How to handle friends who refuse to acknowledge abuse

by greenSail3488

October 8th, 2023

...See more So, I have two friends that I talk to regularly. Met both through queer spaces, and both seem to be living fully functioning lives. Both seem to have a decent understanding of morality, both stick up for their rights, both seem to have a positive outlook on life and have actively tried to uplift me in my dark moments. Both are very pleasant people. The problem is that both of them are in relationships that seem toxic, but never describe their partners as anything but great. One's a trans woman who's dating a guy who almost raped her the night they met. She's a hardcore submissive and writes really dark stories inspired by her experiences, and models the abusive men in her stories after the current boyfriend, but apparently everything is great between them. She's taken trips with him to some extremely dangerous places, the stories she's written about the environments she's put herself in for that guy scare me more than some cockr do. The other is a 19 year old lesbian who's unofficially married to the middle school teacher who's been using her for who knows how long. Before that, she was in a relationship with her aunt, and she casually reminiscences about her mother doing stuff to her all the time. Now, I don't know how much of what she says is true and how much is fantasy, but she actively fetishizes that sort of relationship. She seems incapable of going ten minutes without making some kind of reference to how much she loves these "mommies". She had a short lived blog with a different, much more messed up theme that went all out against her real life persona, and that was the only place I've ever seen her call these people groomers (the blog involved a type of mockery of right wing ***, but she wasn't using "groomer" in that meaningless sense. I could sense some real resentment there) It's just difficult to talk to either of them when there's something like that going on. I always have to walk on eggshells, or act like I approve of their choices in partners when I really can't. But I can't tell them how to live their lives, and I don't think anyone likes to be told something they enjoy is absolutely evil when they themselves don't feel the same way. I'm worried prying into these things could end these friendships, and I can't afford to lose any more friends these days. What would you do if you saw someone ignoring obvious red flags, or defending them?

Trope, Tripe or Tribute?

by EmotionsListener

September 12th, 2023

...See more Is your LGBTQ+ identity one you've seen portrayed in movies, tv, books or social media? Oftentimes these characterizations rely heavily on stereotypes - the good and the bad. So thinking of one LGBTQ+ character you’ve seen, tell us about them and rate them “trope, tripe or tribute?!” We’ll categorize those as follows: Trope - “common or overused, stereotypical” - this representation reinforces some stereotypes but is presented in a way that isn’t entirely hurtful or which openly admits it is a stereotype and not realistic. Tripe - “something poor, worthless, or offensive” - this representation is not just inaccurate, it’s bad and it may even be doing harm! Tribute - “truthful and uplifting” - this representation feels true to me, I can relate to this character and feel it is a fair and accurate depiction. It’s okay to agree or disagree with others just do so respectfully please! This is meant to be a bit of fun and maybe let us get an idea of some of the various representations, accurate or otherwise, that exist in the media. Perhaps we can even think of some we’d like to see instead?! [Image reads Trope, Tripe and Tribute superimposed on three different rainbows to represent each word.] Join in, add your own character summaries and ratings! Will they be "trope", "tripe", or "tribute"?

History of the Stonewall Riots

by EmotionsListener

June 29th, 2023

...See more In the 1960s solicitation of same-sex relations was illegal in New York City, and so even bars known to serve LGBTQ+ individuals were often penalized or shut down, any gathering of homosexuals being deemed “disorderly”. While in the mid 1960’s these LGBTQ+ bars were permitted to serve alcohol, engaging in any same-sex hand holding, kissing, or dancing was illegal in public, so the police would regularly harass and raid these establishments. Many also chose to operate without licenses for this reason as well. One of these bars, operated by the Mafia (seeing an opportunity to profit by catering to gay clientele) was the Stonewall Inn. The Stonewall Inn was run as a “private bottle bar” where patrons in theory brought their own liquor to consume. The family running the bar bribed police to ignore the various activities that occurred within the club. (Including that it was not in fact a “private bottle bar.”) This lack of police intervention however meant the club also lacked a fire exit, had no running water behind the bar to wash glasses, lacked clean and maintained restroom facilities, and offered drinks that were heavily watered down. Not to mention, seeing the chance to profit, the Mafia would reportedly blackmail wealthier patrons who wished to keep their sexuality a secret. Even with all these problems, the Stonewall Inn still attracted many LGBTQ+ people, it was a large establishment, inexpensive to enter, they allowed dancing and it was welcoming to drag queens who were not as well received at other establishments catering to LGBTQ+ clientele. It even became a sort of home for runaway and homeless gay youth. While raids were still a reality, the Stonewall Inn being run by a Mafia family with some corrupt cops on their side would typically be tipped off before any such raid on the establishment and so could hide away anything that would be incriminating. But there was no such tip before the raid on the morning of June 28, 1969. With a warrant in hand police officers entered the club, arrested 13 people including those violating the state’s “gender appropriate clothing statute”, roughed up patrons, and of course discovered bootlegged alcohol. But on this particular morning, you may say that the frustration and anger of the community fed up with constant police harassment, boiled over. Patrons and those who lived near the Stonewall Inn, hung around outside rather than dispersing, growing more and more agitated and upset seeing the events unfold. At one point an officer hit a lesbian over the head while forcing her into the police vehicle, she shouted out to onlookers, calling on them to act. So the crowd began to throw whatever they could at officers, bottles, stones, pennies, and within minutes what we now know as the Stonewall Riot had begun. Over the course of the following five days the protests intensified and continued, galvanizing the community. Although the gay rights movement had started long before, this one event became a catalyst that propelled it forward. One year after the initial Stonewall Riot, thousands of people marched in the streets of Manhattan starting at the Stonewall Inn and down to Central Park, a march which became America’s first “gay pride parade.” So, while for many today pride parades are a celebration, they are also a protest to the unfair treatment of LGBTQ+ people, linking back to a police riot on an LGBTQ+ club, and a community that was ultimately fed up.
