You're right, I shouldn't have said "liar", that was shitty of me.

Basically, the second study screened for liars. Which proves the point that most gay men make: It's not that bisexual men don't exist, it's that a lot of men who say they're bisexual aren't.

That's exactly what I was going to say. Bi men exist, but I can name a dozen people I know personally who used the label to ease into the identity, myself included.

Now playing

"If I cook [the stuffing] inside the turkey, is there a chance I could kill my guests? I'm not saying that's necessarily a deal-breaker."

I was waiting for someone to post that!!!!!

Oh. Duh. Troll.

Repeat after me: "Carmen Carrera is not a man. She is a woman."

I'm a gay guy in my early 20s. I absolutely want kids, but not until my 20s are done. It's extra complicated for me because I'll most likely be adopting and I absolutely do not want to be a single dad. I would seriously rather not have kids than have them by myself (and I want several).

Oh my (non-existent) god I'm the same way! Show me a good "O Holy Night", "Carol of the Bells", or "Angels We Have Heard On High" and I'm belting my little tone-deaf heart out.

Oh no, I don't want Tami Taylor OR Vivian Harmon.

Funny Story. My friend J got a nose job before starting college. She looked great. It was very different but still totally fit her face. She loved it and I was very happy for her.

I repeat, neither the post nor I are equating the oppression white women went through as a result of slavery to the oppression black women went through. The post describes the way powerlessness in white women translated to worse oppression of black women, as they were kicking downhill. A description is neither an

You're right. Let's play the "Who has/had it worse" game. That always leads to productive discussions and positive solutions.

I'm just a young gay white latino cis guy with a practical streak. I believe in taking the ethical actions required to achieve your goals in reality, not in an ideal world.

Let's talk about how the horrors of slavery impacted every aspect of society, and harmed various non-privileged groups in different ways. No one is equating the oppression. No one is saying that White women had it just as bad as Black woman.

Of course you're correct. Worse damage is done by Alices not acknowledging Bettys than vice versa. But that's dangerously close to the "starving children in Africa" fallacy. The existence of a worse Problem B does not deny or preclude the existence of Problem A.

I read a great article that included the following metaphor for privilege (paraphrased)

As a Houston resident, I am 100% on board with that plan

You're arguments are completely valid. Here is my response to your first paragraph. I am less qualified to respond to your second paragraph, as a white person, but I simply disagree with "that face should exist, but it should not be white", though I acknowledge the validity of the argument

I agree that's it's problematic, I just think that complaining about an audience's reaction to a work of art is as futile as punching at the ocean. It's been like that since the beginning of art. It's not worth our time or energy as people actually trying to make a difference. Say "Hey, if you like 'Same Love', here
