Oh god...
My friends, I just read through the whole Miley thread. I really had a lump in my throat and it hurt me so bad to read so much hate.
I'm starting to think that THIS base here is the only thread I can comfortably say that I'm a lesbian (Some Cher fans/stans seem to be quite nice too, I just need to get to know them a bit better). The thing most people don't get is:
There is a HUGE difference between homophobia towards gay men and lesbophobia.
I'm a lesbian, a gay girl, and a proud one. I love, respect and support ALL the colours of the rainbow, if it's gay men, bisexual men and women, transgendered people, transsexual people, queer people etc. and not only the lesbian community. I mean, why wouldn't I? We are ALL sitting in the SAME DAMN BOAT.
Sometimes I cut my hair short, because I like it. Sometimes I let it grow longer if I feel like it. Sometimes I do dress androgynously, sometimes I like to be feminine, and from my character I would say I am more feminine, although I hate that black and white bull****. What's feminine and what's masculine anyway? I hate gender binary and sexism. What I do love are PEOPLE. I think I'm a loving person and I like to put some positivity and loving words out there because there is too much hate and negativity in this world. I smile at strangers. I think my posts are well thought of and I think, that although English isn't my native language that I can get my points across in a fair and respectful way.
What I find so sad is, that I actually LOVE gay men to death, and reading posts from some dudes who ARE gay themselves on here makes me think that all the gays on here are mean. I know they aren't all the same, I know most of this base are gay men and you guys are so unbelievably lovely to your only lesbian
- I just REALLY want to STILL find the good in some pressed people outside of this thread.
What I want you guys to do is: If we have a situation similar to the Miley thread again next time, DRAG ME TO THIS THREAD and I will come out to everyone as a lesbian P!nk stan and try to tell people that we P!nk stans are loving people actually. I want to tell them that I AM a lesbian, yes, but that I DON'T look like a "man", and even if I did I would ask them what would be so wrong and awful about that. I don't want to throw shade or drag anyone, I want to ask those peoples some questions. I want to call for sanity. I REALLY want to make a DIFFERENCE in those people and make them THINK. Not more, not less. Maybe some day, some of us who are now fighting on here can finally get along somehow.
Call me a hippie if you want to. I know that almost no one of all the people on here have ever met nor will they ever meet personally, but I think it's good to show some love, also and maybe especially to strangers, even if they are mean and vile. I just want to bring a bit more sanity and love to this board. I'm not perfect in any way. I'm not saying I'm better then others. I also do throw shade left and right and drag sometimes, but nevertheless, most of the "stan wars" on here are useless and a waste of time. Everyone has their own special reason why they are stanning for someone. Just think before you post. This applies to everyone on here and to everyone on this board. Writing something nice, even if people are mean, can make a difference in the other person's day, when maybe they had a bad day or what, you don't know what someone is going through, and people are insulting not only each others' faves but also each other. I mean, our faves don't even care about what we post on here, so...
It's just the way we express each others as stans, we don't actually HELP our faves in any way when we post some stanning stuff about them here, we just show that we love them and why.
God I'm getting ahead of myself
The bottom line is: Make love, not war. Be kind to one another (queen Ellen is right!), and try to stay calm and nice even if there are pressed haters.... who knows why they type what they type. It's easy to bully people you don't know in real life, but especially in THIS case we all have to think more about what we type.
I love you guys.
Just don't let them haters get to you.
That's all.
PS: I would've loved to post something like this in the Miley thread but I was too late.
I love this base so much.
