i’m about to cry
my brother told me that only today he found out that LGBT stood for les/gay/bi/trans instead of lettuce green bacon tomato
he looked at me and he had tears in his eyes and he said in the most horrified voice
i’ve been telling people i like LGBT sandwiches okay that means i’ve been having gay sandwiches
then he started to cry and ran off and yelled
they all think i’ve had gay threesomes!!!!!
i’m actually crying omg
I hate the inconsistency in this show. In Season 2 Dean tells a man he does not swing that way but then from Season 4-7 he swings so hard that way that he breaks the space time continuum.
So tired of it.
Because seriously, nobody batted an eye when I was little and walked out of the theater after seeing Toy Story proclaiming, “Woody is so cool! I want to be just like him!”
Nobody cared that I was a little girl looking up to a male character. Not a single person would have been upset if I wanted a Sully toy, or if I admired Simba more than Nala. No parents said to their daughters, “No, I’m not taking you to see Up! because there’s no females for you to look up to!”
Because as long as it was men being awesome, parents decided that our kids could see through typical gender stereotypes. They decided, “my kid can learn something from this film even though she is a girl and that character is a boy.”
But as soon as the roles are reversed everyone is up in arms about it. Well that’s nonsense. Because if you’re really not sexist, you’ll realize that it’s just as fine for your daughter to like Finding Nemo as it is for your son to like Brave.
So get off your sexist pedestal, stop complaining, and take your son to see Brave. And hope to all that is holy that he learns something from it…like how to fight against the current patriarchal system. Because he sure as hell isn’t going to learn that from you.
