Others have said it better and more eloquently, but the LGBT community has a massive fear and disgust of masculinity it needs to reckon with in order to be whole. Bears, transmascs, masculine enbies, AMAB enbies, butch lesbians, masc intersex folk, drag kings, and those who find themselves in some fluid space between them or are masc in ways I’ve left out - they all need support from the LGBT community, they all have the same traumas from being queer, and all of them that I’ve met have some horror story about hitting the ‘must be this femme to ride’ bar.
You can be gnc and masculine. This needs to be embraced.
Masculine people are not the enemy. The community needs to be as ready to embrace its brothers as it is its sisters. We are all queer.
idk im really tired of 15-17 year olds who have never interacted with the gay community irl and spend too much time on tiktok trying to act like the authority on all that is lgbt+
mean this in the kindest possible way. if you are too young and unsafe to go to your gay community center or pride here’s some ways you can connect to gay history.
leslie is one of the first openly bisexual celebrities in asia, an absolute icon
From Wikipedia: In an interview in 1992, Cheung stated that “My mind is bisexual. It’s easy for me to love a woman. It’s also easy for me to love a man, too” and “I believe that a good actor would be androgynous, and ever changing.“
He announced his same-sex relationship with his childhood friend Daffy Tong Hok-tak (唐鶴德) during a concert in 1997, earning him prestige in LGBT communities in China, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. His relationship with Daffy lasted for almost 20 years until his death in 2003.
In a 2001 interview with Time magazine, Cheung said: “It’s more appropriate to say I’m bisexual. I’ve had girlfriends. When I was 22 or so, I asked my girlfriend Teresa Mo to marry me.”
Checked on this, the company issued a formal apology where they admitted they assumed the author was straight because she “presented herself as straight”
She literally told them she was bisexual in the query she submitted
I know, that’s what makes this even worse.
That publishing company is such bullshit lmaooo
‘Slander’ bitch its a screenshot of what you wrote
The publisher pulled the whole “you reacted negatively so we’re just never speaking again, i hope you’re happy” thing. bruh.
They’ve deleted their twitter, turned off comments for their YouTube channel (why do they have one of those??) And then posted one of those YouTuber apology statements.
