A Thought or Two

You and I already are and there is nothing worth listening to that says otherwise.

STOP MAKING ME LOVE YOU TOM HIDDLESTON

FUCKINGSTOP

SKLJFASLKDFJKALDSJFKLASDJF OMG.

Ok, no but seriously. Even though this is just another reason to love this man, I am so incredibly happy that actors are starting to come out with this stuff. Lara Pulver is anti-labels, now Hiddles, there was that bit (mostly rumor) about Raven.

This may all seem like “well, great, whatever, they’re just realizing what we already knew”. But no, guys. This is so good. Because once you get public figures making statements like that, people start talking about it, and people start opening their minds to it.

If Benedict Cumberbatch can inspire people to be actors, if numerous, numerous other actors can inspire that creativity, can inspire philanthropy, etc., then actors can also inspire tolerance and the widening of our concepts. A lot of people say we shouldn’t give much attention to it because then it makes all the labels and everything that much more obvious. But until we do finally accept everyone, no matter who they are, and forget about labels, when none of it matters anymore, we have to show that it’s okay to think this way. People listen to those in the media. And our Congress, our politicians, parliaments, you name it, they certainly are not going to start talking about this until it becomes something everyone knows. People know and understand what being gay means - even if they are assholes and don’t support it. But people don’t understand the gray areas - they don’t understand that you can go without labels, or you can apply more than one to yourself.

So every time I hear someone else I admire in the public spotlight talk about this, it just makes me so happy. The first step is embracing it. The next is spreading it and fighting for tolerance. For everyone.

Yeah pan sexual isn’t the same as bisexual. From what he said he sounds pan sexual not bisexual. But like you said, no labels.

LGBTQ* Voice, Insight and Stance

Robyn Ochs of Bisexual Resources: 

ON OPPRESSION: Some folks say that bisexuals are not oppressed because at least we are accepted by mainstream society when we are involved with members of the opposite sex. Agreed, society may like us when we show that piece of who we are. But conditional acceptance is not really acceptance at all. When we show our other side, our gay side, we suffer the same discrimination as other gay men and lesbians. We don’t lose only half our children in custody battles. When homophobia hits, we don’t get just half fired from our jobs (put on half time, perhaps?). We don’t get just half gaybashed when we are out with our same-sex lovers (“Oh please, only hit me on my left side. You see, I’m bisexual!’). We, too, get discriminated against because we are gay.

But hay we have the moral superiority, so its OK.
