Stop treating words like “gay” and “lesbian” like they’re bad words that can’t be said around children. They aren’t. Quit treating us like something inappropriate that should be shielded from pure eyes.
Stop treating queer relationships as if they’re more sexual than straight relationships. Newsflash, they aren’t. They can be just as innocent and pure as hetero relationships. They are not inherently sexual.
Stop telling us to not wear or have or say “gay” things because “you might anger someone!” Yet not telling them to stop saying crud like “ it’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” Maybe their homophobic and misguided comments anger me.
I am tired. Tired of being treated like something dirty. Like something gross. Like my entire existence is something to be wary of and inherently angered by. And I’m sick and tired of it.
