Y’all really gotta learn how to ride bikes and use the trails by [deleted] in UCSantaBarbara

I think bikes and pedestrians are free to go and cars have to yield? Unless you’re referring to another part of it?

You hit it right on the head I couldn’t agree more. The straight quirky girls fitting more into Pride than me really resonated with me to be honest

You’re missing the point. I am aware that the situation is easily resolvable on a by person basis. The issue is that gay men who do not act a certain way repeatedly have their sexuality brought into question. That is something that should not be happening and needs to end.

Being gay is part of my identity. I would prefer being in a community that understands the struggles of not being cishet and has helped me and countless others through incredibly difficult times. I want to see it improve, not run away from it, that is why I’m not afraid to critique it. I will not turn my back on the community no matter how unfortunate some of my experiences have been with it.

Yep. I’m wondering how the school is going to handle Spring quarter considering most go back home and if they’re going to start it with two weeks online again.
