WHAT PART OF LGBT DO THESE PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND!? For events that are supposed to be about "pride" and "acceptance," they're sure a bunch of hypocrites with their biphobia and racism.
As someone who's likely a gray ace (and someone who may be panromantic to boot), this hurts me on a personal level. Hell, even more so knowing that some of my closest friends in the world are bi, including my ex-boyfriend. It took so long for Jimmy to admit he was bi; I was so proud of him when he finally came out. This sort of bullshit is probably the million reasons why he's kept his mouth shut about it for so long. He'd be embarrassed and people would laugh at him and call him names. When homophobes aren't mocking him for being "unmanly" and cracking his self-esteem like an egg, biphobes will tell him to fuck off because he's "fake" or he "betrayed" them.
I'm literally crying.
PEOPLE ARE SCUM.

Date: 2014-08-21 02:39 am (UTC)Why do people have to be such shits?
EDIT: of course I have need for the community because of activism, continued gay-rights battles, and such, I meant that my PERSONAL participation was unnecessary. Apparently I got too angry to speak correctly.
Edit again: wow, I've really forgotten how to speak tonight. Derp.
