Honest to god I can’t understand anything any of them say.
It’s two gay guys using hockey terms to catcall the two presumably straight hockey players (riley and jonesy) who then counter by being comfortable enough to accept the compliments. The conversation then continues along to describe different words and terms for a variety of queer folk as if said words were also hockey players. So when they say a word got cut it’s merely a euphanism for people agreeing not to use that term. The whole scene is two (presumably straight) men being educated gently on the subject by two gay men and listening rather than bickering.
this dialogue is like something out of a greek drama it’s both downright melodic and utterly incomprehensible
Letterkenny is 100% the inheritor of Shakespeare’s legacy.
Miss Major, a Black trans woman who’s been an activist for LGBT communities for DECADES, has had her fundraiser up for FIVE YEARS by know, which is for her to be able to retire with dignity. Not with luxury, but with dignity.
We’re talking about a lady who was at Stonewall, the incident that the white kweers love to talk about. She’s dedicated her whole life to LGBT rights and other causes, she’s done WAY more for LGBT rights than a stupid white gay show could ever dream to do, and that if it actually isn’t a scam.
And that shit gets funded within two days? 15,000 in less than two fucking days and Miss Major hasn’t reached her goal of 200,000 since May 2013.
She’s at 117,991 dollars as of now, after more than five years.
If people had donated a little over 210 dollars each two days she’d be reaching her goal JUST NOW. If this Butch Pal thing fundraiser had been open for about the same time that Miss Major’s has, getting 15,000 each two days, in those same five years they’d get around 14,175,000 dollars.
If Miss Major had steadily received 15,000 dollars each two days, she would have reached her goal within less than a month.
But I guess an unrealistic dumb white show made by transmisogynists and antisemites who hate poor people and threat 17 years old kids for criticizing them is way more important than giving back to a woman who’s done so much for LGBT rights for such a long time.
Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.
Give op their hard-earned notes
Tbh I hear “partner” and assume gay, I didn’t know straights used it. Very fair point, OP
I hear ‘partner’ and think ‘gay’ too. A girl at work used it for months and I just went with it. When she would say ‘he’ I even thought maybe he was trans*. Anyways, someone using partner makes me more comfortable and I came out to her. She was just an intelligent straight girl that liked the term and was knowledgeable in human sexuality so definitely someone I should have felt comfortable coming out too. It’s a good sign of a straight person uses it IMO.
As a mental health clinician, this is actually my blanket term when discussing any romantic relationship. I agree it normalizes it, but I also think it’s a relatively safe term to use to describe most romantic relationships without making any assumptions about the person’s orientation or identity. I also use the word “partnered” when describing a monogamous relationship status.
The term “partner” also removes the implied hierarchy of boyfriend/girlfriend vs husband/wife. This is relevant both to non-monogamous people, and unmarried individuals for whom the importance of their relationship isn’t dictated by its legal status.
“everyone is bi” is such a fucking stupid naive perspective. by saying that, you’re disrespecting the struggles of bi people, you’re disrespecting gay people by saying they’d secretly be willing to “go straight,” and you’re giving entirely too much ground to straight homophobes.
if you genuinely believe that everyone is bi deep down (even if they don’t know it) i urge you to look at you 65 year old republican neighbor who spews homophobic bullshit on a daily basis, and then tell me again how he’s secretly a little bit into men. i urge you to talk to a lesbian or a gay man, especially one who’s been out for years or decades, and then tell me again how you know more about their sexuality than they do.
