(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 01:53 am (UTC)(link)Why do people do this? Why? What good would come of hating those who want to help our cause?!
Re: -cough- Bisexuality -cough-
So basically, if, for example, I'm out shopping and some dickwaffle is berating or even threatening someone who happens to be queer/gay/what have you....I'm supposed to walk off? Instead of trying to defend that person? Hell, even if I had no idea the person was gay, I'd still like to try to defend them, but it's somehow...wrong these days.
Or at least, that's what I get from reading posts and comments on ontd_p.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 02:28 am (UTC)(link)if you want to 'help the cause', really and truly, then your little feelings won't get hurt when some 'allies' get called out for the shit they do. or you will be understanding and not take it personally if someone who is queer is mistrusting of str8 folks and their bullshit.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 03:05 am (UTC)(link)the casual ignorance and microaggressions i and other queer people face day after day is the bullshit i mean.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 02:38 am (UTC)(link)Spitting in the face, of folks who want to help, is not going to make things any better for us. We are not going to come together, as one people, if we perpetuate an 'us Vs them' attitude.
Love, not hate, never hate.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 03:19 am (UTC)(link)No, you aren't entitled to thanks, and if you're doing this for the thanks, you're in it for the cred and not to actually fucking help. They're the kind to lump a minority together based on the actions of a few.

Re: -cough- Bisexuality -cough-
Whereas I've never actually seen one say such a thing, I've only seen them get a little ruffled after the whole 'die cis-het scum' trend started.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 02:11 am (UTC)(link)It just makes this old gay man, want to cry.
Re: -cough- Bisexuality -cough-
Re: -cough- Bisexuality -cough-
Um, no. How about we just want to help people. Cause it's the right thing to do. But, apparently we can only help ourselves, cause it's some how demeaning otherwise. IDGI.
Re: -cough- Bisexuality -cough-
(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)I see it as a ploy by homophobic groups to cause discontent, and infighting within the cause. Anger is one hell of a drug, and by using anger to lash out at anyone, and everyone, no matter who they are, will just alienate us further from becoming equal.
I hope I'm wrong, but sometimes I worry...

Well, in my personal experience, rarely (if ever) have I come across a straight ally expecting me to treat them as if they're my knight in shining armour. Because they know better than that. And the ones that do are borderline homophobic anyway.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 02:01 am (UTC)(link)Maybe I'm biased, because I've had a lot of so called "fake gay girls" hit on me in my time. They were using me to determine if they were gay or straight. Like, they would go out on dates with me, eventually this would lead to kissing and more - and then a few weeks later it was like "Well, you're a great girl but you showed me I'm not gay. I'm with boy XY now, I hope you will find your true love one day, yadda yadda" and no fucking one called them out on that because they were "just finding out about their sexuality~~".
This shit happened to me four times within two years. And then I stopped going to gay clubs (where I had met all of these "let's try being lesbian" chicks).
I really think you can come to terms with your sexuality without making it a group/project/whatever :/
Re: -cough- Bisexuality -cough-
tl;dr I'm sorry you've had bad experiences but serious answer, yes, questioning should be included.
