I wonder whether they define adultery as “sex outside of marriage,” or “sex that involves lying.”

madewithloveandspit:
Although things feel lonely, dark and cold for me right now, I feel alright.
The thing that keeps me going is how accepting I am of my gender and sexuality.
You don’t find too many genderqueers that are on the more masculine side with a strong urge to be pregnant. I let myself crush on whoever I want, no matter what they’re packing down there. I just let myself feel...

genderqueer:
A beautiful post by a genderqueer person about dating an FTM and seeing pictures of him from before transition, before they had met. Ze also describes how it feels to see hir own old pictures.
I told my partner once about who I thought I’d grow up to be, at that age… I said I hoped that other person—that woman my age that I was going to grow up to be—was alive and happy...
Tumblr Rule #1

messymindoftaylor:
Give credit back to photos you blog.
There are multiple ways to do that, look it up
#2 dont put all your posts on facebook and twitter!
How about getting permission from artists/photographers etc. before posting stuff. I don’t do this, for reposts, which is sort of sad. But at least for original swipes, why not?

I’m feeling particularly fiery this fine afternoon…I thought I would jot down some things that I hold near and dear, and things I feel everyone should realize/consider/practice.

Bisexuality
branchesofmymind:
Many people presume bisexuals as guys who dont want to admitt they are gay, or girls just wanting attention. I myself am not bisexual, but I respect bisexuals greatly. Why? Because it just means that they can find deep connections, and be attracted to all people. They find true beauty and art in every soul, and most people only admire the one gender they are attracted to.

Are you queer?
lushlithiumoxide:
Tell me a story. Any story, but I want it to be about your queerness. Your individual queerness. I want to hear how you came out, how you knew, what being queer means to you, how you are looked at by others - anything. I want it to be happy, I want it to be sad, I want it to be pretty epic.
It doesn’t have to be a million words long, anything that gets the point across will...

I was let go about a year ago from the Air Force ROTC at my university due to the depression medications I was on. However, I got off of the medications back in May and am now working to go back in. Only problem is, I have, since then, come to terms with my bisexuality and come out about it. All…
Bisexuals: stand up for yourselves!
frozen-in-tyme:
We don’t need a new term for what we are, and we don’t need to chicken out of calling ourselves bisexual just because the LGBTQ community has joined the church against us in the past. Stand up for yourselves! We don’t just love men or women. We don’t see their sexuality, we see them for who they are… and love them for it. It has nothing to do with sexuality for us. Stop...

I am enraged right now. It’s not easy to make someone as tolerantly passive-aggressive as me fly off the handle like this, but good LORD am I raging. And it all starts with this damn “Everyone is Bi” thing I saw in a forum. I swear they’re not getting linked, because I am so pissed right now I…
