No seriously can we have like a day or at least something dedicated to our own history because there’s a problem here on tumblr where:

• People are genuinely and conciously denying the fact that queer is a slur.
• People unaware of why marriage equality is actually important.
• People are so unaware of the AIDS crisis that “A movie where the zombie virus is transmitted sexually” sounds like “a neat oppertunity for ace representation” and not “Regan-era Anti-Gay Propraganda”
• People are unaware that Homosexual” is a derogatory term used to pathologize gay people. It does not refer to “sexual attraction”, and should NOT be used to describe somebody else’s orientation.
• EDIT: Better sources on this one: GLAAD Media Reference, “For Many Gays and Lesbians, the Term ‘Homosexual’ is Flinch-Worthy“
