be sure to understand ur s/o’s way of showing affection and make them aware of yours.. some ppl show affection by buying u things and some ppl will say I love u a million times and some will make u breakfast some will leave u the last ice cream, but it’s really important to know about these things bc u could not notice them and feel unloved while your s/o feels taken for granted and it’s just all a big misunderstanding so please talk about these things

Hi these are called love languages and there are five of them and you can take a quiz to find out which one is yours and like your secondary one and so can your partner and they’re really useful

i wish more straight people could make an effort to understand that not being straight can be such an incredibly lonely experience, and that’s a huge, huge reason why we’re so upset about the shitty state of media representation. we feel alone in our own lives and then when we finally see something we can relate to and connect with it just gets torn away, almost every single time, and more often than not it’s done brutally. it doesn’t take much to take a step back from your own opinions and try to empathize with other people, learn about why they’re feeling what they’re feeling, and it’s so frustrating that a lot of people just refuse to get it.  

That simple image… is right at the root of homophobia… The fundamental image of life, of family, of childhood, of survival, is man and woman. Every story, every myth, every image reinforces that. Even images of the real world reinforce that, because statistically heterosexuality is the norm. It’s the default. It’s the icon. Man/man or woman/woman disrupts a fundamental childhood image… That’s why, in this gay lark, I stress visibility… I barely ever do an interview without mentioning being gay, and that’s deliberate. We have to become visible, especially to the young, as part of the norm, then the picture starts to develop and widen.‘

the moment when the weight of the heteronormative lens became clear to me was when i was watching rtd’s queer as folk and vince goes to a straight bar and ‘game of love’ plays the one that goes ‘The purpose of a man is to love a woman And the purpose of a woman is to love a man’ and it’s so jarring in context because vince is pretending to be straight because he’s in the closet at work it’s such a powerful moment with the pairing of the situation and the song that it’s really when i first understood how deep this goes in our society i still think about that moment (via @butterflydm)
