“You can’t block the gay” should be on a tshirt.

IM SORRY BUT THIS IS FUNNY

happy pride month you can’t block the gay

Listen I know I’ve made a thousand posts about this and I’ll make a thousand more but do you remember that time when Avatar: The Last Airbender had an episode where a bunch of earthbenders took over the Northern Air Temple and their leader created a bunch of steampunk inventions allowing them all to fly around:

And the reason he did all of this was so that his son, who was in a wheelchair, could get around just like everyone else:

And all throughout the episode, you saw the son going around in the wheelchair and even though the episode came out in 2005, his disability wasn’t used as inspiration porn or tragedy porn? In fact, though he was a main character in the episode, the plotline didn’t focus on his disability at all and other than the backstory and Sokka commenting on his glider chair, nobody ever brought it up but they still managed to help him when he needed it?

And not only did Tao help fight in this episode but he came back with a completely adapted tank in order to kick ass in the penultimate battle?

Do you remember this?

Because I still remember my eleven-year-old self sitting in my wheelchair, completely and utterly taken aback by this character in a wheelchair who was practically an airbender? My twenty-two-year-old self is still blown away by the episode. I still have the old wheelchair-glider toy.

(And of course, later on, Toph would come along and be an even better example of a disabled character. And years later, Korra would as well.)

Representation is important.

This exists in reality and I frickin love it

You are LGBT if..

You are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. That’s it. Aces aren’t LGBT.

I mean for one your forgetting a bit of that. Like the Q+.

The full acronym is LGBT.

I love me some ahistorical bullshit

The “full” acronym at one point was “GL”, after lesbians fought against male homosexuality being the “face” of the movement (i.e., the Alliance for Gay Artists (AGA), founded in 1982, was renamed the Alliance for Gay and Lesbian Artists shortly thereafter; and the Gay Activists Alliance never included “Lesbian” in their title).

The “full” acronym at another point was “LGB”, only after bisexual activists campaigned fiercely to be included, and is often still not even included in acronyms

The “full” acronym at yet another point was “LGBT”, only after trans activists campaigned fiercely to be included

Queer was added to the acronym after it was reclaimed and re-politicized by ACT UP off-shoot Queer Nation in the early 1990s. LGBTQ has been a thing since the 90s.

ONE Archives, which is the largest repository of LGBTQIA+ materials in the world and was founded by some of the principle members of the early (1950s-60s) homophile movement, which led to the gay rights movement post-Stonewall, uses the full acronym LGBTQ on their website and also freely uses the word “Queer” interchangeably.

As of 2014, NOW (National Organization for Women) agreed to switch to use of the full LGBTQIA acronym, and it likely isn’t the only large social rights organization to have done so

Many LGBTQ+ magazines use LGBTQ, including One (which has existed in some form since the 1950s) and The Advocate, use LGBTQ or LGBTQIA as the full acronym and regularly use “queer” as a phrase (and, in fact, some articles have welcomed asexual people and their narratives as part of the queer experience).

The acronym is constantly evolving. It’s not static. To claim otherwise is blatant ignorance. The modern-day LGBTQ+ community is a result of decades of political activism, social inclusion, and community outreach. It’s not a rigid structure that operates by a strict set of rules about who can and cannot join.

The full acronym is LGBT. Cishets don’t belong in the community. Aces aren’t inherently lgbt. We don’t want our oppressors in our community.

“we don’t want our oppressors in our community” 

as if trans people don’t already have to deal with their oppressors (cis people) being in their community

as if LGBTQIA+ people of color don’t have to deal with LGBTQIA+ white people in the community

as if LBTQIA+ women don’t have to deal with GBTQIA+ men in the community

as if disabled LGBTQIA+ people don’t have to deal with able-bodied LGBTQIA+ people in the community

the LGBTQIA+ community is huge and consists of people with multiply-overlapping identities and privileges. we all (unless you’re a cis, able-bodied, wealthy, white gay man) have to deal with a member of our oppressing class in the LGBTQIA+ community

ETA: “Straightness” is a position of power. Ace people, even if they are in heterosexual relationships, do not necessarily perform “straightness” in ways that are acceptable to the Straight class. 

Reblogging because osirisjones is completely hitting the nail on the head.

Asexuals belong in this community. No fucking exceptions.

Guys. This is what a national chain store trolling Trump looks like. A bunch of dystopian novels with a sign (I presume) meant for the travel section.
