It’s not lost on me that we have white mlm story after white mlm story and now we have a sapphic love story with a Black lead and suddenly lesbians are tired and overdone!

The amount of lesbiphobia I’ve seen in the last 24 hours since First Kill dropping is frankly disheartening. The Heteros get cw show after cw show no matter the quality and we’re not allowed to have a fun cheesy supernatural romantic drama? Sigh

Something I think about all the time is how many teens come in to the bookstore I work at with a $20 bill and they can’t afford the YA hardcover new releases
YA should be for teens and young adults. The stories should written, marketed and targeted to them. The book should be cheaper, no more than $20. Teens should be able to afford it. They should be able to see themselves.

Isnt it wild that they just had a queer movie go number one and is one of their top three romcoms of all time and that outpouring support for queer media still wasn’t enough to save a beloved sapphic show. 🤷🏻♀️

It very much is holding the lesbian media to a higher standard for me. First kill is no different in tone, pacing, and level of drama than the vampire diaries, the 100, supernatural, cause it fits in with the teen supernatural romantic drama! It’s a genre! This fits into it!

It is very funny to me that Taylor Swift is so intentionally vague with who her songs are about in their lyrics and then Fletcher songs are like I met her in June 2016 and her birthday is March 19 and her current girlfriend’s name is Becky (real)

Bro literally went to the cursed child show last year while def being aware of JKR’s transphobia Lmfao how much longer are people going to use the “but I didn’t know” as an excuse
I was cast in this project over 3 years ago, back when all Harry Potter was to me, was the magical world I grew up with. This was long before I was aware of JK Rowling’s views.
I believe whole heartedly that trans women are women and trans men are men.

People don’t seem to realize that continuing to purchase h*rry p*tter games and merch are doing more than just putting money in The TERF’s pocket, but they keep the wizard school relevant to pop culture. And if it’s still relevant, they’re still going to make content

Personally it annoys me when a standalone book is adapted into a movie or show and then they make a second movie or season that adds more and creates conflict where the story has previously been wrapped up nicely but I’m potentially just a hater

I’ve seen a couple people say this already but reminder! Make sure when you are recommending “lesbian” books today that the characters in it are ACTUALLY lesbians! Lesbian is not an umbrella term like queer or sapphic!
