Site Update
"Hey, hey! Look over here! I got in some more stuff for you to buy! but this time, I'm only taking mochi, because those are so, so tasty..."
The final round's currency is the Pride Mochi Packet! You can use these items to trade in for Event Shop content, or you can save them until after the event and open them into little Mochis (collectibles). Your choice!
This round, you can get a trunk of many different colored wings to celebrate your favorite identity.
There's also a box of sparkles that'll give you lots of sparkly backgrounds for your HA!
There's a lot of great items in the shop this time, so why not go take a peek?
Be sure to check out all the great pets - and some of them have very educational descriptions that you can check out in the Aywapedia.
Were you bummed to only have two Pride Candles? The Pride Candle is hanging out in the USD Shop for $5.00 so you can collect any other Teos you happen to desire. It'll leave the shop on the 1st, so act fast if you want one.
Who's excited for the 30th, the finale of the event? Get ready to open sticker packets and mochi boxes, and some other cool stuff for the final part of Pride Month!

Yay. :)
Sometimes I can get so messed up when trying to type and when it's something that is passionate to people I don't want to mess up and not say something properly. Now only if my Spanish would go so well.lol

ApocryphaAnimus (#65125) it honestly started with my asking where the Gray-Ace items were this time around and that's when the unnecessary "well just be happy there is pride items" comment. So no one here in the convo is at fault it's a harmless conversation of people trying to get their point by to others. I Don't think anyone here is very upset at anyone in particular its the subject in general.

I have no idea how to tag people in the news comments and I don't feel like figuring it out. I do have some things to say here though. I am not someone that gets involved much in the community here because I get tired of everyone arguing and acting like they are the only ones in the world that have to struggle with anything with no thought what so ever to the fact that the person/people on the other side of the screen has anything relevant going on in their own life.
Yes, I think Pride events both online and offline are fantastic and build awareness. I fully support it considering I'm bisexual and it took me years to admit to it and, even though I'm 35, I just told my mom. We have a fantastic relationship, but I still felt like she was from a different generation and wouldn't understand. However, I also have a problem with my sexuality because of the gay community. I have heard time and time again that I am trying to be trendy, bisexuality doesn't really exist, etc. Not from the hetero people that I have encountered, the LGT (I refuse to associate the B in that because, as stated above, I'm told I don't count.)
I haven't seen anyone asking for a straight pride item. If someone wants to see a straight ALLY item then they should be supported. How can anyone really expect to be taken seriously and have people fight for their rights if the people that are the majority are told that their (supporting) opinions don't matter. That is just not the way reforming societies mindset works and you are just as bad as the oppressors if you think that behavior is acceptable. It is juvenile at best.
Also, in reference to the attacks on Rob that I have been watching, he is my husband. He is amazingly supportive of not just me(and also dealing with my bipolar roller coaster), but of our 14 year old daughter that identifies as genderfluid bisexual with her preference being women. When she decided to talk to us about this she went to him without me because she knew how much he cared for her and that he would support and love her no matter what. She has a hard time going through this confusing period of her life, especially living in a small town in the south and he is always in her corner because he's that kind of person. She has had some really serious issues that we have had to address and Rob was there every step of the way.
The people here shaming him and anyone else because they want to participate in an event that is around to celebrate differences in sexuality and bring awareness to a much needed topic without having it implied that he shouldn't participate are just being bullies. You can think that is not the case and that these people are somehow trying to suppress you with their support, but that is victim mentality that sets the cause back. Embracing each other and our differences is how change and reform come about. Preach tolerance of everyone, not the select few... That is how you make a real difference.
You can comment galore to what I have said here but I honestly feel like there will probably be nothing worthwhile said so don't expect a response.

And before anyone asks, no, he did not ask me to post, nor has he said much about all of this to me. I watched on my own and waited for him to go to bed to say my piece.

klutzyleo (#6371) No.
Just. NO.
There will be absolutely no "Straight Ally" items.
There are a TON of ALLY items. I have re-phrased and edited over HALF of the items in the last TWO WAVES to be ALLY items as WELL as PRIDE items.
I am sorry that the planned ally items never happened, but it was NEVER EVER going to be labeled "STRAIGHT" Ally, because that is a TOXIC and horrible distinction.
How can you hear us talking about the hate that we are actively receiving from folks, and STILL insist that we include the word STRAIGHT in a PRIDE item.
Be proud of being an ally! PLEASE.
But the SECOND you insist on it being STRAIGHT Ally?
Just think of it as insisting it be "White Plantation Owner Coloured Person Supporter" to put it in an equal perspective.
Saying you support Equality? FANTASTIC!!!
Insisting that you sepperate yourself from those "Abnormal, Tainted wretches" NOT OKAY....
I am going to do a book tomorrow on why NORMAL is the most disgusting and toxic word on the planet, and so help me, if someone else insists on using it or STRAIGHT alongside Ally for describing a group that claims to be supportive, I will loose my cool.
Completely.
So. Not. Okay.
Also, Rob, we need to talk later. Hopefully you can learn from my posts tomorrow.
