the 4 types of lesbian
If you aren’t exclusively attracted to the same sex don’t fucking call yourself gay.

Then stop using the terms gay marriage, gay rights, gay bars, gay pride, and gay community when you mean LGBT+ or same-sex. Stop saying “lesbian and gay organization” to refer to LGBT+ organizations – looking at you, pflag! If you don’t want gay to be an umbrella term, stop using it as one.
You can’t force the label gay on bi and pan people against our will and then complain when we use it. It doesn’t work like that.
I'mma gonna reblog this again because it’s making the openly transphobic OP incoherently angry and I am all about that shit.
boom I’m with the second comment,
“Reagan Is Killing Me,” Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day, San Francisco, California, June 28, 1987. Photo by Saul Bromberger & Sandra Hoover. The first cases of AIDS in the United States were reported in 1981; President Ronald Reagan gave his first address on the subject on May 31, 1987, weeks before Pride celebrations took place across the country. By the end of 1987, over 40,000 people in the United States were dead from HIV/AIDS-related illness. #knowyourhistory (at Market Street San Fancisco)
Happy Pride Month! Don't forget that the founder of Pride is a bisexual woman, Brenda Howard aka Mother of Pride, who organized the first pride parade. Don't forget that two of the most key figures in LGBT liberation were Marsha P Johnson, a black trans woman, and Sylvia Rivera, a puerto rican trans bi woman. Don't forget that the person to start the fight against the police at stonewall was Stormé DeLarverie, a butch and gnc biracial lesbian.

Some one add the post about the USS Independence having a crush on the Vespucci
Love to see a butch and femme holding hands.
For those of you who may not be aware, in Scotland there is an officially registered tartan called Pride of LGBT.
This is so cool, because tartan patterns were originally family symbols. Almost every Scottish clan has a unique one. Even my family has one. It’s like saying LGBT+ is a family, one you can belong to even if your blood family doesn’t accept you.
Um, I'mma need a kilt in this tartan like YESTERDAY.
I just want to add in here that specific tartan patterns being associated with a family or clan is a somewhat recent phenomenon. Long before that it was a matter of personal taste and an expression of social/economic status. The more colours you had in your tartan, the richer you were. Certain dyes were also difficult and expensive to obtain. You didn’t have red unless you were very wealthy and powerful, and you definitely didn’t have purple unless you were richer than god.
This is basically the fanciest, most extravagant tartan imaginable. If you went back in time to like medieval Scotland wearing this everyone would lose their minds.
Kicked out of the LGBT community?
Yes, I’m afraid it’s true. /:
I wish I could fight for equality with them, instead of next to them. I wish there was an S for “Straight” in the acronym. The acronym means being proud for your sexuality after all, doesn’t it? Hm…
Well, I still have my straight pride! Even if those of the LGBT community do not want my identity in their acronym, I can still be a proud ally and heterosexual! :)
Ohhh noOOO the big mean queers kicked you out if a space for queer people??? For not being queer? OUTRAGEOUS! disgusting this is true heterophobia uwu uwu spread awareness #straight pride Straight people are oppressed too!!1!1!!

BIG BAD MEAN QUEERS!!! lets all go cry in a corner while complaining how orlando could have happened to HETEROSEXUALS
Gilbert Baker, designer of the Pride Flag, has passed away today at 65 years of age
Recently honored in the ABC series “When We Rise”, the openly gay artist is remembered for designing the unifying symbol of the LGBT community and movement.
The rainbow flag was first designed and handmade in 1978. A rainbow was used to reflect the fact that LGBT people are of natural beauty. The first flag was flown on June 25, 1978 at San Francisco Pride, with 8 colors. Each had its own meaning: hot pink for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic/art, blue for harmony, and violet for the spirit. Following the assassination of influential leader Harvey Milk, the flag was in high demand and was revised to retain efficiency. Nowadays, the flag is shown as having 6 evens colors, having dropped hot pink and turquoise.
(Original flag design, 1978)
Now we must remember Mr. Baker as designing the seminal symbol for our people. Gone are the days of the pink triangle–we define ourselves. Thank you for giving us this beautiful symbol. The Pride Flag is something that has given us the image for our pride and community. There is nothing I would rather assign myself to more than the rainbow. We will always remember you.
