·      Day 26 - Your favorite gay joke (we all need to laugh at ourselves).

I was fucking this guy in the ass, feeling pretty good, thought I’d give a reach-around.  I grabbed his dick and he had a hard-on.  So I thought, “Hey, this guy is a fag!”

Not real positive, but still cracks me up.

·      Day 25 - The LGBT slur you hate most or if you’ve taken back a slur and used it as a definition, ie queer or fag.

Fencesitter, nothing gets the angry Bi in me out faster than being told I’m sitting on the fence.  I did recently think about trying to turn it into a Bi-positive joke after North Carolina Pastor Charles Worley made a suggestion that all the gays and lesbians be put behind fences. 

I seriously thought about asking if us Bisexuals would be forced to sit on that fence.

If trans* people tell you something you’ve done is transphobic -

If people of color tell you something you’ve done is racist -

If women tell you something you’ve done is sexist -

If queer people tell you something you’ve done is homophobic -

If disabled people tell you something you’ve done is ableist -

If any oppressed group tells you that something you’ve done is oppressive -

- then you fucking.  Don’t.  Do.  It.  Again.

Why restrict it at all?  If anyone tells you something is offensive, Don’t Do It!

I’m sure just from the title some of you are ready to accuse me of being racist, or maybe just yell at me about my privilege (of course I’ve got privilege, everyone does), but if you read this post and tell me where I’m wrong I’ll gladly change my opinion.  But if you just attack me I will ignore you.

I’ve been getting annoyed at the attitude of some people when they claim that it’s impossible for a POC to be racist.  Their claim usually includes some definition that racism requires institutional power.  I’ve checked several online dictionaries and couldn’t find one that said a racist has to be of a race that holds any power.

And even if the definition is currently changing and the dictionaries haven’t caught up with the meaning yet that doesn’t mean that non-whites cannot be racist.  I’ve worked under quite a few African American bosses, they had power over me, they could have fired me, refused promotions, affected my pay, and otherwise made my life difficult.  If they would have, and if their reason was my race, would that be racism under your definition?

Add to that the growing number of POC in prominent business and political positions.  I’m not claiming that any of them are racist, but if any of them came out and said that any race was inferior than I would call them on it (as I would any white person).

One more thing I’d like to add before posting this.  Just because I point out that someone says something that sound racist, doesn’t mean that I think that is as bad as what has been directed at black people, or any other minority group.  For example, I’m sorry all these are a bit old and some of you may not have heard of some of these, when Jesse Jackson called New York “Hymietown” that was racist. But I would never claim that it was as bad as Jim Crow laws or cases of lynchings of blacks.  But I would also say it is worse that when Jimmy the Greek was fired for his comments about black athletes.

Just because some instances of racism are worse than others doesn’t mean we should have to accept any of them.

Maybe if society hadn’t taught me enjoying sex wasn’t infantile.  Not my fault. 

I’m 46 and still have the same problem, Your probably are right on the reason.  Sex still feels like something we are getting away with doing and at some point a grown up will show up and tell us to stop.

·      Day 24 - The stupidest argument/comment you’ve heard about gay people or an LGBT issue.

Wow I’m behind on these, but I’m going to finish the Challenge no matter how late they run.

This is sort of a toss up between the “God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” (do I really need to answer that one) and the standard biphope argument “You can’t like both, you need to choose a side”  (I can, and do, like both men and women.  This is like saying you can’t like both cake and pie.)

Did you know that some high schools are teaching DRIVER’S ED??? Everyone knows the only way to prevent car accidents is to never drive! Learning safe driving techniques is just the slippery slope to all kinds of dangerous behaviors!

I want in on this one, did you know that if we can stop people from buying houses, we can eliminate deaths from home fires in a single generation.

In response to this bullshit:

http://orbitingasupernova.tumblr.com/post/23649154029/bisexuality-in-doctor-who-and-the-queerbaiting-antics

“The problem is that otherwise, River’s queerness seems to drift away into the Time Vortex. In fact, one might even say that River Song is Doctorsexual, since she only ever seems to show interest in him. I understand why we get very little insight into River’s life outside of the Doctor, but I don’t have to like it—we don’t see her dating, falling in love, sleeping with anyone who would give credence to that label of bisexuality. Nothing. “

Never mind the fact that tons of bisexuals are in monogamous relationships, River has to PROVE her queerness!

Before when we thought she was straight she was just a character. But now that she’s bisexual she’s a REPRESENTATIVE. She has to REPRESENT ALL BISEXUALS AND DO IT WELL. She has to PROVE WHAT MOFFAT THINKS A BISEXUAL IS. She has to DEFINE HER SEXUALITY and GOD FORBID she should pass as straight by having a monogamous relationship with a man because then she doesn’t count because she isn’t actively demonstrating her queerness. Or, sorry, “giving credence to that label of bisexuality”.

I’m sorry but two things: in fiction and in the real world a person’s sexuality is not defined by who they’re currently shagging. There’s an awesome little cartoon that addresses that here: http://erikamoen.com/comics/queer/nggallery/image/queer-english-version/

Secondly, the point of River’s character is to be a fucking character, not to represent all bisexuals in the most diversely accurate way possible. She doesn’t have to prove her queerness and nor does anybody. She doesn’t have to conform to the polar opposite of every stereotype so that people don’t get the wrong ideas about bisexuals. And just as if I am in a monogamous relationship with a man that does not make me straight and if I’m single that does not make me asexual, River being ‘doctor-sexual’ does not make her a bad bisexual or a bad representation of bisexuals or not a bisexual. So fuck you.

“the Doctor sees a lot of negative bi stereotypes in Miss Song—hypersexuality (every single appearance), flightiness (she doesn’t stick around), bisexuality as a phase (she gets a bit of freedom and goes wild in the Library), incapable of monogamy (see: the Library), yay threesomes (telling her father that she fucked the Doctor and a clone of his for her birthday), etc. “

Dude you are JUST AFTER saying that River is ‘Doctor-sexual’. She can’t be monogamous with a man because then she’s not giving credence to the bisexuality label and she can’t be polyamorous with both genders because then she’s a bisexual stereotype (despite the fact that both of these are perfectly realistic, consistent and perfectly fine behaviours). She can’t be sexually charged because then she’s a bisexual stereotype, yet if she was only interested in the romantic side of things I’d bet any amount of money you lot would be onto her for being a female-stereotype. And why shouldn’t she be any of these things? As personality traits they a) are perfectly realistic and b) do not define her. And it bugs me that if she were straight male character you wouldn’t have a problem with any of her behaviour because that would just be the character’s personality, but because she’s a bi female her behaviour is down to the bisexuality. 

if he didn’t really think about it and was like, “Oh shit I don’t have any real recurring queer characters in my run… uhhhh RIVER! THERE WAS THAT JOKE ABOUT THE FANCYING AND THE SEX, RIGHT??? CANON!” that is what we call queerbaiting. And Steven Moffat: Master Queerbaiter loves doing it—Johnlock, Eleven/Rory, River being a male gaze-y biseuxal, those random few queer characters from AGMGTW who never showed up again ‘cause one of them fucking died, etc. 

Queerbaiting is what most shows with (predominantly white) male leads do. Put a little gay subtext in there to stir up interest, and then every so often go to the press, shout NO HOMO NO HOMO NO HOMO at the interviewer, and everything is fine.

How in god’s name is river a ‘male-gazey bisexual’? She’s just a bisexual. Also as far as I can see…the two gay couples in AGMGTW WERE GAY there was nothing no-homo about that at all. Canton was gay/bi/pan, again THERE WAS NO SUBTEXT OR NO-HOMO ABOUT IT he was an out-and-out non-straight guy. So I’m sorry but right now I really don’t get the big fucking deal except that it’s blatantly obvious you’re determined to find something offensive in this and willing to analyse it to hell until you do.

EDIT: Oh and a few more things, though god knows why I’m wasting more time replying to an essay that ends ‘stop being a piece of shit’. Firstly if you got the idea that she was a little bit queer then obviously you must know there was something implicit in the script (actually I know there was, in SITL and in TWORS) unless you honestly thought “Oh, she lived in the same century as Captain Jack so she must be queer as well!” In which case I really am wasting my time here.

 there is VERY little context in the actual script that justifies her queerness 

Nothing has to justify a character’s queerness. After all, nothing has to justify a character’s straightness. She’s just queer. And why the hell wouldn’t or shouldn’t she be?

This pretty much sums up everything I feel about the uproar over River being Bi.

BTW, to everyone angry at Moffat calling Jack Harkness bi, nobody in the show ever called Captain Jack Omnisexual, Pansexual, Bisexual, or anything else.
