alckansksb there's a little poster board in the lobby of my dorm about how “sexuality is a spectrum” and if references the fucking kinsey scale and the whole thing says homosexual instead of gay I've never seen something so clearly either made by a mogai or a straight person
another poster board says “consent is sexy” guys I thought we agreed not to ever use this phrase again because consent isn't some kink, it's mandatory
#or.. a really dumb gay which is also likely tbh #but its.. such a hetero analysis of sexuality im dead #and such a bad take on consent!! #jfc college kids #personal

This really isn't that bad, but I do have to ask...
either made by a mogai or a straight person
MOGAI = Marginalized Orientations, Gender identities, And Intersex
So doesn't "MOGAI or straight" cover just about the entire human race?
Am I missing something? Why is the OP seemingly upset that the person who created the graphic used the term "homosexual" over "gay"?
It's not meant as an insult. Given that homosexuals still have to put up with a disproportionate amount of hate, sometimes including assault and murder, what about the sign the OP describes is so objectionable? (Genuinely curious.)

The OP isn't human?
I'm willing to bet that the chart says heterosexual instead of straight as well.
By being so uptight, you make things worse.
Heterosexual parents have taken part in Pride Parades, you know.
They having no problem with their homosexual offspring. And are proud of them being so.

i think i might be a bitch and say that punctuation and capital letters are mandatory if you want people to understand what you're saying
The poster is not aimed at you, it's aimed at people who have not been properly educated in gender politics and think consent is not always necessary. Just like 'smoking will kill you' posters are aimed at people who smoke, not at non-smokers who already know that smoking kills you. Not everything in life is about you, believe it or not.
@sickofthebullshit: yes, absolutely. If it weren't for finding out about the gradations posited on the Kinsey scale I'd still be ricocheting back and forth between 'OMG I'm gay how can I tell my parents' and 'Oh thank god I'm straight - or am I actually still gay and suffering from massive repression due to internalised homophobia?' like I was all through adolescence :)
Of course, consent in mandatory. No questions.
Also, I think they would rather be called homosexuals, than some of the other things they get called. Gay is PC, at least. Admittedly the word's a bit of a mouthful - and he wouldn't want mine.
@sickofthebullshit: Personally, I think the Kinsey scale is insufficient. Doesn't cover pansexual, asexual, or demisexual. But it's more accurate than the whole "you're either gay or straight" BS.
Also, a lot of anti-ace, TERF, & lesbian separatist types hate the term MOGAI. Mostly because it's been picked up by tumblrinas to claim lesbians oppress bi- & pansexuals just by only being attracted to one sex, which is kind of like hating atheists because of TheAmazingAtheist.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
