hey so im sure many of you have seen the selfie week going around by aFpE.
unfortunately, aFpE is kind of horrible(some explanation here and here and here and many other places on tumblr.) xana and i (and many other lgbt people) were very uncomfortable participating in a selfie thing set up by her and have made one by two people who support the entire community!
so, heres the run down!JUNE 2ND- gay men!
JUNE 3RD- lesbians!
JUNE 8TH- trans men
JUNE 10TH- trans women!
JUNE 12TH- intersex people!
JUNE 15TH- aroace umbrella! (this includes demi, grey, etc.)
JUNE 19TH- bisexual/biromantic!
JUNE 21ST- pansexual/panromantic!
JUNE 23RD- nonbinary people!
JUNE 25TH- not yet been featured? show your stuff! we’re very sorry abt the limited number of days, that’s why we included this day!
JUNE 27TH- remembrance! this is a day to remember members of our community who are no longer with us. please tag posts carefully.
JUNE 29TH-30TH- these days is to talk about your experience. whether its your coming out story, your experience with being closeted, or how you came/are coming to terms with your identity!
we would very much appreciate your help in spreading this so it can get out to as many people as possible! thanks!!
please boost this!
I think the only problem I have with this is that while aFpE had a day set aside for everyone, this one only has 11-12 days. Which sucks, bc they had a day set specifically for gender fluid people (yay for me!) and so on, but now this kind of feels like “yeah we know there’s more of you out there but we can’t remember them all so here’s a day for all of you that we forget!” I’m sure this wasn’t the intention, but I mean, there’s 30 days in the month. I think there are enough days for all.
Hell, it’d be nice to have a polyamory day too, you know.
I suggest a new schedule:
June 1st: Gay people!!
June 2nd: Lesbian people!!
June 3rd: Bisexual people!!
June 4th: Polysexual people!!
June 6th: Pansexual people!!
June 7th: Aromantic/asexual people (inluding all kinds of aro/ace)!!
June 8th: Homo/bi/hetero/panromantic people!!
June 12th: Intersex people!!
June 13th: Trans women!!
June 14th: Trans men!!
June 17th: Genderfluid people!!
June 18th: Non-binary people!!
June 19th: Demigender people!!
June 20th: Agender people!!
June 23rd: Polyamorous people!!
June 25th: You’re not sure of who you are yet and are still exploring or you’re just utterly confused? Today’s your day to shine!!
June 27th: Today’s the day we remember those who are no longer with us.
June 28th, 29th & 30th: These days are the days we talk about our experience. Whether it’s a coming out story, experience with being closeted or how we came/are coming to terms with our identity!!
Note: being heteroromantic does NOT necessarily mean being heterosexual. If you are a heterosexual human being, we are sorry, let us do our thing.
YO THIS IS FANTASTIC BECAUSE IT’S THE MOST INCLUSIVE CALENDER I’VE SEEN OMG THANK YOU FOR COMING UP WITH THIS SCHEDULE
