@Sandleaf
Note- I've taken down most of my old stories since the last one I've worked on was from 2020. It doesn't hold up to my current standards at where I'm at now. None of them have been deleted, just confided to drafts. I'm sorry for those who enjoyed the writing that I've taken down.
oh my god hey it's been a while, how are you? i hope you are doing well <3
Eee I literally saw you on a story and decided to check you out and I swear when I saw your bio I squealed.
How are you?

I mayyy or may not return to Wattpad? But if anyone wants to talk to me you can find me on Discord at Ravenfeather#2823

oh my god, it's been so long — hi!!
*charges* CHAT IS MINE
Eyyy it's time for some late night rambles with Raven-
Now, a few things- I am going to ramble about a topic that I've been keeping in mind for awhile and have heard said to me a few times, and it just- really bothers me.
As a heads up- I am a bi person who uses she/her pronouns- I'm sharring my thoughts and feelings after that. If you want to have a civil discussion with me in the comments- feel free to
Okay so- You've ever heard someone use the term, "Oh I don't hate the LGBTQ+ community- I just don't support it."
I honestly never really know how to react to that because- //it feels like something that sounds offensive// but like- In a few cases I doubt it's that actual person's intention, but like, I am saying, as a member from the community I, and perhaps others find it uncomfortable to hear.
Like, to put it into context, if you were to say "Oh I don't hate *insert racial or ethnic minority here*, I just don't support them-" That would be called out for being some sort of phobic-
It's basic human empathy to care about other people no matter there religion, lifestyle, gender, background, race or sexuality. You should support them no matter what-
Unless they are a bad person- Don't support bad people.
And you don't need to come out and be like- Idk, become hardcore allies out of nowhere- Just someone possibly saying that they are part of the community, a response of a "Cool- you do you." Is just- all that's needed before moving on. No fights need to be started or anything
Uhhh- that is all for tonight- Be sure to be decent human beings and have a good night!
@MollyIsADragonAuthor Yeah, like- you're not being rude or anything. It's understandable, and simply respecting people's lives or beliefs no matter your own- That's all that's needed. The main thing is just- the wording of this, and how it was used in some of the situations- really wasn't great.
@Sandleaf I think...when most people say that, I think they mean that that they'll still love and care about an LGBTQ+ person, and treat them like they would any other human. They won't hate on them because of their sexuality, but they're not going to go out advocating for it either because it might make them uncomfortable or something. I hope this doesn't offend you. I'm just trying to look from the other perspective. Personally, I'm one of those people who might have said something like that. But I still have plenty of friends that are LGBTQ+ but I love them just the same as I did before I found out. I love people because of their character, not because of their beliefs. Even if I may not agree with it, I still try to respect those people and their feelings.

I don't know if I announced the last thing so again-
