Me, during pride: This is a gays only event, everyone else go home
What I actually mean: This is a gays, lesbians, bisexuals (even those in mlw pairings), transgender mens and womens, queers, genderqueers, non-bianarys, asexuals, and all other members of the LGBTQ+ community event only, plus the good allies who treat us like people and donβt sexualize us or patronize us haha. I only sayΒ βgays onlyβ because itβs a fun little meme in the LGBTQ+ community, but I really do want Pride to be for everyone!
