Honestly, you are depressingly correct :( but even so, misinterpretation, wilful or not, is only part of the reason I wish we'd go back to Liberation instead of Pride. I know the name doesn't have to dictate the goals, but I feel like we lost sight of the movement when we made marriage equality the end-all-be-all, and there's been such an abandonment of it since 2015. We're not there for our trans and nonbinary siblings anyway, because gay men "got ours," so to speak. A lot has improved in the last 60 years, but I wish the queer community still had the community part of things like we used to

Said it before, I'll probably say it again: this is why we should never have changed the name from Gay Liberation. A movement based around human rights and liberation from oppression shouldn't have changed its name from Liberation to Pride. Now we spend a solid 30% of our energy just explaining what pride is and why it should exist, and fending off the constant "why is there no X pride" bullshit. Call it liberation ans it's very clear what it is, what it's for, and why there isn't a straight liberation movement-- it may even cause a few people to genuinely consider if they, the straights, need liberation, too, from the oppression of heteronormativity... Though that's asking a lot of your average hetero

Currently drunk on bourbon street in NOLA, hooked up like 5 times, and just finished 2 of something called a swamp juice and another thing called a hand grenade... I definitely need water
It needs to be against the wall, but I grew up with bunk beds in a room that could have fit 2 (well, in one of the places, anyway), it was nice. Gave us extra room for toys and shit and playing games
The bottom bunk twin speaking like he's been replaced with a cyborg?
I was pretty stonery in m'youth, and lemme tell you, I was not about to wake up early enough to brunch
This happened one day in the window well outside my office. I got banned from r/pics for posting it.
Completely unrelated, but tonight I opened an app to look for hotels, and it greeted me with a message that I had a "0% off" coupon for my next booking
There are also us gays who aren't members of the church, but really wish we could be (but won't, because of gestures wildly at the church with frantic, panicked eyes)
