you know whats worse than tumbears?

redditbears.

On one of the internet’s most popular, and notorious, sites, a new community is bringing together White gay men with ~~old fashioned tastes~~ internalized homophobia and a penchant for misogyny.

I fixed it.

Thank you :D

Slow the fuck down. This is more of this bullshit knee-jerk “masculine gay men interested in discussing manly stuff amongst themselves” = misogyny and internalized homophobia bullshit.

Uh-uh.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: To say that masculine gay men must have internalized homophobia is itself painfully homophobic; it implies that gay men are naturally more feminine than straight men, and to act otherwise would be to defy one’s true nature. While there is nothing wrong with being a feminine gay man, to assume that one gender expression is natural and the norm is wrong. If you are a gay man and believe this, you are not helping yourself. If you are not a gay man and you believe this, you are a shit ally and you need to stop. It’s not wrong for us to struggle against stereotypes, and one way for us to do that is to have the more masculine ones among us also point out that they exist. By showing that there is variety in our community, we allow ourselves to be seen as not just a cliche but actual humans by the world at large; not just the masculine ones, but all of us by virtue of the fact that now people know that they have to pay some fucking attention to actually know what we’re like before resorting to a tired cliche. “Maybe this guy likes drag and boxing! Maybe this one likes old cars and Cher. Maybe it’s he’s more feminine, maybe he’s more masculine, maybe it’s a mix, LET’S FIND OUT”

By the way, about the misogyny thing - and again, I’ve covered this before so sorry for people who follow me and have to see this again - labeling a lack of feminine traits and a desire to let it be known misogynistic is not only stupid but potentially damaging, because like the homophobia accusation you’re connecting the quality of enjoying stereotypically feminine pursuits with womanhood in and of itself. This is also wrong, as it reinforces gender roles. And nobody should be stuck in a gender role because that sucks ass.

By the way, I actually took a look at this subreddit and tried to find anything devious about it - maybe something condemning feminine gay men in there or something in the official rules and such.

What I found was this:

So uh. The people who run it pretty clearly are fine with having any given set of interests or being on any part of the masculinity-femininity spectrum, they just want to make sure the group stays on topic.

FEMME SHAMING! INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA! MISOGYNY!!!!11!!

(Side note: Is here-lies-andalusia implying that nonwhite gay men can’t be masculine? Because I’ve met plenty of guys down here who fit the “gaybro” mold and like a little time with others like them here and there. Hey, according to Redd’s standards even though I’m pale as fuck the fact that I’m Cuban makes me an oppressed PoC, so that must be embarrassing for them)

This is why Nick is better than all of you.

Copypasting these ones for emphasis.

Nights like these are the nights I love between me and him. its better when he is here, but as of now this is good enough. I love just laying in bed with him and watching TV shows. I don’t think there is any other way I would enjoy spending my nights.

So, I paint my nails pretty regularly these days. I also work as a barista/cashier pretty regularly these days. A few weeks back, I had a customer come in, a fairly typical, sheltered, suburban soccer mom, and she ordered a latte from me. She saw my brightly colored nails and said, “Wow, you’re so brave! My son asked me about painting his nails, and if it’s okay for boys to do that. Now I’ll tell him there’s a cool guy who does it too!” It was a nice moment, very cute.

Then, last week, she came in again, and said, “Hey, I’m so glad you’re here! I want you to meet someone!” She then brings her son forward, and says, “Okay sweetie, show him what you did!” And he throws his hands up, showing off his bright, sparkling blue nails. He shows them off, and I show mine off to him. He smiles. We fist bump.

Guys, I’ve only wanted to cry once at work before, and that was when someone ordered a large dry soy cappuccino on ice.

This time, though. This was a good cry.

THIS MAKeS ME SO HAPPY I”M GONNA EXPLODE

I pass by stuff like this all the time and think “my followers need to hear this” instead of reflecting on my own re-blogged advice. The people she’s talking about aren’t always maliciously or even intentionally not good for you, they just are. When you’re around you always lose something, money, gas, a piece of yourself- while never getting anything in return. Take a moment today to really think about what she means.

AMEN.

Release anything that no longer serves you. You know who these people are. You don’t even need to think that hard, you just know. Let go of them. Don’t carry unnecessary burden in your life. Let go of the toxic people in your life.

For me, this just reinforces why I have cut my mother out of my life. She has shown me she doesn’t care about me time and time again and I will not ever forgive her only to have her break my heart again.

thank u oprah

You can choose what kind of tree you want to become

Idk I just find this beautiful

just imagine cemeteries looking like this

a forest of living, changing, beautiful trees. I think a tombstone holds much more finality in death than a tree. It’s like you are living on symbolically through something greater than yourself.

this is a serious post about how much I want this. I’ll make sure my family knows.
