relationships with multiple Amazons and left her girlfriend behind to journey to our world to stop the threat of Ares sons bringing chaos and war to the world)
She’s also canonically bisexual in Wonder Woman: Earth One where she straight up tells Steve Trevor that another Amazon is her lover and also in DC Comics Bombshells where she and Mera were girlfriends
Loki is canonically bisexual and generfluid…they have shifted from male to female multiple times stating that both are their real form and Odin, Loki’s father, referred to Loki as “Their child who is both male and female” in a published Marvel comics
And anyone who thinks Deadpool is straight has not only never read the comics but also apparently never been to see either movie either because I’m not sure what part of Deadpool grabbing Colossus’s chrome plated ass and dry humping him made them think “Yeah this is a Totally Straight Hetero Just Bros Being Bros”
Fake fans 🙄 Read the comics. all your faves are queer
Wait did people literally not get the memo on any of this?
Fake fanboys act like google is broken and literally the only way they can acquire information is by harassing queer ppl on tumblr with these inane questions.
It’s called sealioning. They don’t actually care about sources they just want to wear ‘the opposition’ out by drawing out the argument or debate as painstakingly as they can. It’s manipulation and cowardice.
That’s the most succinct definition of sealioning I’ve seen. I can finally apply it to the zillion debates I’ve had with -splainers and gatekeepers…
Also, deliberately ignoring and arguing against the obvious sexual orientations of Deadpool and Wonder Woman is laughable. Like, I barked out a laugh.
And, uh, Loki is a mythological deity. Literal stories for thousands of years show him as bisexual and genderfluid.
These assholes just want to whine about their world being not how they want.
Effing literally “Drop the T” is a radfem/TERF popular tag.
TERFs are right in lockstep with the right wing as long as trans lives suffer.
A direct quote from the article:
“Attendees were also told to wrap their transphobic rhetoric in the language of feminism, claiming gender identity is a concept offensive to women.”
reblogging because this is not just an abstract dotted line trans people and their allies are drawing for rhetoric’s sake, but very much a literal and intentional initiative on the part of the right. I’m sure that not every budding “gender-critical” radfem has any notion she’s being used as a pawn in this way, the opinions in question will feel organic, but that’s the downstream effect of a well crafted right-wing communications strategy: that’s how this works.
