Banking for queer people by queer people should be a post office bank.

    I love how it was obviously fucked up when I was being called a queer and a removed by other kids and my family, but the second I get out of school I'm getting called a queer by libs on the internet or fucking BANKS, except somehow now I'm the asshole or even an actual fucking bigot for calling that shit out as homophobic/transphobic. Absolutely love that :stress: :internet-delenda-est:

      Uh how about taking any time to read what other queer people have wrote about reclaiming the word? It's not a new concept, not sure why some people treat it like it's impossible to reclaim a slur like has been done in the past

        Yeah, but not everyone likes the reclamation and having to see the phrase the associate with bigotry and their trauma being used casually; especially by straight cis people.

    You're driving in a conservative town in jersey, you live paycheck to paycheck, maxing out different credit cards just to make it by. You're on e and you know the next gas station is the only one for miles. You pull in as your hands start sweating, the pump worker wearing a blue lives matter hoodie approaches your car and your hand shakes as you reach for the only credit card with a balance on it: Daylight, built for queer people by queer people.

    He sees it's yellow and calls you a beta male and a coward. Literally no one has heard of this card. The pump won't accept it and you have to call someone to bring you money.

    Its like a normal bank, but the letter you get informing you that your account is being closed due to lack of funds ends in a keyboard smash.
