im going to complain for a sec about something arbitrary but as expected ppl rbing the news abt greece legalising gay marriage and adoption are being so unfunny abt it like "haha werent they always gay since ancient times" or "nice to see greece embracing tradition" straight up saw multiple people make references to aphrodite or the greek gods like can u shut up 😭 its not even funny you dont know anything abt this country

the reason it pisses me off so much is that it's so indicative of how people view Greece as only its history and this type of humour feels so condescending because it disregards the fact that on a personal and cultural level the life of a queer person in greece is often so lonely and isolating and disheartening and this kind of news in this country is a moment where can hope for things to get better, and instead of celebrating with us as we are now or commiserating with those who have suffered so much to get to this point, people are focusing once again on our past and our history, as if that matters right now.

a post i saw on here a while back put it really beautifully, saying how "the people always come second place to our history", and i know this is a minor thing to get upset about but something that feels like such a big deal then feels belittled by people making jokes about how Greece has "finally caught up" or has "always been gay anyway". not only you are you undermining the way queer people have suffered under the patriarchal hypermasculine heteronormative conservative views of the majority of our compatriots, you also just aren't funny.
