i am mentally divergent

People can be ignorant fucks sometimes and it pisses me off. I am bi. I love being gay. I know gay people. I want to love both men and women. I have no problem with it. I’m not going to contaminate you with a disease. I also have insights on being gay that people that are straight might not understand. So when I make a “gay joke about gender roles” I sorta know what I mean. I’m not pulling these ideas out of my ass. I’m speaking from experience. Deal with it. I want to scream/curl-up-in-bed-and-sob at how ignorant and offensive people can be. 

Hi, thanks for the passive aggressive post about me.

Just so you know, I’m bisexual. I have been active in queer activism and feminism longer than you have been alive. I am in a polyamourous open relationship. I fuck who I like, when I like. I volunteer for a host of LGBT groups and help to spread awareness and education. Queer is my life. Again, it has been since before you were alive. 

I’m not ignorant and I responded to your ask here. In addition to my education, I have the life experience to prove just how not ignorant I am. I suggest picking up a book or again, using Google. 

I hate to say this but you’re the one being ignorant. Someone called you out on your heterosexist bullshit. Instead of sitting back and thinking maybe you were being offensive, you chose instead to call someone with a whole lot more experience and background than you ignorant.

By the way, the “I have a gay friend” or “I know gay people” thing is not an excuse to be an asshole and use heterosexist language. It’s like a racist who refuses to accept they are a racist because “they have a black friend”.

I’m a woman of color and frankly, your passive aggressive childishness and calling me ignorant is not going to be enough to shut me up. I’ve dealt with a whole lot worse clueless people than you.

Go educate yourself instead of playing the victim.
