  • My partner is very much in your boat. At home and any time we go out to “safe” spaces (like queer spaces) he is very open and absolutely enjoys himself. We got pedicures the other day and he had sparkly blue toenails for like a week and loved it.

    Unfortunately, he works in the auto industry and we live in a more conservative area, so whenever we’re not in a “safe” space, I can 100% see him reverting to a more “hardened” version of himself. I know it’s just self-preservation, but I can see (and he knows) how much happier he is when he doesn’t have to be that way. It really sucks and I wish I could help him out of his shell a bit more, but I totally understand the shitty circumstances.

    The patriarchy hurts every single one of us.















  • My school made me watch Napoleon Dynamite. I already hated it before we were forced to watch it, partially because it was just not the type of comedy I enjoyed and I also did not appreciate the portrayal of the Mexican character (as a Mexican person myself). I think I read a book through most of it.

    In grade 4 a teacher made us watch a ghost show (idk generic show about haunted castles in Scotland). I got scared and told my dad and she proceeded to tell the class that it was all my fault we couldn’t watch TV anymore. For years after watching that movie, I would BOLT up the stairs in my house because I was scared of hearing the thumping of the dead body being dragged across the stairs (like in the show). Fuck you, Ms Sarginson.

    Other movies I watched:

    • Gladiator
    • 300
    • the boy in the striped pyjamas
    • Schindler’s list
    • one flew over the cukoos nest (may or may not have instigated several sexual Danny Devito dreams throughout my life)
    • to kill a mockingbird


  • Again, please let me know what book you’re talking about, I’d love to judge it for myself.

    Rape?

    However, he would not listen to her; since he was stronger than she, he violated her and lay with her.

    • 2 Samuel 13:14

    Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please let me bring them out that you may ravish them and do to them whatever you wish. But do not commit such an act of folly against this man.” But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they raped her and abused her all night until morning, then let her go at the approach of dawn.

    • Judges 19:24-25

    Incest?

    Amnon was so frustrated because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her. But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man. He said to him, “O son of the king, why are you so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” Then Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”

    • 2 Samuel 13:2-13

    I mean, these readings are all acceptable for children by christian standards right?

    Tell me more about how it’s LGBT books that are the issue.
