chained to a comet

Dear heterosexual white cis male showrunners,
Claiming that after killing off a major queer female character you “understand the outrage and can relate to the pain,” is at best entitled, and at worst offensive.
Our pain isn’t yours. You can’t relate to shit when literally 94% of your Netflix, Hulu and HBO accounts reflect and cater to you… Try again.

When a naval vessel comes home after a long deployment, the crew holds a draw to determine which sailor gets to disembark first and kiss their loved ones.
Canada’s HMC Winnipeg just returned from 255 days at sea, and the first kiss was historic.(x)
Damn. Damn. Daaaamn.

i need you to understand that gay girls are not just skinny white alternative eighteen-year-olds.
i need you to understand that gay girls are five-year-olds with crushes on their music teachers, twelve-year-olds with crushes on their best friends, forty-year-old moms, eighty-year-old couples who go to church on sunday mornings and bicker about what to eat for dinner.
that women who love women can be the ideal loving happy couple, but that they also can be the couple that fights bitterly and cheats and breaks up or gets divorced.
that they can be WGST professors and students at all-girls’ schools, but that they can also be accountants and elementary school principals and data technicians.
that they can be thin or athletic or beautiful, but that they can also be fat or lumpy or ugly. that they can be kind and radiant, but that they can be grumpy and callous and rude. that we are not an aesthetic, or a genre of porn, or a choice of lifestyle, but very deeply human and flawed.
and that every single one of these women is valid in her orientation. every single one.

"When a fan says ‘I really, really want Swan Queen to become canon because they’re two strong, dynamic, beautiful women who have an important role on their show and I think it’s about time that the morals of fairytales expanded to include same-sex couples in their definition of True Love, too’, they don’t want to hear that it’s not going to happen because it would be too weird. Because that is the very thing that they are hoping to discourage. ‘Oh you crazy people, you don’t really think they’ll let your gay delusions come true, do you? This isn’t a show about being gay, ergo, there shouldn’t be anything gay on it, because homosexuality is not normal’. When people argue that a show will never make a character pursue a same-sex romance because they do not fit a queer stereotype, or because it’s a family show, or because the character is too important – that is the point. We have gay stereotypes in our media. We have risqué shows about the drama of being LGB. But we have very, very few shows where someone can just be queer and be themselves and do other things that do not revolve around their sexuality. We have very few stories where queer people are just people who happen to be queer, and therein lies the appeal of taking a character who is not initially presented that way and then allow them to explore a same-sex relationship. Because if Dean Winchester hooks up with Castiel, the show is still going to be about fighting monsters. The idea is not to turn Supernatural into Queer as Folk; the idea is to have Supernatural be Supernatural, and let some of the characters be not straight on it at the same time."
