That crochet bit was so sad. As a knitter, I would be upset to know that my work was unappreciated and deemed inappropriate because it was rainbow colored. WTF, it's a baby blanket.

Same, I was born into a liberal/accepting/supportive family, I was never taught homophobia. In fact, when I asked why two men were kissing on the lips in public, my Mamá just said “Oh they’re probably a couple.” And I just said okay. That was that, I never questioned it. Whenever I saw any gay couples I just thought “Oh, they’re in love, good for them,” or “Nice, I hope they live long happy lives together.” And I think those things for any couple I see.

"It isn't flaunting if I can do the same thing without upsetting others, so there's no reason I sould be upset." I was so happy to hear that he'd figured it out!

Okay, that's fine. Just remember that cheating on me with other guys is still cheating and I don't want to hear any whining about that."_ (comment on a date which ended shortly)

[@RaptorNX01]

generally in my experience, the women that refuse to date bi men, are the user/abuser types. its not exactly about homophobia (i've seen it in staunch lgbt allies and bi women, too), or cheating. its about having options. they tend to target more average type guys and demand straight, all because a guy with less options is more likely to be desperate, so less likely to complain or question when being taken advantage of, or abused.

If anything it was a very dark pink, almost brown. So many hours down the drain, all for nothing. For a *stupid* color. My mother got sad and didn't finish it.

I actually have a policy. When playing single player games that lets you choose a gender, I always pick female. When playing a mmorpg-like game (where the character is suppose my avatar/representation), I choose male. Why? I'm male and I'm sick of playing males in video games. This started when pokemon gold/silver first got released on gameboy and I've never stopped. With that said, I feel that, in video games, the female NPC's have pretty consistently been more interesting characters. A lot of male characters are usually relegated to, "I strong and no have feelings! I good!" The most would be like "My died so I'm ANGRY! This justifies all my mistreatment of other's and crimes!" Where like female characters, it's like "My husband went to war and was lost at sea during the 3rd pygmy wars. I've struggled as a single mother of 2 camel-sharks and a bird-daughter in a society that shuns me for just wanting to read and raising a child whose soul was infused with an animal. I only learned to read by moonlight that shines off of the bald head of the men that come at night to berate me." Like, seriously.

It's far better that they learn early in life, and thus absorb the important aspects of it, than later when they 'need' it, because if you haven't taught them by then... they've already done it themselves. Btw, the idea of "if we teach kids X then they'll do more of X" is very much wrong, as areas with better & earlier sex education have a much older average range for first sexual encounter, as well as a major decrease in teen pregnancies (abortions actually DECREASE as well).

I actually have been meeting a few straight couples in my area who are around my age (Gen Z) and most of that "I hate my wife" crap is dead. My coworker is a loving father and boyfriend and he includes his gf in shared interests and absolutely adores his son.

[@JoyOfCreativeService]

Exactly! My boyfriend is straight and he's the biggest ally and probably the sweetest guy I've ever met. I'm really glad 90% of these are either from middle-aged people or young people who haven't figured things out yet, because it gives me some hope for the next genereation.

[@abiean222]

its them telling on themselves. they are saying that if they see a woman in revealing clothing they think that the woman is "advertising" herself for sex. so they don't want their girlfriend to wear revealing clothing, because then she'd be saying "hey fellas, come fuck me!" according to these guys.

Gender Reveals still get me. Like I understand why they do it. It's an exciting time, you wanna know everything about your kid. But can we just go back to revealing it with like... food coloring in cake? Less likely to cause a deadly brushfire, and also yummy! I would be a lot more excited about a cake than I would be about an explosion. It's also funny seeing them act like rainbows have been stolen from them, as if they didn't just abandon it as soon as an "icky" gay touched it. Literally no one said we couldn't share, but since they abandoned it.... ours now :)

As a studio photographer, I have gotten to do an actually sweet gender reveal. It was literally an umbrella with flower petals. Open it up, and it spills out like rain. And honestly, it was pretty fun to see their excitement. I do think they can be sweet, when they are simple, and smaller

Morbid fact: the reason it's sometimes so colorful during sunset is because of pollution. Dust and smoke in the air spreads and distorts light into these vibrant colors. There's beauty in everything, even death

[@cynthia-x7x]

Wow… love this. That’s kinda scary.

[@s4047andstuff]

I don't like this fact, but I like colorful sky's!

[@ShiningDarknes]

Eh, even in places with little to no pollution the sunsets are colorful so no, no it isn't "because of pollution." Pollution causes it to look like that more often, but it looks like that because of disturbances across the pressure gradient (which the sunlight passes through at a shallower angle as the side of the planet you are on spins away from the sun meaning it has man more opportunities as the light has to pass through slightly more atmosphere to reach your eye so not all wavelengths reach your eye, thus you see colors instead of one uniform color). This can be distant rains, clouds forming, temperature changes causing a shift in pressure wind moving clouds at the far reaches beyond your ability to see, and yes, dust/smoke (but dust and smoke can also be natural). In areas of higher pollution these conditions are just met every single day because of how turbulent the air is over cities/larger towns. I lived in the desert for a year, beautiful sunsets; nearest city was like 30 miles north. Likewise, I visited my uncle who lives on a mountain near a national forest. Nearest city is 50 miles, nearest (very small) town is 20 miles. Basically no air pollution (the entire reason he moved out there), same beautiful sunsets. In other words: Nice try edgelord, but sometimes nature is just pretty with no sinister under/overtones.

@ShiningDarknes thanks for the in-depth information. I was just relying on what limited information I had on me. But I wasn't trying to be edgy. I wanted to add something that wasn't just "haha so true 👍" and I had that little nugget on my mind.

[@abiean222]

they do this because they are moving from the being the norm to being on equal level as everyone else. the hetero, white, family, with the working father and stay-at-home mother and 3.5 kids was the normal thing, and everything else was a deviation and there to be noted as Not Normal. now, its becoming more and more common to say that a gay couple, or childless couple, or mixed race couple are normal too. and that is pissing these people off, because all they had going for them was the superiors feeling that being the normal/ideal gave them. because their lives are shallow and hollow.
