ohh @imperialiceman
@IrrationalPepsi as a member of the LGBTQ community, I am personally not offended. A lot of people are, though, so I definitely don’t speak on behalf of everyone. But generally, when people say LGBTQ, they do mean both queer and questioning. (At least the people I know do.)
Imbeciles.
why do you say that? @Giovuhnni
That’s so offensive. Like I’ve only heard that being used as an insult.
I think that generally, outside the LGBTQ+ (Is that right? They keep adding more letters) it is considered an insult. If somebody called me a queer, I wouldn’t get super offended. It is almost just another rude name to call people (outside the community).
Just looked it up…apparently, if you want to get really politically correct and encompass all sexual orientations/gender identities, you should use LGBTQQIP2SAA. I would love to hear Obama use that one in a speech xD
Might be.
And yeah I would too :))
I don’t think queer is offensive. It’s a reclaimed term (at least that’s how it’s considered at my GSA) that is easy to use as a blanket. My locker neighbor is gay. We greet each other with “gay bae” and “queer dear.” It does depend a lot on the individual. But as an asexual biromantic, queer is just easier.
In “Brave New World,” there’s a quote, “Lenina found the whole thing oppressively queer,” or something like that, and it makes me laugh every time.
If people ask, I say:
-asexual biromantic
-queer
-lgbtq+
-gay*
-cake person according to tumblr
But as a whole, I’m proud of my queerness 8->
@stefanmichael I’m not out to most of the people at school, so keep quiet on that, OK?
Haha okay. It is definitely used as a derogatory term, especially when someone else is using it against you that is not within your group. If you’re wondering, I am straight, but I do support all things LGBTQ+.
I’m not part of my school’s SAGA (Sexuality And Gender Acceptance) club, because it meets at the same time as Debate, but I have a lot of friends in SAGA and I participate in their awareness weeks (when I remember to nwrear certain colors).
Kind of upset.
The “What pops into your head” thread is closed. -_-
cries but whyyyyyyy?
I don’t mind gay people but it isn’t really something that i would want to see
You sound like my aunt.
“I don’t have anything against gay people but I don’t want them near me”
@Giovuhnni
Don’t you hate your aunt?
If that person still wants to know college lists…
UPenn-Wharton (ED)
Stanford
Yale
MIT?
UChicago
UC Berkeley
Duke?
Vanderbilt
UNC Chapel Hill?
WashU?
USC?
UCLA?
That’s what I’ve looked closely into so far, anyways…three years away from getting my letters and I’m already stressed out about the results. :-c
And thank god that my school does GPA by final grades and doesn’t factor in percentage (an A is an A is an A). I have straight As right now but I have like five 92%s. Is anyone else in FBLA? What’re you doing? I’m doing Introduction to Financial Math…
So, I just found out that class rank at my school is probably determined by numerical average… frick. I’m going for a 98 weighted, in that case, but crud.
lol i’m not like that @Giovuhnni
