I’m sick of seeing apparently ‘LGBT inclusive’ posts that completely disregard my sexuality. I want to know who out there believes that I and others like me exist and have a valid sexuality.
as pride season rolls around let me remind fellow het-partnered bisexual people:
Pride really isn’t for you, so don’t act like you deserve to be there as much lesbians and gay men. Really, just don’t go at all, because there are no resources there that are for you. what are you proud of? being in the relationship literally everyone expects you to be in and that introduces no actual oppression into your life?
but at the very least, if you must go (and god knows hell nor high water will stop you) please, please, please
don’t
bring
your
het
partner
^^^^
THANK YOU.
This just in- Bisexuals not welcome at Pride. I guess I’ve been reading LGBT wrong this entire time.
Hi.
CHECK YOURSELVES.
Don’t cut people out of a community because we aren’t “gay enough” for you.
Pride is a chance for everyone in the community to come together and SUPPORT EACH OTHER.
This ain’t a competition it’s PRIDE. ITS SHOWING PRIDE IN OUR IDENTITIES. DONT TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY AWAY FROM PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PUT YOURSELVES ON A PEDESTAL WITH A GOLD FUCKING MEDAL FOR HAVING IT THE WORST.And all that aside. Pride is for the whole lgbtq community and its supporters.
Christ.What do you people think the B in LGBTQ+ stands for? Bumblebees? Brussels sprouts???
But, no, there’s no biphobia in queer spaces.
Hey everyone in the LGBT community, lets make august 1st 2015 the first official LGBT Tumblr selfie day!!!! Take a selfie and post it on Tumblr and tag what part of the LGBT community you are a part of and #LGBT TUMBLR DAY!!!! Lets show the world who we are and our pride as a member of the LGBT community!!!! Keep spreading this around so we can get as many of our friends to help show pride.
attdoctor-prophet:
sex-positive asexuals are people who are willing to have sex.
sex-repulsed asexuals are people who want nothing to do with sex.
sex-neutral asexuals are people who are indifferent about sex.
all types of asexuals do not experience sexual attraction, but that does not define their sex life, nor does it mean their sexuality is invalid.
important important important
*raises hand* I have a question.
How can an asexual person have sex with someone, if they’re not sexually attracted to them?An asexual’s body is perfectly functional. It reacts to touch just like anyone else’s, meaning, an asexual will experience physical arousal and likely feel appropriate pleasure from sex when touched in a way that feels good to them personally. Asexuality isn’t the lack of sexual functions, it’s the lack of sexual attraction only, and sex can be present without specific attraction. For example, a sex positive asexual might have a what appears to be a quite active sex life for other reasons than attraction solely; emotional bonding, physical pleasure, relaxation and fun are just some reasons to like sex, even with the “kicker” being gone from the act.
The lack of sexual attraction doesn’t automatically mean a partner is undesirable to an ace - it just means they aren’t specifically attractive in that certain way. Other motivations may take over, or they may not.
Wow, thank you for this! Posts like these are really helping me to understand asexuality a lot more, and I am super appreciative of that.
A FUCKING MEN
I’ve heard a good analogy about this: Being an asexual and having sex is like not being hungry but eating anyway. You don’t feel the physical desire to eat, but that doesn’t mean your body is incapable of chewing, swallowing, and digesting food. Asexuality is a lack of sexual desire, not a lack of ability to engage in sex.
i say “im gay” a lot for someone who is pan
You should probably stop???
wild idea: don’t call yourself gay if ur not
wild idea: gay people have monopolized every aspect of LGBTQA+ life including issues and accomplishments, you never hear “the pansexual marriage debate” on the news, you never hear about lesbian homeless youth, you never hear about transgender workplace discrimination! you hear the word “gay” over and over again, every other sexual orientation and gender identity is completely erased! white gay men have somehow become the face of our community so if other queer people assimilate into that! and call ourselves what they call themselves in order to feel like we have a place! within our OWN community! it’s not really our fault, white gays have made everything about themselves since forever and now all of a sudden they wanna say we’re appropriating the word “gay” by calling ourselves that??? doesn’t make much sense.

I am asexual and the fact that some people liked this post literally makes me so sad.
Declaring yourself asexual is actually a form of self-diagnosis.
You have no business diagnosing yourself. You are not qualified to evaluate your own biology or psychology. It’s literally equivalent to just deciding you’re bipolar. It’s not a personal identity decision.
You have no business diagnosing yourself.
Are you… Are you implying that gay people cAN’T IDENTIFY AS GAY THEY HAVE TO BE DIAGNOSED HOLY CRAP THIS IS COMEDY GOLD THERE’S NO WAY YOU AREN’T A TROLL.
“Tim, your results came back. You’re gay.”
“Thanks, Doc. There’s absolutely no way I could have possibly known that on my own without your official diagnosis.”
Fucking amazing
no, this is serious. I had to go through a series of tests before I could be diagnosed as bi//pan. I even have a laminated card and everything.

#[40S COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER VOICE] WHAT’S BETTER THAN THIS? GALS BEING PALS
Fun fact: Though being gay in the 40s sucked, being gay in the military was easier, and pretty common. There were apparently, at one point in time time so many lesbians in the military that when they tried to crack down on it, the girls wrote back and said “Look I can give you the names, but you’ll lose some of your best officers, and half your nurses and secretaries.” And they pretty much shut up about it unless you were especially bad at subtlety. (Source: Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers. A good source for gay history from 1900s onwards.)
Sergeant Phelps worked for General Eisenhower. Four decades after Eisenhower had defeated the Axis powers, Phelps recalled an extraordinary event. One day the general told her, “I’m giving you an order to ferret those lesbians out.’ We’re going to get rid of them.”
“I looked at him and then I looked at his secretary. who was standing next to me, and I said, ‘Well, sir, if the general pleases, sir, I’ll be happy to do this investigation for you. But you have to know that the first name on the list will be mine.’
"And he kind of was taken aback a bit. And then this woman standing next to me said, ‘Sir, if the general pleases, you must be aware that Sergeant Phelps’s name may be second, but mine will be first.’
"Then I looked at him, and I said, ‘Sir, you’re right. They’re lesbians in the WAC battalion. And if the general is prepared to replace all the file clerks, all the section commanders, all of the drivers—every woman in the WAC detachment—and there were about nine hundred and eighty something of us—then I’ll be happy to make the list. But I think the general should be aware that among those women are the most highly decorated women in the war. There have been no cases of illegal pregnancies. There have been no cases of AWOL. There have been no cases of misconduct. And as a matter of fact, every six months since we’ve been here, sir, the general has awarded us a commendation for meritorious service.’
"And he said, ‘Forget the order.’
