I still don’t think anyone should feel they have to reveal their status in such a public manner unless they want to, not because they have to combat stigma.

We are reading it very differently. We are also reading LGBT history differently if you think that “sit quietly and hope for the best” is something other than hiding. And the desire to hide is understandable when people are, in fact, out to get you.

It’s called privacy.

Your response seems to buy into a lot of stigmatization. It sucks that he would ever feel the need to hide his status, any more than someone should be ashamed to reveal they have diabetes. I suspect he would’ve talked about it anyway, in the parallel universe where Hillary won the election. Because destigmatizing HIV…

Curly red hair Natasha is best Natasha.  Fight me.

If I were a rich woman, I would enjoy the pursuits of professional pride and accomplishment AND have a person making my hair look good if I could. Who says you can’t have it all! ;) 

Haha  biphobia lol so funny and original! /s

I know what you mean, which is why I put on my Thanos onesie destroy half of the chores when I get home. It’s for the greater good I tell myself.

Well, yeah, NOW they need to assume as much. 30 years ago no one considered it was possible to go hunting down your donors with genetic testing. Talk about unforeseen consequences for the donor.

Of course you cannot sign away the rights of your child to seek out their biological parent, especially in the era of readily available DNA testing and ancestry companies. But this woman who contacted her donor’s mother is kind of the worst. Like wtf was she expecting? Talk about seriously overstepping boundaries. If…

Today, in 2019, absolutely... I kind of feel bad for all the guys who donated 20 years ago when the idea of a national DNA database was unfathomable.

You don’t have to, you brother, mother, sister, 1st cousin or uncle can, and then narrow it down to you.

Because when the kid turns 18, they are able to use these services without asking mom. The agreement is with the mother, not the child, even though this decision affects them. And what about the child’s children? It’s unrealistic to expect the agreement to stand across generations.

May I ask where you find these clothes? No snark, I’m just genuinely curious who makes them and where I can find them.

Because it’s a recreational league and it wasn’t a playoff game, the coach wanted to make sure as many girls got playing time as possible. Luckily, it ended up okay! 

Kaepernick didn’t sell out. Selling out means abandoning your standards. Promising to stop kneeling to get back on the team — that would be selling out.

My sister and I would pause the VHS when the spit bubble appeared. She was mesmerizing.

Did you say Claire Danes crying face??

Even when I was a teenager, the bit where Alcott breaks the fourth wall and speaks out to the readers all “Don’t laugh at the spinsters, girls, you never know what back story is going on there” made me think “and some of the spinsters are probably gay and perfectly happy living with their ‘room mate’, just saying”.

And sexy sexy Gabriel Byrne as Bhaer.
