It concerns me that ace people have such a tough time with this.
Aces don’t deserve this shit.
Aces deserve better???? Wow???
Don’t know if I already reblogged but damn if I won’t do it regardless!

Always reblog. Ace/Aro peeps are valid, amazing, wonderful human beings and they 100,000,000% belong in LGBTQ+ Spaces!!!!!
Acephobes, arophobes, and exclusionists are just a vocal minority.
Not exactly a meme, but I’m reblogging this because fuck exclusionists.
Can somebody who understands what the hell Youtube is doing explain to me why this music video that literally just dropped is age restricted? Because the artist is gay? There’s a gay kiss in it? Holland is an openly gay singer in South Korea, the first openly gay idol there, he recently earned the number one spot in the annual Dazed 100 list, yet he doesn’t even have an agency, isn’t allowed to promote on music shows due to his sexuality, yet he’s one of the bravest people and made this song and MV to send an important message. The video showcases people of all races, a gay couple, a lesbian couple, an interracial couple, a drag queen, all kinds of representation and diversity, and he literally deserves nothing but the best but instead constantly faces discrimination, setbacks and censorship. Before debut, he sent his first song to different labels and two wanted to sign him until he told them he wanted to promote as an openly gay singer, which they wouldn’t allow. They wanted him to hide his sexuality, and he could have done that, but he refused to do so, choosing the harder path. Holland had to do everything by himself and he succeeded. He’s faced bullying for years and was outed when he was in school by a former friend who he confided in, after which he attempted suicide, but was saved by the words of a friend who told him that his existence isn’t wrong. He’s the epitome of a fighter. Recently, he lost a dear friend who was also LGBT+ to suicide and after that, he reached out to his fans on Twitter with encouraging words and kindness, offering them support and someone to confide in if they needed someone to listen to them. He knows how much it matters to have people validate you, care for you, be there for you. He often communicates that to his audience. He’s an incredible person. Why is his video Rated R?
Because stupid never runs out, this is rated R, and Holland has earned his bravery. But this song and this man and all of you are beautiful enough to make up for all the stupid.
So this is a problem. For those that don’t know, this November MA is putting a question up on whether the transgender nondiscrimination law that was passed in 2016 should be repealed.
If this law gets repealed, transgender residents will face discrimination in public places and will have to by law use the restroom based on their assigned sex at birth, not what they identify as.
For those in other states who might be thinking “Oh, this won’t affect me at all!”
It will.
If this law gets repealed, the opponents (the people who approve of the repeal) will try to eliminate transgender protection laws across the United States.
Keep in mind, this article was at the back of the Pride magazine I picked up at a movie theater. Not many people I’ve talked to seem to know that this is going to happen.
I needed to see this gifset today..

The price of existing and talking have recently been increased in these harsh economic times, also because everything hurts and nothing is beautiful. Except for my dogs.
Friend: So what type of doctor do you see for your illness?
