[Image ID: A lineless digital drawing of the Pokémon Chi-Yu, stylized with simple highlighting on the fish’s visible eye and the beads around it and a subtle gradient on its body, shifting from more orange on its belly to more yellow at its top. The Pokémon is posed as if it’s swimming upward. The background consists of two wavy, bright orange lava streams on solid black, and they and the fish are framed by little orange sparks. End ID]

It’s not more inclusive, and if your excuse of using a slur as a blanket term is “it’s faster to say”, GENUINELY what is wrong with you

Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.

I’m here, I’m queer, go fuck yourself.

I did not get my degree in queer literature for you all to keep pulling this bullshit.

we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.

The reason people are upset about the word queer is that it’s a unifying term. You can say you’re queer and all people will know is that you’re part of the community. But you can’t say you’re LGBT, you have to say you’re gay or trans or ace. They don’t want you to be ambiguously queer. They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.

Denizens of tumblr, the answers you seek often lay in the tags or the image descriptions…

and good for him. he was a pretty big star at the time, Kate was almost an unknown, and James Cameron was, yanno, himself. so for Billy to stick up for her and respect her like that was very based and sexy.

Enough.
