PSA: The wage gap isn’t real

People are either completely shocked or say that everything about me makes so much more sense.

To other autistic people, have other people ever been able to realise you’re autistic without you telling them before?

Grover: What is going on with you two?

Percy: Come on, Underwood, not this again.

Grover: You gotta admit there’s a spark.

Percy: How many times do I have to say it? She’s like a sister.

Grover: That’s what Luke said about Leia.

Percy: HEY, LUKE DIDN’T KNOW! NOBODY KNEW!

Binary gendered language is one of those things that often goes unnoticed even at churches that are trying to be LGBTQ inclusive. Breaking the binary is a simple change that can make a difference.

How might you incorporate this language into your prayers, sermons, and church activities?

How come we never learned about this in History? (Probably for the same reason my Language Arts teacher tried to convince us Sappho was straight...)

Do you guys understand that when Hephaistion (the best friend and lover of Alexander the Great) died, Alexander cried for two days and gave him one of the most expensive funerals in history and had the sacred flame at the temple extinguished (which was usually only done for a king). And then he went to the oracle and asked if Hephaistion could be worshipped as a god, and the oracle said no, and Alexander said screw you we’re gonna worship him anyway. And then Alexander himself died like a month later, just as he’d said he would if he ever lost Hephaistion. Literally, you can’t write a better love story than that, so don’t tell me that kind of devotion only happens in the fictional world.

OH MY GOD LY

Well, actually, according to a 2015 survey by the Pew Research center, in America, 45% of Muslims say that “homosexuality should be accepted by society,” about the same as Protestants (48%) and more than specifically Evangelical Protestants (36%), Mormons (36%), and Jehovah’s Witnesses (16%).

Additionally, looking specifically at support for same-sex marriage being legalized, 42% of Muslims support this, roughly the same amount as Christians overall (44%) and more than Protestants (39%, with specifically Evangelical Protestants having a support rate of 28%), Mormons (26%), and Jehovah’s Witnesses (14%).

Now, obviously there were other religious groups in the survey, and some of them were more accepting of the LGBT+ community than Muslims, on average. But given the number of groups than which Muslims were more accepting, singling out Muslims specifically is ... factually dubious at best.

Also, while lurking the tags in the individual posts, I’ve seen quite a few people say they’d like to cosplay these.  To that, I can only say: PLEASE DO, and show me pics!
