India finally legalises homosexuality and I want to be out in the streets screaming for all the people out there whose love had its own legal struggle. ❤️ i have never felt so happy for anyone else before.
The second largest country in the world just decriminalized homosexuality. The Supreme Court of india struck away a colonial era ban on gay sex. “History owes an apology to LGBT persons for ostracisation and discrimination; It is difficult to right a wrong by history. But we can set the course for the future.” This is such a victory for the lgbtq+ community within India and all over the world. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Amandla Stenberg, Lesbian:“I’m grateful for how being gay has afforded me this ability to experience & understand love and sex, and therefore life, in an expansive and infinite way. The continual process of unlearning heteronormativity and internalized homophobia can be difficult, but one of the biggest blessings lies in the magic that comes from having to understand love outside the confines of learned heterosexual roles. Once I was able to rid myself of those parameters, I found myself in a deep well of unbounded and untouchable love free from the dominion of patriarchy. If I had more representation of black gay women growing up, I probably would’ve come to conclusions around my sexuality much earlier because I would’ve had more of a conception of what was possible and OK. Having more representations of black gay women now and seeing myself reflected in them has been a huge aid in seeing myself as whole, complete, and normal.”
Lena Waithe, Lesbian: “Tonight this cape is not imaginary, it’s rainbow-colored. And we got the black and brown stripes, you know. I’m reppin’ my community, and I want everybody to know that you can be whoever you are and be completely proud, so wear the damn cape.”
Janelle Monae, Pansexual: “Being a queer black woman in America, someone who has been in relationships with men and women I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker.”
Tessa Thompson,Bisexual: “In my family you can be anything you want to be. I’m attracted to men and also to women. If I bring a woman home, or a man, we don’t even have to have the discussion. I want everyone else to have that freedom and support that I have from my loved ones.”
there really is no way to describe that Gay Sadness™ when you hear your family being homo/transphobic
it’s such a fucking wakeup call on how i am in a bubble and my own imaginary world where its okay and normal to be gay, and then reality hits you in the face
Full offense but y’all need to stop fetishizing lgbt ppl. Lesbians arent straight men’s entertainment and sexual fantasies. Gay men aren’t your “YAOI GAYBIES xD” and you aren’t “SINNING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW” Bi people aren’t here so you can have a threesome. Trans men aren’t “uwu soft boys so pure” and trans women aren’t “big muscle wife could kill me”.
You aren’t less homophobic for fetishizing gay ships. You aren’t less transphobic for fetishizing trans people.
Stop.
Ok but yaoi was a big thing before lgbt people started coming into the spotlight. (I’m just trying to defend yaoi. Don’t mind me)
…. did you just say that “yaoi” has been around longer than gay people
