I've mentioned a few "vegan" Zionists I've encountered in other posts, but it just doesn't stop. A vegan account I follow on Instagram made a pride post yesterday, and some queerphobic vegans in the comments stated that they are unfollowing because they disagreed with the "LGBT agenda" being supported by the account or some shit like that.

Of course, there were also some people who said they were unfollowing simply because the post was "unrelated" to veganism, but I'm convinced that this just serves as an excuse to make their homophobia look far less homophobic instead of being as genuinely apathetic to the matter as they're framing themselves to be.

This is all too confusing for me. How do you get conscious to a point of saying "Oppression towards non-human animals is fucked up," but still keep a disturbing tendency to support oppression of certain humans simply on the basis of who they are?

I'm very much disturbed by how I can encounter some vegans that seem highly principled in supporting animal liberation, but then they turn around and endorse capitalism, racism, imperialism, queerphobia, and many other kinds of reactionary bullshit in the process.

I'm beginning to be done with my efforts to try to understand anyone like this, but do any of you have any idea as to where the hell this type of thinking stems from?

Neil Peart might've been a Randian nerd, especially during this era of Rush, but Geddy screaming

"WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHTTTTTT!!!"

makes up for it by a lot.

at least I didn't leave my keys upon the table

Since it's now pride month and I love metal, I might as well post some Cynic!

Great band, but the passing of both Seans in the band is still very depressing for me.

May they rest in peace.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy pride month, lovelies! 🏳️‍⚧️

As a queer metalhead, this is my song. I've gone through so many aspects of LGBTQ+ struggle, such as being stuck in the closet, facing bigotry from others both in and outside of the community, struggling to accept myself, going through harsh internalized bigotry, feeling out of place with society, and every other kind of bullshit that us queer people sadly often face on a daily basis, so I see myself as a rainbow in the dark!

As of late, I've been going a lot more into the light, though, which is good, even if I can't say that I see all of the sunshine there is to see right now. At the very least, a little bit of it is creeping into my dark corner, and that's significantly better than when all I could see was nothing, due to the total darkness.
