The LGBTQ+ Community Chat :)

I'm having strong feelings. Not dysphoria exactly but adjacent. My new perfume came in the mail today and while I'm super happy excited about it my brain is like nO you're a MAN you gotta do MAN things. Not that I know what man things are I'm just. Being.

Listen my guy, if cis men can do feminine things and still be men, then trans men can do feminine things and still be men. You get to define what masculinity is to you. If that involves perfume, that's great, personally I think everyone should smell good. Smelling good is a gender neutral fad.

Yeah I do take good care of my personal hygiene, don't worry.

Wait was that too much information because if so I'm sorry.

Unpopular opinion: Men who smell like flowers/roses, fresh baked pastries, vanilla, chocolate, and the like are so much more “manly” and attractive than guys who smell like sandalwood, gun ranges, and crippling alcoholism

"Smells good" is way up there on the cuddle-able checklist

Well good cuz I want cuddles. I need a hug.

Alright, I'm gonna take another break.
I'm in a mood so either I come back tommorow or I don't.
Toodles

Oof I don’t have any band tea yet. Oh wait actually I do
We have these like theme days for camp and my section went as Star Wars characters and I was Obi-Wan and actually took the time to draw a beard on my face and it made me feel hella valid idk

Good for you bro that's valid as hell.

Thanks bro

Parents: you know it was the citizens' homosexuality that caused the fall of Rome

Me:

We need answers what does this mean

it's kind of a scam ngl

What does that even mean

My parents are of the belief that homosexuality is one of the reasons why God would destroy a city. They think that since Rome normalized being gay (which, they didn't really) God let it fall. A lot of evangelical Christians believe that before Rome, Sodom was destroyed because it was a "gay city" (hence the modern definition of the word sodomy) even though Ezekiel 16:49 literally says exactly what was wrong with Sodom-
"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."

So you know, eat the rich.

Also, if you guys ever need good bible based comebacks for when Mean Christians™ attack you for your gender or sexuality, hit me up.

Also wasn't there something about the people of Sodom (or maybe the other city, the one whose name I can't spell lol) getting super pissy over Lot inviting in the angels?

TW, gang rape

Yeah that's like the main story.
It went like this

2 male looking angles: arrive as companions

Citizens of Sodom: get the f*ck outta here

Lot: you are kinda weird, but is ok come on in. You can stay at my place :)

Angels: t h a n k s 👌

Citizens of Sodom: rally around Lot's house HEY ANGLES, GET OUT HERE WE GONNA R*PE YOU

Lot: Heyyy thats fucked up. Listen, I'd rather you r*pe my daughters cuz I've pledged to protecc these boyos.

Sodomites: you know what? We're coming after all of you now.

Angels: GET INSIDE pulls Lot back inside. This town is whack, you guys should run away cuz we finna destroy the place now that we've seen they're all a bunch of r*pists

Lot: o h okay

(Taken from the OHCBT, Owen's Hip and Cool Bible Translation)

So that's the main story.
It's kinda funny that the Sodomites saw two men. Probably weird looking ones at that. Since they're angels. Perhaps we could even say queer looking. Two queer looking men. Arrive in a city together. And get threatened with gang r*pe. Is that not a story the LGBTQ community is all too familiar with?

And people try to twist the story and say that the Sodomites were the evil gays. Pft.

Overall, Sodom was destroyed because they were pervy and showed no hospitality, which was important in ancient Middle Eastern culture.

Can you PLEASE re-write the bible exactly like that because I would 100% actually read it lol

Lol ~perhaps~

Fun fact! This salt/mineral pillar near the Dead Sea on Mount Sodom is nicknamed "Lot's wife" as an allusion to that story.
