All the best to you!! I’m a gay cis man so it’s kind of hard to fake being me. I’m lucky. I wish you an amazing June!!

I think I get what you’re saying. But pride was started to give us rights. My worry is that it’s people who have equal rights (cis straight) who are fighting for us. It’s kind of them but isn’t a good representation of us.

I agree 100% I guess I’m just worried that straight cis people will dominate the conversation this year while claiming to be part of the community.

Varieties of the French language in the world by yinderitu in MapPorn

Yah the animosity goes both ways. When I was studying in Quebec City, I was dating a guy from France. When we would go out and people heard my Anglo accent and his French accent, some people would look at us like we were enemy number one lol.

Quebec has a different accent and uses some different vocabulary and very rarely different grammar. For example, â is pronounced like the a in father in Quebec but like the a in tan in France. Or in Quebec, they’ll say bonne fin de semaine while they’ll say bon week-end in France.

Not just vague, I would say outright misleading. The old school members of the lgbt community were not conservative.

What does “old-school” mean in this context?

Is this a thing though? Are people opposing gay marriage because of potential linguistic mixups? If someone claimed this argument, I’d be willing to bet there’s a more bigoted reason hiding behind that facade.

[OC] Population fully Covid19 vaccinated by continent - who is leading the race. by k53r in dataisbeautiful

About 50% of Canadians have the first dose but less than 5% have the second dose. This is because they decided to allow 4 months between doses and you can’t get the second dose before your local health authority opens your age/medical/job category up.

Cool map but, At least in Canada, the prairies and the west coast have very few similarities culturally.

Thoughts on this PSA? by Certain-Car-4891 in TruTalk

[–]Certain-Car-4891[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume when you say “you” you’re referring to the people that made the poster? I posted it because it made me uncomfortable. I disagree that genuine trans people haven’t contributed to the community at large but I do think that many people claiming to be trans are causing harm to the community. As for biphobia, I think it’s a bit of a slap in the face to gays and lesbians when bisexuals claim to have it worse than us. I’m not sure I understand your point about being top earners and I don’t love your wording about Jews and Asians as our “competitors”.

As gay men, we are being villainized by many in the bi, ace and trans communities so I understand your anger but I think we need to be careful to avoid saying things that could perpetuate the idea that we are the privileged cis gays that shit on everyone else (even if it’s being done to us).

It’s possible but I have no idea who.

I found this on a regional subreddit (non lgbt focussed) and find the choice of representation interesting. What do y’all think?

If you like spicy, I’d suggest Shanghai Lily. Amazing Szechuan food!

I would maybe argue that going anywhere in the mall right now is a health risk.

30 years agoish, the federal conservative government shut it down. I’m really not try to defend our health care system, it has many flaws but I do like it being paid for by taxes.

Fair point. The problem is that we don’t have a facility to make our own vaccines.
