you do realise those "straight men that think they're lesbians" are the ones that invented pride marches?
The first Pride Parade got organized in November 1969 by Linda Rhodes, Arlene Kushner and Ellen Broidy. They were all members of the Lavender Menace, a radical lesbian feminist group.
Nice try tho.

Patricia Cronin, Monument to a Marriage (installed at Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NY), 2006
In Monument to a Marriage, Patricia Cronin disrupts the cemetery. Installed ‘for eternity’ in New York’s necropolis, Cronin and her partner lie entwined upon a modern mattress among the memorials to the partners in and products of state sanctioned heterosexuality. By taking anticipatory revenge, Cronin out-manouevres the reality that she and her partner, Deborah Kass, could not be recognized as a family in the eyes of the American state at the time the work was made. “If I can’t have it in life,” says Cronin, “I’m going to have it in death.”
You know what’s messed up? People make fun of women for reading romance novels in which men are kind, chivalrous and sexually generous to the women they love, but men watching violent hardcore porn where women choke on dicks is considered normal, and ‘shaming’ someone for it is considered more taboo than the porn itself. And women reading romance novels has certainly yet to lead to a culture where men are considered lesser if they don’t emulate the men in the pages. I wonder the fuck why.
how to learn more about a person:
read the things they write
ask their go-to movies
observe the way they treat their pets
check out the songs they listen to
ask them if they prefer tea or coffee
converse with them under the stars
do they like summer over winter?
observe how they act when they’re mad
do they sleep with lights off or on?
when they watch the skies, do they observe the moon or the stars first?
would they rather eat alone?
how do they treat those who are ‘inferior’ to them?
the way they approach strangers when they’re lost
if they like texting better than calling
how they act when they’re scared
if they like rewriting their notes for an exam
during what situation do their eyes shine the brightest?
the things they say when they’re partly intoxicated
how they act when they’re alone and with their friends
how they look at the people they love
what is their most favorite thing about themselves?

Murphy: I failed my safety course today
Emori: Why? What happened?
Murphy: Well one of the questions was "In the case of a fire what steps would you take?"
Emori: And?
Murphy: Well apparently, "FUCKING LARGE ONES" isn't an acceptable answer.
