In Honor Of Pride Month, I Made A Special Lockscreen Set For Some Of The Main Lgbt Pride Flags ^^

I think a lot of people are anti vax not only due to mistrust in science, but because they’re so used to the benefits of vaccines that they forget what life would be like without them. They’re not seeing anyone die of tetanus. Or children paralysed by polio. They’ve never been concerned with measles. Herd immunity (because thank God, most people do get vaccinated) has been protecting them for so long that they don’t know how horrible these diseases are. They fully expect that their children will make it past childhood.

However, not everyone gets that privilege. In some countries, people will go to hell and back to get their children vaccinated. They have 5+ kids expecting that maybe one or two will live to see their adult years.

Vaccines do not make you sick. It is not within pharmaceutical companies’ best interest to make people sick with their vaccines. It’s not only bad for people, but also bad for business. Developing a vaccine is a decade’s long investment, and if a vaccine is dangerous it’s pulled from the market before it can generate sufficient profit. Besides, you don’t think pharma companies WANT to be known for good vaccines? Who wouldn’t want to be known as the business that eradicated a horrible illness?

Whether you like it or not, the diseases that vaccines prevent are more dangerous than you imagine. We wouldn’t vaccinate if it was unnecessary! Vaccinating is so important- speak to ANY doctor about it. The side effects of vaccines are extremely rare (so rare in fact, that the WHO doesn’t have enough figures on this matter to run a statistical analysis) and they are much better than the diseases they prevent. Vaccinating is one of the best things you can do for both your own and public health.

I'm in a groupchat with a bunch of queer people and someone made a joke about how dating someone who is in the closet is a terrible idea and everyone kind of laughed and agreed without discussing it more. Is that really a thing? I've been dating the same girl for almost a year and she's in the closet, and it hasn't really affected our relationship, but now I'm nervous

no it’s not a thing, and it’s a shitty joke to make, but people make it a lot. they usually mean it in the usual, “haha closeted people are ashamed of being lgbt/closeted people hate themselves/they’re scared to be seen in public on a date/you have to pretend to be just friends” way, which is infuriating. closeted gay/trans people aren’t necessarily self loathing or ashamed, and even if they are, those traits aren’t exclusive to closeted people, and considering that most of us have been closeted at some point or another, we should be able to fucking empathize with people who have to do that all the time.

we all know why closeted people are closeted. it’s because homophobia/transphobia is alive and real and has dire fucking consequences for a lot of us. no one, esp other lgbt people who know both the consequences of being out and the consequences of being closeted, should ostracize or belittle those who aren’t ready or able to come out. 

I work at a coffee shop and have gotten all my co-workers to start calling lattes “hot milkybois”

u know it’s times like this where i thinking abt having a girlfriend and.. can u imagine… a girl pulling u closer by ur belt loops… a girl kissing ur forehead when she thinks ur asleep and won’t notice… falling asleep with ur head resting on a girls shoulder.. a girl hugging u from behind and resting her chin on ur shoulder… having a girl absentmindedly hold ur hand while on a casual stroll.. a girl kissing ur cheek and leaving a lipstick stain… g o d
