Queer trash

Sex education should include all genders and sexual orientations. We’re partnering with Advocates for Youth, Answer, GLSEN, HRC & SIECUS to call for sex ed that’s LGBTQ-inclusive.

“Homophobia/biphobia/transphobia isn’t real-”

Yeah, because straight people feel they’re broken or there’s something wrong with them because they don’t feel the same as other people

Because straight people don’t know about their sexuality until they’re old (unless they are lucky) because straightness* is barely visible

Because straightness* is seen as symptom of a mentally illness and/or as the result of a mentally illness

[tw sexual abuse] Because straight people are told they’re that way because of (usually sexual) trauma

[tw sexual abuse] Because sexually abused straight people have their straightness* invalidated because of the trauma-> “you have been sexually abused? Oh that explains why you say/think you are straight”

Because straight people lose friendships because friends can’t accept their straightness*

Because straight people only know one or two straight people irl, if they know any

[tw sexual abuse] Because straight people are afraid of coming out, not only due to fear of rejection but also of being sexually abused because of people who think their straightness* can be fixed with sex

Because straight people are told that “straightness*” isn’t a thing"

Because straight people are told ^^^ and mocked even in supposed safe-spaces for them (ltgb+ community)

Because being straight makes you unhappy because of all the romantic and sexual ideals society tells you you must pursue

Because straight people are invisible

Because straight people are told they haven’t found the right person

Yeah, you have convinced me, aro-ace and straight people are obviously the same

tl;dr: saying that aro-ace people are straight people is bs since the experiences of aro-ace people and straight people are vastly different.

Post data: most of the examples have been experienced by me, an ace gray-aro person, but ace-spec or aro-spec people can also experience these things, regardless of their other orientation, so hetero-romantic aces and hetero-sexual aros are also affected by these things.

Like, bruh, lady, sweetheart do you know how many racist gay men there are? How many biphobic gay people? Transphobic cis gays/lesbians/bisexuals there are? Do you know how many biphobic pansexuals or panphobic bisexuals exist?

Are you going to deny all of them into the community because if so you would have to literally deny the whole community from being in the community, all because some are shitty.
