#as much as i love lady gaga this is kinda true
Except it’s not true whatsoever. Lady Gaga is openly bisexual. So, she does belong in our community, and this guy’s bisexual erasure is fucking awful. Also - if you’re going to dismiss Lady Gaga as a gay icon because you think she’s a “straight white woman” (which is, yet again, false because Lady Gaga is bisexual), Kelly Rowland can be dismissed as well because she’s actually heterosexual.
Not only that, but saying things about how she doesn’t know what it’s like to be bullied because she’s a “white woman” is fucking bullshit. People get bullied all the time for a multitude of reasons, bullying isn’t something that’s exclusive to oppressed groups. Not to mention that women still *ARE* an oppressed group!
And while she may not be a spokesperson in the eyes of this guy, this guy also doesn’t speak for the entire LGBTQ+ community, so he needs to sit down and shut up before acting like his word is law.
White gay males are the largest population in the LGBTQ+ community, they hold the majority - but they don’t get to make the rules. They’re not the only ones oppressed, and they don’t even have it the worst. Try talking to any trans* people, or queer PoCs, or intersex and genderqueer people, or even most bisexual, asexual, or pansexual people. If you want to talk about marginalization and oppression - talk to them. In comparison, gay white males have it easy.
I’m not dismissing the issues that us white gay males deal with, because we still deal with oppression from a multitude of sources, but if we’re going to compare - then white gay males come out ahead in the “most privilege” race.
I’m not saying that there isn’t valid reason for disliking Lady Gaga - but this argument is terrible and doesn’t make a single valid point.
#REBLOGGING FOR THE COMMENTARY#I WANNA PUNCH THIS ASSHOLE IN THE FACE#ALSO NOTICE HOW HE ADDS PENIS AS A REQUIREMENT TO EVERYTHING#EVEN A LESBIAN NEEDS A PENIS APPARENTLY#SHUT THE FUCK UP MAN
FUCKING THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SAY ALL OF THIS UGHGHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE IT EVERY TIME THIS GIFSET COMES ON MY DASH
reblogging for the commentary. Thank you all for saying what I had been wanting to say but couldn’t find the words for.
I’m going to add to this, because it needs to be said, because I fit in a crap ton of “oppressed” groups. And as much as I absolutely love having the support from other plus sized/LGBTQ/black/female/geeks, you know what absolutely feels amazing?
WHEN PEOPLE IN THE “MAJORITY” ARE ON MY SIDE, TOO!
Events like PRIDE are to show that, hey, we are here, and be happy with who you are and, you know, for people who are the “majority” to accept the fact that we are here. HOW FUCKING BACKWARDS IS IT TO BASH SOMEONE WHO YOU FEEL DOESN’T BELONG IN THE GROUP?! ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO BASH SOMEONE SUPPORTING YOU BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE THEY DON’T FIT?! Besides the fact that, as the commenter said, Lady Gaga is bi so she “fits,” but let’s say she were a straight white woman.
THAT’S EVEN BETTER! BECAUSE THAT MEANS SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE GROUP IS ON OUR SIDE! ISN’T THAT WHAT WE WANT?! Don’t we want the ones who are still bellyaching about LGBTQ people to, you know, stop fusing about it and let us be happy? ISN’T THAT WHAT WE WANT?! So, you know, you would WANT THE STRAIGHT WHITE WOMAN TO COME OUT AND SAY, “ACCEPT THEM!” Instead, this guy is busy complaining. Complaining! Are you fucking kidding me?! THE MORE PEOPLE ON MY SIDE THE BETTER! You all bitch and complain about being bullied, what the hell do you think you’re doing right now?!
It’s like… being in a burning building and being picky about who comes to save you. "Sorry, rescuer, you don’t know what it feels like to run away from a fire, go and get a fire fighter who’s been trapped in a burning building.“
Sorry, just… this fucking irritates me beyond belief. "Ugh I wish people would just let me be me,” then someone comes out and says, “Hey, I want you to be you, you’re beautiful the way you are.” The response SHOULD NOT BE, “… no you’re a straight white woman you shouldn’t be saying that because you don’t get it.” Let. People. Support. You. Because. We. Want. Support. Do. NOT. BE. PICKY. ABOUT. WHERE. THAT. SUPPORT. COMES. FROM!
Well, to all the straight white women out there, from a plus sized black geeky woman who’s been dating a woman for 11 years: KEEP SINGING FOR ME, O.K?! I NEED YOUR SUPPORT AND LOVE GETTING IT! This sentiment goes to all of the white/straight/you know what who gives a fuck what your gender/race/sexual preference is, as long as you’re supporting the cause then you’ll get a smile from me.
