isn’t “power bottom” what the with it str8ts say now? kind of like when they found out about bears in 2013?

queer kids deserve better music than this lol

The conversation happens all the time. I identify publicly as a gay man because of a few significant factors in how my life works. Personally, I wouldn’t consider myself as either part of the gender binary and, if I felt it would be easily implemented, would prefer they/them pronouns.

No one is spamming you. You seem to be under the impression that only this one band is out there. There are many, many queer bands. You are being overly dramatic on this particular issue for literally no reason. I don’t want people reading your again overly dramatic comment thinking this is the one and only band…

I’m here for that description. I’ve seen a huge rise in individuals who present as a single gender with some androgynous clothing choices and demand a “they” pronoun, identifying as queer while having mostly hetero relationships. It’s a little much, particularly with white members of the “radical” community imo. There…

I’m a gay man, 34yo, and foster parent for LGBT youth. I don’t use the term queer (or genderqueer) myself, and don’t permit it to be used in the home because of its history as a slur. I grew up being called queer and faggot, and don’t see any difference between the two terms.

Yep. Being a male who sexually assaults women. How “queer” !

PS Ben is straight and cisgendered and is a motherfucking phony who trivializes queer issues for his own benefit.

Queer stopped being synonymous with LGBTQ+ not too long ago, now half the people who declare themselves as “queer” are, by standards of 10 years ago, edgy straight people.

Most of the people who use the term would have been called bisexual in the past. Most actual gay people I know (ie, the ones who were targeted with this slur in the first place) don’t use it as much.

PWR BTTM, which formed in 2013 while members Hopkins and Liv Bruce were students at Bard College, is a queer rock band with both members preferring gender neutral pronouns.

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.

I feel this so hard. I slather myself in sunscreen (even my hands, I have a special SPF hand lotion) and I’m looking into buying a sun parasol so I can REALLY cement my status as a weird old lady at the ripe old age of 31.
