Sometimes we don’t have to look too far to find the people who persecute members of the LGBTQ+ Community(s).

"EW! Gay old people!" (but only for things on TV)

"Bisexuals are just greedy" - used against me

"You`re too young to know you`re queer" I used this against myself

"Bisexuality is just a phase" - against myself as well, and the reason why my first time was so late - I had come to enjoy being bisexual and was afraid that if I have sex I`ll become completely straight or gay

"Bisexuals will always cheat" - why one of my girlfriends broke up with me

"Transgender people are not real men/women" - heard it so many times and always have to defend the choices of the transgender person

So true. I reckon had about 5 used against me and used about...9?! That's if I go back to my teens, bit by bit shed the blinkered ideas about gender mainly. Really mad at Germaine Greer now for being so off-the-mark on gender. And FGM. *sigh* Only realized internalized biphobia/homophobia was real and real affected me quite recently. Polyamory I still struggle with - combo of
-Bisexuals will always cheat - Bisexuals are greedy
+
- You're obliged to set a good example
leading to reaction against polyamory
But life etc, always learning, if I can get over the fear/self hate thing of the cheating+ greedy stereotypes.

glad you like it, we are just signal boosting so can't take credit for all the brilliance, it's a meme that's "going around"
