1) just because someone does not look ‘stereotypically’ queer it does not make them any less queer and their identity any less fucking valid

2) it’s so incredibly important to give people time and space to figure out their sexuality, with all the support they need, to not be pressured into coming out before they’re ready, to let people come out on THEIR terms

It’s disgusting, appalling and sickening to see the hate on Bukayo Saka’s Instagram. There’s no place for that kind of behaviour in football. This 19 year old has just played in his first major tournament — and in doing so, helped bring England to the final of the Euro’s, something they’ve NEVER been able to achieve before. He had the bravery and courage to stand up in front of the whole country (and a lot of Europe) and face the pressure of the British public and take a freaking PENALTY — HAVE I MENTIONED THAT HE’S 19???? and all people focus on is the fact that he missed that one penalty? not the rest of his performance?? Yes, it was THE crucial penalty, but as Lineker, Shearer, Lampard, Ferdinand — and I’m pretty sure Southgate and Kane said something along the same lines — everyone misses penalties at some point in their career, and it just so happened that Saka, along with Rashford and Sancho, missed their penalties in one of the most important matches of their careers.

Quite frankly, it makes me ashamed to be an England fan, because I cannot condone behaviour like that whatsoever.

basically variety interviewed anthony mackie and asked him about sam and bucky (the ship) and he said that he doesnt ship them. which is well within his rights to do lmao??? and he said a bunch of other stuff too which tbh he was 100% right about (how ppl fetishize men in mlm relationships (ESP men of colour ESP Black men) how right now the current status quo is to tokenize queer relationships but never actually commit faithfully to actual rep etc etc) and compound that variety took. all of his reasonable statements and kind of just smashed it together in the headline etc to make it look like he said that gay ships are inherently fetishistic and bad.

and white marvel twitter (and some of u on tumblr) have decided because of this its open season #anthonymackieiscancelled2021 which. is so embarrassing it takes what. one interview headline for you to show ur true colours? this man has consistently and openly supported the lgbt+ community he's been a fantastic fucking ally for years and years and the moment you are able to misconstrue his words for shock value you turn your back on him. it's literally not what he meant and you are all too eager to condemn this man. dont think we forgot that random unwarranted post last month where someone was like i think anthony mackie is homophobic because "he gives off those vibes" or something. we all know what "those vibes" mean for u
