Reminder for Pride Month:

People who date multiple genders but dont want to label themselves as bisexual and prefer the term queer are not biphobic, they’re just people who dont feel like that term fits them.

People who only date one gender but don’t want to label themselves as gay/lesbian and prefer the term queer are not homophobic/lesbophobic, theyre just people who dont feel like that term fits them.

Sexuality is complicated and personal. Sometimes its a shifting, fluid thing, sometimes its set in stone. Sexuality and the terms we use to describe it are not political statements.

In a vote on Friday, May 17, Taiwan parliament legalized same-sex marriage, becoming the first country in Asia to do so.

This is only a week before the Parliament was to hit the deadline of May 24 set in 2017 after the constitutional court ruled that same-sex couple had the right to legally marry. 

Following years of campaigning by LGBT+ groups for equal marriage rights, hundreds swarmed the parliament building on Friday as the debate was held. Three bills were debated but last-minute attempts by conservatives to pass a watered-down “civil union” laws with not adoption rights were rejected.

In the end, the most progressive one was chosen which allowed couples to form “exclusive permanent unions” and apply for “marriage registrations.” However, this bill was not perfect, as it provides only limited adoption rights and draws some distinctions between heterosexual marriage, such as the inability to marry a foreigner if same-sex marriage is not legal in their country. Yet this is still be hailed by LGBTQ+ advocate as a momentous victory.

This landmark ruling will be implemented on May 24th and is bound to spread hope in Asia’s growing LGBT+ movements.

why? straight-gay best friends being the main focus of the show… it’s what we deserve

even though the show is set in the present day, they’ve decided to go with the 70s aesthetic vibe which looks just astonishing + the soundtrack slaps

from iconic scenes

through powerful scenes

through random moments that end up being touching

to… well

[jennifer lawrence voice] gay rights!

the reason behind the father being hesitant and (at first) not really supportive of his gay son using make-up and dressing up is that he’s genuinely scared and worried something will happen to him outside because he loves him… truly a father-gay son dynamic we needed to see

Jackson Marchetti. Feminist icon. Abs. Excellence. Does his best. Lesbian moms. Charming. What’s there not to love? Let him breathe, Netflix.

“I love her!” be more specific

the hero of the show actually being an awkward guy and a very likeable character

this non-problematic legend being out there, loving math and making sure his partner is genuinely sexually pleased

the only two openly gay guys at school are not friends but gay solidarity still exists

Mean Girls 2.0 being really mean but we still stan these vegan icons

literally no one giving a fuck that the gay guy is in the boys changing room… looks like it’s finally 2019

and I mean… Gillian Anderson… hello

It has been ages since I last posted any text post here. It’s currently 22:53, 31st of July right now, where I’m at.

I just feel like writing, something that I’ve not done for awhile. I feel rusty.. and a lil’ forgetful. Forgetful in the sense of, not remembering what words to use, and of course memories seem to be so foggy when I don’t pen them down. It feels as if, if I am not careful enough, they would slip away.

Anyway, I just feel like writing these down because July has been really nice.

From attending a spoken word poetry, to a musical, and a 3-day music festival(in a foreign country!)…

I have not done those in sometime, ever since I moved away from home. To be able to do all of that in a month is overwhelming and extremely nice.

They reminded me of what I really loved. Eventhough I am older now, and I got so tired and even fell sick after 3 days of the festival , there is nothing that would stop me from doing them all over again.

Plus, my company for all 3 events was amazing. I am beyond grateful to be able to do it all with someone that matters the world to me and to have that person share the same interests as me?? That’s a fucking dream come true.

Sometimes things like these are what you need after spending so much of your time at work.

Sometimes I do feel like escaping, eventhough I love what I do. It’s just the constant shift work in an enclosed space… and as much as I love not having to interact with humans,

I sometimes miss being in a space with hundreds, thousands of people, just jumping and singing along to songs that we all enjoy and to shed a tear or two when certain lines in a poem hit close to home.

And my favourite thing is; whenever I don’t know a certain line to a song, I can always look around and see how everyone around me immerse themselves in the music, and that is something that I don’t get tired of doing.

To my favourite person in the whole wide world, if you are reading this.. I love you, and thanks for being the greatest videographer for me during the festival. You gave me videos that I could watch back over and over whenever I miss it. You stayed calm, when I was jumping insanely to Lorde. It’s little things like this one that make me realise how blessed I am to have you. Can’t wait to experience so much more things with you! 2 years feels like a breeze when we have the rest of our lives, together. ❤️
