Let me preface this by saying that I am calm.
…But hold on, interpreting your totally-not-human-men supernatural characters as gay “robs men of intimate affection outside of romantic context,” huh? If they’re not men, why would reading them as gay rob men of anything, Neil? And why are you sincerely arguing that society has robbed men of the ability to express intimate affection when, categorically, the most represented relationship in popular media is platonic friendship between men? Gee, dude, should have spent a little more time weaving together the threads of that gossamer-thin wisp of a veil for your flagrant homophobia!Īh, but wait, his characters can be trans! Not trans in the icky “transitioning from one gender to another” sense, like the real-world oppressed people who desperately need validation and representation from popular media, but, like, the snake-to-demon sense.Ĩ.

The two main characters of your TV show, who appear at all times as human men, who look, speak, and act like human men, who are played by real-life human men Michael Sheen and David Tennant, are not human men, but supernatural creatures, and therefore, nobody is allowed to interpret them as gay.
Fuck gay pride month series#
I haven’t watched Good Omens, the new TV series based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s novel of the same name - but why would I watch anything when watching Neil Gaiman engage in endless acts of homophobic dipshittery is infinitely more entertaining? This is absolutely a real thing that is happening and definitely a major cause for concern in an epoch where Donald Trump would be, like, openly murdering queers on the street if he could get away with it. I agree, John! Transgender children have had it too good for too long! We need to vigorously reinforce gender normativity on gender non-conforming children so they can endure years of brutal repression and then, in adulthood, once irreversible secondary sex characteristics have taken root, they can experience social rejection, grinding poverty, and epidemic mental illness and suicidality! Hell yeah! The real bigots are the many, many, many parents who are not only comfortable with their infant sons wearing dresses, but inclined to drag said sons kicking and screaming, against their will, to a Big Trans clinic for immediate gender reassignment surgery.
Without further ado, from least to most serious, here are the Top Ten Crab People of Pride Month 2019: 10.
Fuck gay pride month full#
In a month full of miserable nonsense, these ten things stood out as especially miserable and nonsensical. If Pride - and notice how it’s only “Pride” now, not “Gay Pride” or “Queer Pride” or even “LGBT Pride,” but the safe, sanitized, corporate-friendly “Pride” - continues to be a parade of Budweiser floats drenched in rainbows and driven by Crab People, then, sincerely: what the fuck is the point of Pride?Īnd why, two years into the fucking Trump administration, when our rights are under serious, potentially world-ending attack, is this what Pride looks like? Doesn’t this moment of crisis demand more than white Skittles and fourth-rate Taylor Swift jingles?
It sucked in a monumental, cataclysmic way, sucked in a way that demands all people of conscience to ask how we can keep anything like it from ever happening again. But perhaps more importantly, the first Pride was a fun, casual night on the town that went up in flames because straight people didn’t know when to mind their fucking business and back the fuck off.Īnd in that sense, this year’s Pride Month was a fitting tribute. And that’s true, insofar as modern Pride commemorates the uprising at Stonewall and the throwing, en masse, of bricks at cops. It’s often said that the first Pride was a riot.
