Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.

Give op their hard-earned notes

So since pride is coming up, I wanted to make a quick reminder that the cis straights™️ are not allowed at pride.

Pride is only for lgbt+ people. Straight cis people are not allowed to be allies or stand up and support us. It’s just not a thing.

We will actually have gaydars this year, at the entry to pride. There will be a whole security thing you’ve got to go through first. They’re gonna wave you down with queer detectors just to make sure no cis straights get in there.

If you’re a bisexual or pansexual dating the opposite gender and you want to bring your s/o you might as well go home right now. Please do not bring your cis straight friends or significant others to pride. Even if your circle is full of cis straight people and a lot of the people you love and care about and who supported your through your lgbt journey, are cis and straight.

You might offend somebody by appearing to be straight and remember, pride is about making people feel comfortable and accepted and welcome so we just can’t have any of that. Same with like, trans people who might appear cis or really any lgbt+ person who doesn’t appear lgbt+.

Pride isn’t about catering to the cis straights (even if you’re not actually cis and straight and people just assume that you are) so please, no matter how badly you want to support a good cause, just stay home this pride.

I was about to get so angry at OP. It pisses me off so much that there’s actually people who would agree with any part of this

BTS Makes History As “Love Yourself: Tear” Enters Billboard 200 With Incredible Ranking

bangtan:

BTS has soared to new heights on the Billboard 200 and set an amazing record!

Billboard has now announced that BTS’s latest album “Love Yourself: Tear” has entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 1 for the week ending in June 2. This is the first time a K-pop artist has ever topped the Billboard 200 chart. The previous highest ranking for a K-pop act was set when BTS’s “Love Yourself: Her” reached No. 7 last year.

The Billboard 200 ranks the most popular albums of the week in the United States, and it’s based on multi-metric consumption, including traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

According to Nielsen Music, “Love Yourself: Tear” earned 135,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending May 24. 100,000 of that total is from traditional album sales, 26,000 from SEA units (with 39.1 million on-demand audio streams for the album’s tracks), and 9,000 from TEA units.

Billboard also notes that “Love Yourself: Tear” is “the first primarily foreign language No. 1 album in over 12 years” on the chart, since it’s performed mostly in Korean.

The group’s new album has been breaking records both in Korea and around the world, first setting a new record for stock pre-orders in Korea and then recording the highest number of albums sold in the first week on Hanteo, with over 1 million copies sold. Their title track “Fake Love” also earned the group their first ever “perfect all-kill” on the Korean charts, meaning the song topped all major realtime and daily charts simultaneously as well as iChart’s weekly chart.

While “Love Yourself: Tear” and “Fake Love” took the No. 1 spot on iTunes charts around the world, the music video for “Fake Love” became the MV with the 3rd highest 24 hour views in the history of YouTube. “Fake Love” also reached the highest ranking yet for a Korean artist on Spotify’s Global Top 200 chart.

The new rankings on Billboard’s other charts will be out on May 30, including the Hot 100, Billboard’s top songs chart. Many fans are waiting to find out how well BTS’s “Fake Love” has done on the chart! Stay tuned for updates.
