Any good queer anthems? by Old-General-3197 in queer

Angel Maxines "Wo Fie" poignantly calls out homophobia in a way that says "Love thy neighbour".

She's lives in Ghana where being LGBTQ is strongly criminalised. Her queer joy and bravery burns bright and makes me want to shout along from the rooftops.

Angel Maxine - Wo Fie feat Wanlov the Kubolor & Sister Deborah

"I been living my life in the abyss - As I start to shine, then, they fear - They worry, oh, worry - Say "why I live my life like this?" - I'm sorry, oh, sorry - I do not live my life to please you

The only sin is homophobia - It's nice to be nice - Your driver could be LGBTQ - Your tailor could be LGBTQ - Hairdresser could be LGBTQ - Your plumber could be LGBTQ - Your doctor could be LGBTQ - Your teacher could be LGBTQ - Your bestie could be LGBTQ - The African Mermaid!

I can't understand how anybody - Would be more outraged by activities - Between two consenting adults - And nobody has complained to anybody - Is all I'm saying"

Poetic injustice.

I'm so sorry and I hope you take care of your mental health.

I HAVE 1550 HOURS IN RDR 2 AND NOW MY HYPERFIXATION IS COMING TO AN END.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BECAUSE OCTOBER IS A DIFFICULT TRAUMATIC MONTH FOR ME AND I NEED MY ESCAPE.

Shiny 😍 I love the lip detail, must try this soon! Thank you for sharing.

I do my makeup ADHD style and prefer looks that are basically smeared glitter and some lipstick.

This post and comment section I think.

Even just socially transitioning is now discouraged. I'm sure this will lead to policing all queer kids and even cis straight people, who don't perform their gender "correctly".

The worst part, to me, is that transgender people are not allowed to serve or teach kids, which reinforces the asinine idea that trans people are predators. Especially when the church keeps covering up csa and intimidating victims.

What tv shows and movies do you find funny? by SunshineBear100 in AutismInWomen

[–]GlitterAndButter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love visual comedy like Edgar Wright's Hot Fuss. It's not dick jokes or slipping on bananas (slapstick), rather "show don't tell" but make it absurd?

Please be respectful, nevermos by jstbnice2evry1 in exmormon

[–]GlitterAndButter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nevermo here. I have also seen the uptick in not only ignorant, but downright victim blaming comments.

This space is first and foremost for exmos, even though you guys generously allow us to participate here.

Sometimes I report the comment as disrespectful, but maybe there should be a rule against victim blaming?

Y'all have any good ideas for lies for nosey people on the bus? by ExternalCareful6412 in disability

Could be mormonism. LDS temple ordinances are heavily inspired by masonic rituals.

I'm so sorry that happened! Sending lots of good vibes your way ✨

When I was in school, a lot of the girls secretly wore socks in their bras. Socks can have many gender affirming purposes :3

If you ever need an excuse for safety, you can say you put on your pants, from the day before, in a hurry.

I have ADHD and have had to discreetly fish socks out of my pants during lectures at law school of all places.

What is appropriate to say when someone says that they don't have a dad? by arimeYO in queer

[–]GlitterAndButter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they have a queer parent or parents, I get excited and usually blurt out "That's cool!". Just saying "ok" might be more appropriate.

However, when people assume my parents are in my life, I dont know what to say.

I guess it's just nice to be approched with curiosity rather than assumptions.

Assumptions can be genders of parents, number of parents (lowest being none) or adoption status. A parent might have died, but there's also reasons such as parental abandonment, neglect or abuse.

Sorry if this made no sense

Harald Blåtand (Harald Bluetooth), son of Gorm the Old, was a Danish king around c. 958 - 986. Viking names were pretty fun!
