The most fantastical thing about Rogue One isn’t the Death Star, the aliens, or the Force; it’s a whole team of men following a woman’s lead without whining, mansplaining, or questioning her authority.

And yet, only one woman.  

They couldn’t have added a couple more?  

Y’ know, just so it didn’t look like every other film with one woman in a room full of men?  

If all those so-called ‘christians’ who seek political power over others, seek wealth and seek to rob others, who seek to demonise other human beings for what they believe, who they love or the colour of their skin, are not in any way concerned about burning in hell – they’re probably not ‘christians.’  

Please don’t trust your new favourite telly programme until you’ve asked all the right questions and got all the right answers from the people who matter and you can be absolutely certain they are ‘going queer’ for the right reasons and not because they’re looking to recruit a young queer audience that will just accept whatever they can get because they never get anything and I’m so very tired of young queer people being used (and abused) for ratings. 

And The CW has a very recent history of doing just that.  

the new gay agenda

Just reminders of the new amendments:

We’re done with having Straight Allies for the queer community.  This is too complicated of an idea and leads to controversy.  Besides, we really shouldn’t condescend to those with more power and influence than us. Instead, we will work hard to be well-behaved allies to the Straight Community.  

There will be no swearing, no nit picking and no looking anyone in the eye. The Straights won’t be our friends if we’re rude or thought-provoking and calling them out on their bullshit, you know.  

If we want Straights to ‘do the right thing’ we must always pay up front.  No one does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. If the Straights think we’re being impolite or unsanitary they’ll take back everything! 

Oh, and whatever you do – don’t think for yourself.  Self-expression will no longer be tolerated. If you do, you’ll be condescended to, badgered and silenced. And don’t call us out for our hypocrisy or the irony of behaving as those who hate us behave, we’ll just blame you for causing all the drama and negativity. 

We can’t risk losing our one and only hope just because we need to fill the interwebs with hyperbolic language, paranoia and willful ignorance.   

Oh, and finally, @laynemorgan must submit all her tweets and blog posts for our censoring consideration before posting.

the older I get, the less patience I have for the idea that a story is inherently complex or #deep because it has a bittersweet or tragic ending, or that people who like for things to end on a happy note are simple-minded weaklings who can’t handle harsh realities and mature storytelling. 

Look, shit is fucked. Life is a mess. Sometimes it’s a struggle to even come up with a reason to go on. I respect that media should be realistic and true to life, but fucking sue me, for once I just want to see the bad guys eat shit while the good guys ride off into the sunset and never have anything bad happen to them ever again. I don’t care if it’s unrealistic or implausible, that’s why it’s a fucking story. I have enough tragedy in my real life, thanks.

Thank you 

Yes.
