Once upon a time everyone turned gay

And then there was peace.

You can’t turn gay. Just saying.

Realistic Views from a Sane Mind: Is there really other sexualities?

privilegethis:

Short answer, no.

Long answer.

Sorry. You all can claim to be so but the fact of the matter is that just because you claim to be does not make you so.

There are only three.

Homosexual

and

Hetrosexual

and

Bisexual

You are either Straight, Gay/Lesbian, or float both ways. You could also…

This is wrong. Sexuality is fluid, and more so for bisexual because it’s a spectrum. You can identify as bi, but prefer men, just as you can identify as bi and prefer women. Just because partners are not perfectly equal, does not mean that they aren’t “really” bisexual.

Also, Demisexuals do exist, along with pansexuals, asexuals (just because this is not on the top list), and on top of this, there are “homoromantics” and about the same combinations of romantics as sexuailty has. It’s a very fluid and flexible thing, so there is such a possibility to be heterosexual and still be homoromantic at the same time. Sexuality is a tool to describe yourself, not to do it “right” as you’re suggesting.

Though I see where you’re coming from. Bisexuals tend to get a lot of grief, for whatever reason, but it doesn’t mean you’re wrong, or they’re wrong.
Though I am getting tired of people being a different sexuality because it’s a “fad” or interesting, and are completely ignorant to what it really means.

This is a typically flawed piece of gay-advocacy.
The poster claims these are two men.
These are not two men. These are two identical symbols of maleness.
No, I cannot tell which is gay; that is, which of the two symbols is attracted to symbols of the same gender. I also cannot tell which symbol represents a white guy and which represents a black guy (in the name of liberal political correctness, I can only assume they are both of a different race).
If these weren’t merely symbols, however, but were actual photos of two different people, one the common gay man and the other the common straight man, I’m pretty sure we’d be able to tell which was which. Not all the time, but generally. Just as we’d be able to tell which one was black and which one was white.
Stereotypes are the views of the fearlessly observant. If gays don’t want to be stereotyped, I would advise they stop living up to the gay stereotype, especially in such large proportion as they do.

Yes, because people should continue to stereotype something (which they have no business stereotyping) that isn’t even the stereotype. Most gays don’t act like the gay stereotype. In fact, they do this so well, they stay shoved into the closet because they are afraid of the people who believe like you do, of the gay stereotype, and will beat them in the face just because who they prefer or identify as. Even though you can’t tell. Not even if they had a rainbow flag strapped on their back, there are straight allies.  
The gays you know about aren’t all the gays in the world, nor should you speak of them as if out-and-proud is the only way to be. The point of the symbols is in fact you can’t tell by looks. You need to wait for content instead of assuming things by what they look like: a black man isn’t going to have a gun any more than a white man is, just as a straight man isn’t going to be tough and manly looking any more than a gay man isn’t going to feminine and girly or whatever. 
That is what equality and equal marriage is all about. Not just for gays, for everyone’s equality, and this is a step forward.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor.

Please, set aside 15 minutes of your time to watch this amazingly brilliant short animation. I can’t even describe how beautiful, heartfelt, and nostalgic it was to watch. Because of how many awards it has won and nominated for, they also made it an interactive book for the iPad (here). You can also view it for free on your itunes (here). I’m telling you, for all my book lovers, librarians, authors, writers, anybody who has ever loved a book, this short was made for you. Watch it. 

This is an amazing piece of work. Please watch it.

Shay-Rae In-Game: SIMPLY REBLOG AND YOU CAN HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

SIMPLY REBLOG AND YOU CAN HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
SIMPLY REBLOG AND YOU CAN HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE.



Hey there, my name is Shayla and I’ve been gaming for as long as I can remember.
I’ve been lucky enough to grow in a stable household and I’ve never had to deal with a life altering illness, but I know first hand how important video games can be. Gaming can offer an escape from our daily lives and a chance to unwind. People my age and older benefit from it- now imagine how important it is for children who are suffering from illnesses of all kinds to have distraction and a chance to have fun in their lives. That’s why I want to donate to Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play charity.

ABOUT CHILD’S PLAY
“Since 2003, we’ve set up and organized Child’s Play, a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in our network of over 70 hospitals worldwide. Over the years, you as a community have answered the call and come together to raise millions of dollars.
<!—[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]—>

Child’s Play works in two ways. With the help of hospital staff, we set up gift wish lists full of video games, toys, books, and other fun stuff for kids. By clicking on a hospital location on our map, you can view that hospital’s wish list and send a gift. 

Child’s Play also receives cash donations throughout the year. With those cash donations, we purchase new consoles, peripherals, games, and more for hospitals and therapy facilities. These donations allow for children to enjoy age-appropriate entertainment, interact with their peers, friends, and family, and can provide vital distraction from an otherwise generally unpleasant experience.

-Child’s Play.”

ABOUT MY FUNDRAISER

  • For every re-blog of this post, I will donate 20 cents to the Child’s Play charity! The deadline I’m setting is February 19th so on that day, I’ll do the math and figure out how much I’ll be donating to them. 
     
  • I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANY MONEY. All I want is for people to reblog this post and spread the word! The number of reblogs will decide how much I donate to Child’s Play. I don’t want your money. Just your awareness and kindness. 
     
  • I don’t know how successful this will wind up being, but you have my word that every reblog WILL act as money towards Child’s Play. Even if I have to set a certain amount of money out of my pay cheques and do so for years, I’ll do it and that’s a promise! 


THE BREAKDOWN

1 reblog = 20 cents
10 reblogs = 2 dollars
50 reblogs = 10 dollars
100 reblogs = 20 dollars
150 reblogs = 30 dollars
200 reblogs = 40 dollars
500 reblogs = 100 dollars
1000 reblogs = 200 dollars
5000 reblogs = 1,000 dollars

And so forth!

Whether you’re a gamer or not, please reblog this!

I’m running out of room

For books, my tiny wolf fingurine collection, my Harry Potter legos, and I’ve just asked for more of all of these things for Christmas. (I’ll admit I set myself up for that one. A bit.) Christmas break is going to be horrible trying to stuff all of it in my full to the brim room.

And on another note:

It might be a bit pathetic, but I just cried a little once I finally read what it said. I wish Dobby didn&#8217;t have to die.
