one time my animation lecturer said that betty boop was an lgbt icon and i asked him about it afterwards because i was like “i didn’t kno betty boop is gay?” and he said that she wasn’t gay but was like adopted by gay culture basically and i cannot fucking believe that in like 30 years time some fresh faced film student is gonna have to walk up to their lecturer and say “i didn’t kno the babadook is gay?”
Unfriendly, in your face reminder that there are straight trans people and they do not have to tell you they’re trans in order to be included in the community. See a “het couple” at pride?? Shut the fuck up about it. They could be bi, pan, trans, etc etc.
Asking someone to disclose if they’re trans is rude as fuck. Don’t do it. You are NOT entitled to know someone’s sexual orientation or assigned at birth gender.
Ways to tell if somebody doesn’t belong at Pride:
1) they’re harassing the other people there
2) they’re in acute medical distress, in which case they belong at a hospital instead, and can come back to Pride when they feel better
