I wish butch lesbians would hide in my toaster and reveal themselves at suitably dramatic moments.
no offense but when straight people tell me “i’m proud of my sexuality” i groan. of course you’re proud of your sexuality, you didn’t grow up being constantly told your sexuality was disgusting and shameful. you didn’t grow up thinking your sexuality didn’t exist. you didn’t grow up wondering if your family would still want you if you told them you had a crush on someone with the same gender as you. since you were a child people told you your sexuality was normal, and beautiful. you got to grow up seeing people with the same sexuality as you. you knew since day one your sexuality was normal. no fucking shit you’re proud of your sexuality.
