my ace/lesbian friend went to a pride festival today!!! im super happy for her!!!
the shitty part is that she left an hour in because she was scared of getting punched. for carrying an ace flag. at pride.
someone threatened her. at pride. because she was ace.
i dont wanna dabble in ~discourse~ but hey!!! maybe don’t make people scared of the community that should make them feel safe!!!! thats my hot take!!!!
yes i know she was a lesbian, and she should’ve been at pride for being a LESBIAN not an asexual. @applejuicewerewolf i saw she’s a lesbian, but did you see the part where i said what that person did was wrong?? i guess not. i’m saying it’s wrong, but what she did was also wrong. and i don’t hate ace people. they’re just not lgbt.
you guys seeing this shit
Love how people are saying “Well aces make people uncomfortable” when the fact of the matter is someone THREATENED HER for being ace REGARDLESS of being a lesbian.
And op added in the notes that their(?) friend was also wearing a lesbian flag shirt. So it would have been pretty fucking obvious this person was also a lesbian, since they were wearing the ace flag as a cape (and presumably didn’t have any sort of jacket on).
But, hey, I guess aces shouldn’t be welcomed at pride, even the ~otherwise lgbt~ ones. (/s)
Any holy shit, look at the fucking notes. Rebel/blaze is there saying that this ace lesbian shouldn’t have been threatened but that she shouldn’t have been celebrating the ace part of her identity because that’s “not appropriate” and is bound to make lgbt people feel unsafe.
But it’s only about the cishets, right?
More evidence that aphobes and other exclusionists are just more authoritarians that want to police the ingroup to the point of violence.
Authoritarianism is trash, just like aphobia and exclusionism.
