daughterofzami:
“There is a definitive link between masculinity and sexuality in American society. A boy becomes a man with the completion of his first sexual act and the loss of his virginity. Then, and only then is he a “real man”. “Real Men” are those males that are virile as well as…

SERIOUSLY! I’m sick of LGBTQ culture being treated as just some political issue. Queer people aren’t just a handful of people who want to get married, okay? We’re real, and we’re fucking important, and we need to be represented...

No scientific basis justifies gay marriage ban
thisisnotpsychology:
The American Psychological Association praised a newly released court decision from California today (Feb. 7) that declared the state’s same-sex ban unconstitutional.
The ban, known as Proposition 8, is a ballot measure banning same-sex marriage in California that passed by 52 percent in 2008. The measure came after the California Supreme Court struck down two anti-gay...

I try and stop her because I don’t think this is appropriate but she doesn’t listen. He gets offended but she just says “Oh I just wanted to touch it! Nothing...

stfuconservatives:
That having a period or jerking off also destroys “potential” life. The fact that you are not having sex at this minute is technically obstructing potential life. An egg is not a “potential chicken,” it’s an egg. An acorn is not a “potential tree,” it’s an acorn. It has the potential, but it needs the right circumstances to become something else. A willing...

I got this amazing email today and just had to share
Dear Franchesca, First of all, I loved your video, Shit White Girls Say to Black Girls. It was so funny and well done. As a white woman not only did it make me laugh but it also made me think, “have I ever said something like that?” And while I consider myself a very tolerant, open-minded person I could not be sure I hadn’t,...

If you notice, I said slavery was common back then, which is why Africans had no problem selling their prisoners and condemned criminals to Europeans in exchange for money, trade, and guns.

Seeing a lot of light skinned vs. dark skinned privilege on my other dashboard made me want to vent about what I think about it. I don’t agree that light skinned people have it worse. That’s just me, and because I am not light skinned, maybe I’m biased. Sure, it’s not their fault that they are light skinned or that some white people and Europeans have managed to make...
