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...

You aren’t vegan if you breathe air. Air belongs to the animals! You didn’t ask them if you could have their air.
