You seem pretty smart but I don't understand why you keep shipping John with Sherlock when John married Mary. A woman.

streetsofshame answered:

Oh my gOD, YOU’RE RIGHT! John married a woman. How can I have kept shipping him with Sherlock when John married a woman? He’s not gay.

Not gay equals straight.

Marriages are forever.

Look at my life, look at my decisions!

We need more queer genre movies.

Give me gay action heroes and lesbian super-spies and genderqueer androids and trans werewolves. Give me bisexual pirates and lesbian detectives and queer spaceship captains. Give me pansexual space cowboys and queer elves and lesbian mermaids. I want them all. Because “LGBT” should not be a genre in its own right.

not to mention that we don’t see a genre called heterosexual because, from the “outside” point of view, that is considered normal so it doesn’t need an specific genre. that’s bullshit. we are normal, too, if you didn’t noticed that yet. we don’t want an specific genre, we want to be included in genres in which the characters are known for their acts of heroism and all that jazz, not just for whom they love, and whom they like to have sex with, alright? actually, scratch want, we deserve it.

pansexual space cowboys i want that part give it to me GIVE IT TO ME yasss lgbtqiap

How do we talk about queer characters in richer, less dismissive ways? I’m not sure. It’s hard. Which is why the conversation that Talley started is so important.

One approach might be to include identity cues while also talking about what characters do in the story. This manages to not erase or minimize or dismiss queerness while also making for a better description. Not “an astronaut who happens to be gay” but “a gay astronaut who goes to Mars.” Not “a teenager who happens to be a lesbian” but “a lesbian teenager who runs for student council president.” Not “a woman who happens to be trans” but “a trans woman who falls in love with a cowboy.” Aren’t those fuller, richer, more interesting alternatives?
