Poser

I don't believe that there is such a thing as a poser of gender. Whatever you feel you are, is what you are. If you transition from female to male, then date a guy, it doesn't mean you're straight. Unless you know you are. If you are a girl, feel like you're cross-dressing when you put on makeup, you might be. It all depends on who you are and what you know yourself to be. People in the LGBT community don't choose who they are attracted to and who they are, they just know. This does not necessarily mean you have to know who you are. For some, it comes as easily as riding a bike. But for me, and others alike or not so, I am still trying to find out just exactly who and what I identify as. Whether I'll know in the future is entirely up to how I develop and how much I learn about myself. And I'll be alright even if I never find out.  

RainbowGay

This is RainbowGay. I made her shortly after hearing the controversy over a pony named Derpy getting removed from Friendship is Magical. I don't watch the show and don't see myself ever watching it in the future. Even so, there is a good point made in the "Save Derpy" campain. Censorship. It's been happening more and more lately as SOPA and PIPA snake slowly through the ears of every internet user. It's also happening more on television. Not in the same ways, but in ways that are questionable. Let's start over:
This is RainbowGay. She is a beautiful, independant, lesbian pony. The pride flag on her side clearly shows how proud she is of her sexual identity. However, if anyone were to have brought RainbowGay to the producers of My Little Pony, she would be turned down. And even if she got her name changed and removed her flag, it wouldn't be alright. Because that's not her.
I think that parents over-emphasize what is acceptable and what's not. It's good when parents tell their kids bullying is bad and to accept others. But apparently "others" doesn't include the LGBT community? Is anyone else confused by this? You let your kids watch cartoons in which men are drooling over a sensual woman, usually making unwanted advances toward her, and yet when two cartoon men are holding hands on TV it's automatically inapropriate? Okay, what's with that?
We've made it acceptable for a man and woman to display less-than-modest acts of affection in public places. In front of children. And then when Fred kisses Ted on the cheek, you cover your childrens eyes. What? Why'd you react like that?
The next time you're about to say something or respond in a way that's hurtful toward another person or group, please think twice. You don't know how that might affect them. And if you have a rather old-school family that has a problem with LGBT, don't force them to conform to your own beliefs. Just let them know what you think without being mean and accept them as they will accept you for being curtious to them.
