I don’t just complete her questline because I’m a lesbian.
I mean, I am a lesbian, but that’s not why I do it.

Ranni’s is the only “good” ending.

It’d help if Mindy weren’t a bigot (“extra transphobia, please”) and that her hateful nonsense wasn’t showing through in her work. Unfortunately, she is, and it is.

What an absolutely pathetic slap on the wrist.

As long as the punishment for horrific abuse and theft of the people is paying fines, the rich will continue to be above any law.

“We don’t care about identity politics or if you’re gay or whatever, just act like we think you should.”

A gay man that literally acts in all the ways they think a man should act but happens to be gay.

“WE HATE HIM BECAUSE HE’S GAY.”

Look, I’m not saying that asking conservatives to be consistent is hopeless, but asking…

Or, at best, treated as a punchline/stereotype (and generally predatory).

It’s like saying this is the timeline where the Confederates lost. Sure, they lost the actual pitched war, but they won destroying Reconstruction. They won rewriting the history books. They won wiping Black people back out of government in the South as soon as the North stopped keeping them from killing any Black…

I really hate this timeline.

I almost snorted coffee out of my nose.

That’s not even touching on how a lot of straight men are afraid that gay or bi men will treat them they way they treat women.

A lot of the time I think they’re either afraid that what little affection they’re “allowed” with other men (outside of the weird man worship that a lot of straight men do) may be construed as gay, or that maybe, just maybe, they may be bi 😅

The important part is that I lived through it.

I’m more concerned with where we’re going.

I came in here expecting some absurdly Activision-Blizzard-King level of homophobia or something and instead I got ...this?

I mean, people are going on homophobic screed rants about this show and this is supposedly the most egregious thing.

Can we have two buff, short-haired, butch women instead of two conventionally pretty femmes for the straights™️? 😅 No reason

I’m really glad there was great representation of two bearish men here. We need more diversity in our representation. Too often it’s such a small subset of who we are.

I agree and disagree in a way.

If only because being a lesbian and being trans has dramatically shaped my life. I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t those things. My life would be wholly different. That’s not to say we don’t need representation that shows us as more than silly caricatures, but you can’t really separate a lot…

vomits in lesbian

I’m so sorry. No words can really cover that. I hope their lives are full and joyful as they can be and that we obliterate cancer from the face of the Earth.

I think this is one of the other big reasons why representation is so important. It’s really important for us because it lets us see ourselves on the screen, as people, as normal, as heroic (or not), and/or human. But I think it also does the same for everyone else, and I think that’s why bigots and all the folks…

Thank you. I’m finally at a point in my life where I can agree with you - I’m glad I’m here, too. And I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad everyone is here. Now if we can just...let people be who they are.

This article really struck a chord with me. I grew up during the 80s and 90s when outright beating and killing LGBTQ+ folks, even kids, was just how things were. Most of my friends died, either to suicide or abuse, or violence of some other kind. I myself was beaten, attacked, shot at, stabbed, left to die. I tried to…
