Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
If you have ever thought to yourself “Oh my god, why does it even MATTER if there are gay people in this? Its a book/movie/TV show/etc. It isn’t a big deal!” Remember this:
You have probably NEVER, EVER, in your entire life, read a book WITHOUT any straight people in it.
Think about that. Every story, every TV show, every movie, or book, or comic you have EVER read has had cishet people in it. Every. Single. One.
Even shows like Queer as Folk have more recurring straight characters than most shows have recurring LGBTQ+ characters. How sad is that?
You don’t know the luxury you have in that.
So before you treat us like we’re whiny and irrational, just remember that we only want a little of what you have ALWAYS had.
we’re terribly sorry, but you can’t put your disobedient child in the stowaway luggage, you’re just going to have to carry on your wayward son
I think life for me is all about getting to the top and falling back down and repeating the cycle over and over again. I have such unrealistic standards for what I want to happen to me and I’m learning over and over again that I won’t get what I want every time I want it, and that’s alright.
"It’s 11 am and I’m sitting in a restaurant
3 beers in. Believe me, even I’m surprised
I’m still alive sometimes.
I have been drinking about you for 2 days.
Lately you remind me of a wild thing
chewing through it’s foot. But you
are already free and I don’t know what to do
except trace the rough line of your jaw
and try not to place blame.
Here is the truth: It is hard to be in love
with someone who is in love someone else.
I don’t know how to turn that into poetry."
