It's like you people don't know how that word was coined. Just like, "clock," "tea," "serve," "read," "sickening," "ovah," "realness," "cunt," etc they're all ballroom (also drag) terms.
Please can we keep having LGBT+ movies and series like Red, White & Royal Blue, and Heartstopper? I'm TIRED of coming out stories [being the entire plot], bully-to-lovers trope, somebody dying, or worst case, period pieces where someone ends up hanging from a tree. I'M TIRED!
Nigerians think bc they're homophobic, everybody is "supposed" to be like them. So bc James Brown's father posed with her in that pic, it's making your blood boil? Sorry to burst your bubble, but they are some Nigerian parents that absolutely love and adore their queer child.
I'm sorry if this sounds insensitive but I'm going to say it either way.
After the story of that man who got lynched in Akure broke out, the sympathy garnered has been very surprising compared to the lady who got killed in a hotel.
Look at the state of the TL, look at the quality of conversations that is being had in big 2024, but if a sapphic says sth along the lines of "thank god I'm not heterosexual," cishet women will almost want to kill you and label you condescending.
The men that leave nasty comments like "stop lying to her," "tell her the truth" or "women like lying to theirselves" on women's pictures when they're being gassed up by their mutuals are the ones saying wizarab isn't ugly? I'm actually DYING.
That nignog is UGLY 😭😭
@blacklabrys
They also have the privilege of coming to the realisation of abuse later, on their own time. I HATE HATE it when I see men tweet rubbish like "wOw So ThIs Is WhAt WoMeN hAvE bEeN tAlKiNg AbOuT sInCe" or that foolish "i'M jUsT cOmInG tO tHe ReAlIzAtIoN tHaT mEn HaTe WoMen oOo" 🤡
All you c i s feminists with your covert transphobia, I see all of you.
You'll see an OBVIOUS transphobic dogwhistle but you'll still engage bc it aligns with your bigotry. Teaming up with c i s het men to uphold bigotry. Clap for your collective selves.

@SympLySimi
And you that's not focused on the LGBTQ community, what are you doing about the killings in Nigeria and whatnot? Instead of you to just shut up your mouth, you had to just come and offload your ignorance for everyone to see, now everybody knows you're incapable of reasoning, ndo
This "trans aesthetic" discourse is usually always centred around cis black women bc when it's a cis white woman, everybody's mind automatically knows it's the "bimbo aesthetic" and that in itself in problematic already.
You don't have "low porosity" hair, you just have product buildup from all those oils and creams you've been putting in it and the infrequent shampooing and conditioning.
Bold of you to think I need a recognized, shameless and impertinent transphobe like yourself to validate my sexuality. I didn't know it'd take this long for your homophobia to leap out. Imagine a cishet woman telling me "my only achievement in life is my sexuality" pfft, sounds-
@OGCHKWJNWS
And you are a nobody whose only achievement in life is your sexuality and that’s why your whole page is covered in it.
Being gay is not a personality or a career.

Knower of All Things, The Three Eyed Raven itself, Omniscience and everything in between, please enlighten us, what does the rainbow mean since you talk like you know so much about it, please educate us
Finally got to the point of my life where I can comfortably call myself a lesbian without feeling shame, disgust or repulsion.
I no longer say "I'm gay" bc I NEED to let people know the exact type of "gay" I am.
I'm still trying to understand how Oren and Neveah relationship in "Tiny Pretty Things" came to be, I must have missed it somewhere bc I was so surprised and confused when I saw them being cozy with themselves. Their kiss surprised me the most.
your daddy was a real nigga, not cause he was hard
not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind some bars
not because he screamed "fuck the law"
although that was true
your daddy was a real nigga 'cause he loved you
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
I NEED cishet people to KNOW and UNDERSTAND that saying "homosexuality is a sin so we shouldn't judge other for sinning differently bc we're all sinners" is not the stand up they think it is. It still denotes that being gay is sth that is inherently bad & that is still homophobic
A lot of people who aren't asexual had a LOT to say about that Zikoko article. "CaN nEvEr Be Me" YES, it can never be you bc you're a raggedy ass allosexual who should say out of asexual folks business. A lot y'all don't even know the diff between arousal and sexual attraction.
Girrrl, as long as a woman is on the receiving end of an unfortunate situation, a Nigerian man is ready to defend the actions of the perpetrator, no matter how heinous it is.
That babe that was seriously threatened because she refused to follow the man home after first date is being asked " how much did he spend on you?" Men are really trying to justify harrassment because he took her on a date, date he begged her to go on.
It's okay to go through many labels until you find the one that most fit, sexuality isn't set in stone and is very fluid, so take all the time you need, honey ❤️
This is a homophobic dog whistle and you know exactly what you're doing when you post pictures like this with this caption. Check your homophobia, sis, it's poking out.
Bastards like this will say idiotic BS like they have the most absolute genuine care and concern for c!s women. If you check his tweets, you'll see he's probably a misogynistic bastard. Women are fine, worry about the boy child and the male loneliness epidemic.
Nigerians will agree to this to the fullest until queer Nigerians are also acknowledged. You'll see them shaking like a leaf in the harmattan, that's when you'll start hearing nonsense like "focus, not now." Just look @ the number of folks agreeing w this statement in the replies
If we want our own lives to have value, then we must first agree and fight that every Nigerian life (and human life) has value, regardless of whether we agree with their politics, beliefs or choices.
A lot of c i s women's feminism hasn't gone past "man, bad. women, good" and it's so obvious in the way they voice their opinions. You chuck men's misogyny as "biological" and that's why you will keep going round in circles.

@SympLySimi
rainbow are produced by the reflection and dispersion of light through water droplets present in the atmosphere, but look at your mediocre explanation thinking you did sth there like everyone subscribes to your old wives' tales.
In Nigeria, empathy is only reserved for cishet men. I made a tweet one time about the difference in empathy shown btw that lady that was found dead in a hotel room and that young lad that was a victim of jungle justice bc they thought he was a yahoo boy.
On the one hand, nobody is saying ______ deserved to die because he was a cultist. Everyone understands that he’s a human with the full right to life.
On this same timeline, a woman would deserve to be killed because she took 100k from a man. *inserts 😂😂*
I detest you women.
The way they rushed to tag the lady an "ashewo" was too QUICK compared to how they humanized the young man. It's almost funny (not in a haha way) how the vast majority completely understood how it was a misunderstanding but empathy flew out the window when the story...
This is so dishonest bc men can really get creative with slurs for women, but when women do the same in retaliation, you're shaking like an epileptic. Moid was gotten from "foid," an abbreviation of "femoid" which is a derogatory incel term for women. It combines the words-
The way I twitch when I say takes like "homosexuality is a sin but who are you to judge since we're all sinning." Like??? Please and please, my sexuality is not a sin, homosexuality is not a sin just as much as heterosexuality isn't. Don't be an unfortunate human being, I beg you
I remember that time we had an LGBT "shoot your shot" space and heterosexual men had the AUDACITY to come on stage to shoot their shot at queer women 🤦🏾♀️ 🤦🏾♀️ the moderators wasted no time in kicking them out sha, it was cringe af
Nigerians are homophobic and rights for LGBQ people are trash in Nigeria, and we will table that one in its own time, but please, it is wrong for LGBQ people or LGBQ groups to hijack the

protest for their own cause.
Bringing your own flags etc divides the campaign focus

@SympLySimi
get off your high horse and stop thinking the world revolves around your BS, bc whether you like or not, in the grand scheme of things, you DON'T matter, now scurry along little girl with your scrawny looking self
I hate how straight people always feel the need to reiterate that they're not gay when they're in the presence of other gay people or when they're defending them here on Twitter. Like, what exactly is the need for that? It also makes it look like there's sth wrong with being gay.
about the lady came out. Like, it was so easy to believe that he probably wasn't a yahoo boy but the default understanding about the lady was that she was a hook-up girl. Why? (Rhetorical question)
Please, I want people whose entire identity revolves around their sexuality as friends. Like, if your identity isn't entirely about your sexuality, don't even engage with my tweets, I beg you in the name of the deity you serve abeg
You people only say things like this when it's rape, but when SARS was picking up guys every other day, bare men ran to social media to plead their cases
Y'all don't even want to know the kind of bullying effeminate boys face in high schools for just being fem and minding their business. Sometimes these bullies are girls (from experience) who like them and they dont like them (the girls) back, because you know why-
I hate the "Keyshawn is so stupid" takes I see every time. It wasn't funny before and it still isn't funny. If anything, I fear for her life. Derrick is dangerous, creepy, abusive and is well capable of killing her plus she has 2 children to think of, have some empathy
#PValley
Some ppl really have a hard time empathizing with black women in domestic violence situations and it shows🫠. Keyshawn stayed for various reasons. Asking questions like “she didn’t leave yet” or “she’s letting a white guy beat her” is beyond ignorant. Have compassion🙏🏽💕
#PValley
This is such a lie, you just want to be spoonfed information like you're a toddler or sth. Y'all argue that they don't offer alternatives when they literally tell you you only need shampoo, conditioner and one styler to care for your hair.
white stylists aren't speaking to white women in the rude, hateful, degrading way that Black hairstylists speak to Black women
Black hairdressers tweet like: "yall still using them nasty ass butters and oils. hmmm no wonder yall are some pig feet eating country ass bitches"
one significant difference I witnessed when I stopped using all oils/ leave in was how my hair stopped itching and smelling and how soft my hair felt afterwards. I promise you, if you wash and condition your consistently, you wouldn't need a leave in conditioner.
"coming out unnecessarily" ??? wtf does that even mean??? chile, y'all are vile on this app and it's so disgusting. how insensitive can you even be to say sth like that?? I really hate it here
Masc presenting women being not only transphobic, but ignorant too vexes me so bad. I have no interest in educating such. I will read you for filth and leave you to wallow in your ignorance.
There's how some cishet people talk about queer people, you just KNOW they've NEVER met any gay people in their miserable lives. Like, the only time they've seen or heard of queer people is from watching Netflix series.
For some of you het ppl sef, the only reason your parents haven't disowned you is bc you haven't dyed her hair another colour or cut your hair in a "funny" style yet. I know it's not in the majority, but these kind of parents exists so pack it up pls.
I can't put the entirety of my thoughts into words so I'll just leave like this. I'm not trying to be an inconsiderate bitch but the different reactions from the two situation really got me thinking.
I had a wonderful time yesterday at the Queering Christmas event and I got to leave with this amazing (so I've heard) book I've been trying to read for a minute now. Thank you so much
@Blaise_21
, I really appreciate the work you're doing for the community.
I really don't like it when people get overly familiar with me when we meet for the first time. It scares me and can be very overwhelming. I like to peel back my layers slowly, not all at once. You don't have to tell me your deepest and darkest secrets just moments after meeting.
