Hypocrisy, thy name is the Church of England.

To say that marriage ‘has always been between one man and one woman’ betrays an astonishing ignorance of history – and yes, the Bible. Polygamy has been legally recognized for millennia; for Mormons and Muslims, for example, polygamy is traditional marriage. The Biblical view of marriage is, to put it mildly, not terribly comforting; women were defined as property on a par with donkeys (Exodus 20:17), a woman, (but not a man) could (should!) be executed if not a virgin (Deuteronomy 22:13-21). Virtually all the Biblical patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, even Moses, David and Gideon) were polygamists. King Solomon had over 700 ‘legal’ wives. One of the Biblical ‘perks’ of conquest was the ‘ownership’ of any captured ‘virgins’ (Numbers 31:1-18). The Biblical ‘definition’ of marriage was very simple; a man could have as many wives as he could afford.

Fun fact: Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins decided secretly that they’d play Hook and Smee as a gay couple. When Spielberg, the director, found out, he was furious.
I just think it’s hilarious.
OH MY GOD
well this just made my childhood 1000% better
I suddenly want to watch this movie again.
I feel like this news has elevated me to a new plane of existence
Wow, I don’t remember that.
People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
Common Myths About Bisexuality from the lovely Webcomic “Jesus Loves Lesbians, Too” by bi blogger & author Maria Burnham (writer/memoirist) and Maggie Siegel-Berele (comic artist).
I usually don’t reblog stuff like this because this is my art blog but this hit close to home and reminded me of so many conversations that made me feel like garbage.
It always makes me see red when I see lesbians (and gay men) treating bisexuals this way. I don’t think I can even type too much more without quickly reaching a point where I just smash my head into the keyboard.
I just want to add that there is nothing wrong with wanting sex and not love, either
That, of course, is entirely true.
