Literally it's been around for almost a century.

Also you can in fact be a coon. Liking K Pop doesn't make you a coon, distancing yourself from blackness and black people makes you a coon.

What the fuck is blackness?

Also, what is Vogueing and why should I care as a queer?

all the time, my friend. i live in seattle and i'm not even involved with anyone in the lgbt community because the culture just doesn't resonate with me. shit get's pretty isolating. :/

That's what mind fucked me the most I was blown away that it was even a thing! I watched a ton of vogue battles on YouTube but after a while it got kinda boring. She was doing anything like that she was literally just saying she feels like certain black people (her mothers friends and her step father) don't take responsibility and blame a lot of their problems on white people for no real reason. She wasn't even speaking about blacks in General.

See I'm all for supporting lgbt stuff like the vogue thing it was pretty cool but he was also talking about certain things i don't agree with/would never do and then claimed I'm self hating for it. Like how open relationships are a staple for gays and how it's our thing and that me not knowing celeb shit i could care less about or not having sass meant i wasn't being true to who i am also i don't like drag queens and that pissed him off.. But to be fair they remind me of clowns and clowns freak me the fuck out

We also got into it about no fats no fems and this is something i really didn't understand. So his issue was that it's rude and hateful but all the examples he showed me were of grindr profiles.. A hookup app so when i said of course they're gonna put their turn offs since they're literally just trying to have sex he flipped a shit! Like I don't get it. Why get upset about what some random stranger likes or dislikes shouldn't a bigger issue be how self entitled the ones being offended are? That's like me being angry someone won't pet my cat when their allergic to it.

I was her once, that still doesn't negate the fact that racism like homophobia exists still and hinders people and there is enough research to back that up.

Redlining, job discrimination, loans, medical services, etc...

"I'm not like those other girls XD"

Literally trying to distance one's self from who and what they are.

Vogue and the ballroom community is one of the oldest gay communities in the West. It was a black and afrolatino cultural base which has now taken off around the world.


You don't have to like it but if you're an American, Queer identified and are into the gay community and it's history it's a no brainer even if you don't engage in it.

having an lgbt identity doesn't make you "into the gay community" though

That's why I said "AND" meaning it's not implied.
