Okay, but is it good? Because as a member of the alphabet crowd, I don't care if it's lgbtq friendly when I'm gonna be bored shitless by a mediocre plot.
Okay but allowing subs to perform oral as a form of reward is so hot. You’ve been good so I will allow you to pleasure me, and you’re gonna thank me
when the guy is cooking and his gf comes up behind him and gets her hands in under his shirt to run them up to his chest and kiss his neck the mood is frankly divine and the vibes are simply pristine

“We were told we [could] only talk about the effects on our lives of being attracted to other women or femmes because “no one is oppressed for being in a heterosexual relationship.” We were accused of internalized homophobia… or being the reasons lesbians are fetishized and making lesbians look bad - that bisexual women were the reason why straight men thought that lesbians were sexually available… I never understood it, but it came up a lot… If you didn’t seem like you were a lesbian, or could be confused for one, then your position was a lot weaker. Your opinion didn’t quite matter as much. You were less likely to be one of authority in the group. Your loyalty to the community was more likely to get questioned. You were more likely to get accused of your ideas being part of the problem. Any time something came up, and you talked about it from the perspective of not being a lesbian, you were more likely to be told that your need to bring that up was part of the problem of why progress wasn’t being made.”

“Students felt that bisexuality was invisible within LGBTQ+ campus spaces in more ways than one. For example, they noted that their LGBTQ+ spaces were demographically homogeneous, frequented predominantly by cisgender gay and lesbian students. They also felt the LGBTQ+ campus spaces to which they had access upheld very particular depictions of what queer identities should look like, and bisexuality often did not fit into those depictions, additionally, they all noticed a lack of bisexual representation within the programming done by LGBTQ+ offices and organisations. Programmes offered were either completely exclusive of bisexuality or inadequately represented bisexuality when compared with lesbian and gay identities. Overall they were frustrated by the lack of bisexual representation in LGBTQ+ campus spaces. They often needed to take matters into their own hands by hosting educational opportunities around bisexual identities, history, and issues, and creating bisexual-specific spaces. Basically, they felt that as bisexual students, if they wanted bisexual representation, they had no choice but to represent themselves.”

If you give $100 to a homeless person, they'll be in shock by your generosity. They'll feel guilty taking such a ridiculously large amount of money from you.
But if you give $1,500 to your landlord every month, next year they'll demand more unless the law literally says they can't.
Meanwhile, people demonize the homeless person as a "freeloader" while respecting the landlord.
