Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “Rumors that this person had different gender attraction as well as same gender attraction were created to make them seem straight.”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “If you headcanon this character as bi instead of gay you’re forcing heterosexuality on them.”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: (calls past mixed gender relationships of a bi person “straight relationships”)
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “As much as we’d like to let bisexuals into our community, when the going gets tough they’ll probably align themselves with heteros to save their skins.”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “So you’re only half queer?”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: (assumes all bi women date men and all bi men date women)
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “Bisexuals will never know what it’s like to experience real bigotry the way we do.”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “I’d rather have a straight ally represent me than a bi person, at least good allies acknowledge their privilege.”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “You have a preference for different gender people? So you’re actually hetero then?”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: (assumes all bi people date straight people)
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “Why would you need ‘bi pride,’ gay pride already celebrates same gender attraction, isn’t that enough? Do you really need to celebrate your heterosexual side too?”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “You need to acknowlege your straight passing privilege.”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: (bi person breaks up with them) “So it turns out they were hetero all along.”
Bi Person: …
Bi Person: “Sometimes Monosex-”
Gay and Lesbian Monosexuals: “Excuse me? Did you just lump US in with STRAIGHT PEOPLE? Do you realize how much it hurts to be put in the same category as your OPPRESSOR? Why are you obsessed with proving that you’re QUEERER THAN US? If you don’t issue us an APOLOGY and then NEVER use that word again it will prove that bi people are the most HOMOPHOBIC people in the world!”

The Treatment of sex education in American public schools illustrates how a sexually repressive culture strives to render human sexuality invisible. Sex education remains a hot topic, with students receiving spotty information at best. Topics that are important to adolescents have been difficult to include within sex education programs. Despite high student interest and a growing recognition that comprehensive sex education might save lives, programs tend to shy away from discussing sexuality before marriage, the use of contraception, homosexuality, and other controversial topics. Ironically, the checkered pattern of research on human sexuality offers a good case for how heterosexism operates as a system of power that negatively affects straight and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) students alike. Because adolescents of all sexual orientations are in process of forming sexual identities, they are especially affected by heterosexism
Solidarity, on a global scale.
Intense photos put Mexico’s growing crisis into vivid perspective
Tens of thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of Mexico City on Thursday in one of the largest shows to date of public indignation over government corruption and the disappearance of 43 college students from the southern city of Iguala.
Demonstrators marched towards President Enrique Peña Nieto’s National Palace to protest his handling of the probable massacre. Hundreds of police in riot gear blocked access to the palace, where thousands of protesters gathered to demand justice for the students who disappeared on Sept. 26.
“I am here because I have children who are students and one day they could be No. 44”
Daily Show correspondent Michael Che tries to find a safe place to report from.
it sickens me how the media is tyring to make us feel symphaty for darren wilson “his life is practically over as he won’t be able to be a cop anymore” as if i fucking care about what happens to that disgusting murderer
for those of you participating in #stoptheparade tomorrow
- bundle up, hardcore – it’s gonna be cold as fuck and it’s a LONG walk. lots of layers.
- white ppl + nonblack poc – please do not overpower the black voices! you are there to support, NOT to make it about yourselves. remember, this is about black voices being heard. yelling shit like “ALL LIVES MATTER” detracts from the point and ruins the entire point of the protest in the first place. do not do anything violent to provoke the police because you will not be the ones getting hurt/killed for it.
- keep a spray bottle of milk in your bags in case you are maced, which is not unlikely! DO NOT USE WATER OR RUB AT YOUR EYES.
- be peaceful – the point is to make a statement, not get anybody else hurt
- BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE NYPD IS FUCKING BRUTAL and i dont want any of yall getting hurt
- be aware of your rights if you get detained
- FUCK. IT. UP.
who gives a fuck about the thanksgiving parade
i hope protesters flood the streets so that every american who turns their tv on tomorrow morning has to see a revolution and not a goddamn inflatable turkey
We should respect African-American Vernacular English as an important part of Black American culture.
