Rationally Glassed (and other abused metaphors)

At this rate, Colbert might actually be held accountable in the near future for making transphobic jokes.
Go trigger warn some shit
That’s not transphobic, though. He’s making a point that because the LGBT agenda is “barreling forward at full-speed” that the B and T of LGBT is being left behind. Everyone is focusing on the L and the G that there are people who have no idea what the B and T even stand for. He’s not being transphobic or making a slight meant to make fun of or harm the bi and trans* community. He’s making a point that no one is focusing on them because they’re focusing on the lesbian and gay community.
Mother. Fucking. This.
People really need to realize that EVERYTHING Colbert says while on camera is satire.
Satire: The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the cotext of a play, novel, fiilm or other works.
He is not making a transphobic joke. He is not honestly saying that bi and trans people do not count/matter/exist. He is making humor in order to shed light on the fact that they are forgotten.
He is doing this to raise fucking awareness that there is more to LGBT than LG. He is raising a big flag that says “Hey, don’t forget about these guys. They count. They matter. Why aren’t you doing anything about them? Why aren’t they discussed?” He is not trying to say “They don’t matter.”
So please stop with the self righteous, self pity, “social justice” comments unless you know what you are talking about.
I do appreciate that Bisexual is matched with bacon. I rather enjoy bacon.
This is why I love the Colbert Show.
Yeah, drawing attention to bi and trans erasure through satire is not in itself biphobic or transphobic.
Come on guys. Satire.
Isn’t there like a pride sandwich which is LGBT which is lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato? Because I either heard about this or had a delicious dream…

It’s fine, it’s a hoax. Nearly had myself a little panic there…

I did 56 lengths in an hour today
and I am really fucking proud of myself. I am a little fat girl who is in absolutely no way athletic, and my favourite hobbies are all sedentary. I chose to do something good and go swimming and try to be slightly healthier. Doing 56 lengths is a big deal for me.
So that’s why I’ve moved this little personal fanfare to tumblr, because when I posted “56 lengths in an hour - yay!” on facebook, I immediately got 4 nasty comments about how my efforts aren’t good enough and about how it doesn’t show and I’m still fat.Well, duh. I know that. I’m already good enough at putting myself down without anybody else helping, thank you very much.
Everybody has to start somewhere, and I am starting here. Don’t be such a big bag of cuntmuffins, and just ignore me if you can’t be happy for me, ok?

“ Tebbit also said he had challenged a minister about legalising gay marriage at the same time as ending male primogeniture in the royal succession.
“I said to a minister I know: have you thought this through? Because you’re doing the law of succession, too.
“When we have a queen who is a lesbian and she marries another lady and then decides she would like to have a child and someone donates sperm and she gives birth to a child, is that child heir to the throne?”
Tebbit joked that the change could allow parents to marry their children as a way of avoiding inheritance tax. “It’s like one of my colleagues said: we’ve got to make these same sex marriages available to all. It would lift my worries about inheritance tax because maybe I’d be allowed to marry my son. Why not? Why shouldn’t a mother marry her daughter? Why shouldn’t two elderly sisters living together marry each other?”
”—Gay marriage bill may lead to ‘lesbian queen and artificially inseminated heir’
(via englishteacheronline)
Aside from the homophobia, he clearly didn’t think this through, since straights can already marry and yet mothers are not marrying their sons and fathers are not marrying their daughters… BECAUSE THAT’S ALREADY ILLEGAL AND WILL REMAIN ILLEGAL. Brothers and sisters don’t marry, so there’s no reason why sisters and sisters will marry.
SILLY PANDA.
