I'm a criminal

Be crime, do gay

Im a straight guy but my performance is so bad it should be illegal.
- A running stereotype is that all queer people can dance, I can assure you that us not the case.
  My dancing skills would best be referred to as a slow motion full body seizure.
  
  But do your friends dance? Because if your friends don't dance, then ...

I can't even begin to imagine how it must feel to know that so many people on this planet would kill you just for existing...
- Unfortunately I know people who literally talk about how they're "just waiting for the orders" anytime queer people, homeless people, liberal politics in general come up.
  It's an incredibly shitty feeling. Going through life knowing that there are people literally down the road just waiting for the chance to brutally murder someone for loving someone.
  And I live in the US in an area commonly referred to as a blue state. Literally on the border of a major metro area.
  
  Jesus Christ, that sounds... insanely stressful and horrible...I don't even know what else to say, I'm truly sorry you have to go through that...
  
  I understand... I was sitting in an office next to someone who was watching Jan 6 live as it happened, and they were cheering occasionally.
  I work in government IT. It's terrifying that these kinds of people are everywhere.
- I've had people openly admit they think it's just and good that I'll go to hell for being queer. And the majority of my family follows the same doctrine, so... I don't think I even know how I feel about it tbh.
  
  the amount of bigoted dipshits confident that they're going through the pearly gates has me half convinced they're right and half convinced that i'm not missing out on a whole lot
  
  Oh, god, had my fair share of familial religious zealotry and it was bad enough when they didn't see me as entirely anathema to everything they'd been brainwashed into believing...
  I'm so very sorry you can't find shelter with the people who were supposed to protect and love you with everything in their power, the feeling of alienation from one's own family is loneliness like no other... I hope with all my heart that you've managed or will manage to find people who love you exactly as you are, people who bring you peace.

Me, just existing as a queer: 🎵BREAKIN' THE LAW! BREAKIN' THE LAW!🎵

Our queer siblings being horrifically abused doesn't make us cool or quirky, it's a tragedy.
- It is a tragedy
  And this is a shit post
  Sometimes you just have to laugh to not cry you know?
  
  I guess so. I do that with my own pain, I'd think people would be upset if I did it with theirs.

The time for the queer insurrection has come

edit: sorry for my answers, i was being an ass
i still stand by the fact that making "lol haha i'm illegal in X countries lmao" jokes is insensitive and shitty, but my language was unnecessarily edgy and abrasive.
there is much to criticize about white queerness, but that's not what i did
- If there are out gays who don't face much or any persecution, I would call that a victory for the cause worth celebrating! Remember Alan Turing. Remember Harvey Milk. Both of them were white gays who paid dearly for having the audacity to be themselves. Racism is unbecoming. It's divisive. I think it's important to show solidarity to all humans struggling to be themselves under oppressive systems.
- Gatekeeping bigotry is a heckin wild take
- Because no white queers are being raped, abused and murdered in conversion camps. Honestly, people like you who keep trying to segregate people with a mix of Oppression Olympics, "Reverse, punching up Racism"(Spoiler alert, that is just racism), and gatekeeping just to paint yourselves as poor, pearl-clutching victims.
  I hope some day you grow up and develop some kindness, people like you give us queers a bad rep. If you want to help people, do positive things and help, instead of just whining with a "You can't sit with us, you're the wrong color" sign.
