[10-27-09] Queers abusing Queers

Hey there everyone! It's Tuesdays with Mia! Yay!
So like I say in the video I think this topic could be taken in many-o-way, I just chose to take the domestic violence approach since it's what I am most familiar with.

Some good resources:
OutFront Minnesota [www.outfront.org]
National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs [www.ncavp.org]
The Network La Red [www.thenetworklared.org]
Rainbow Hope [www.rainbowhope.org]
Survivor Project [www.survivorproject.org] **Highly recomended** (specifically trans focused)

There are resources in different local communities, you just have to look typically.
And, again, if you need anything as for resources or a point in the right direction, contact someone! My email is always open. YouTube username miaoverly.

@MrRookitty lol i always thought yall had it much better than us gay dudes, but i guess noone has it easy. it just seems like lesbians are more acceptable then two men. that's what it seems to me. but i guess i'm totally wrong. and lol i like that "I'm queer" that's cool

[MrRookitty]

@thenewkeg10609 haha it's all good there's nothing awesome about being a lesbian^-^. It's a pretty normal low key life,I just happen to prefer my long term relationships with women. I'm not too sure what the slang is in other places, but at least where I live I almost never get called a queer. it's not good to get called a queer, but it's okay usually if your just speaking all that technical stuff for the lgbt community, you'd say "I'm queer".

[thenewkeg10609]

@MrRookitty ohh okay i'm sorry i dind't know, i also like the term homosexual, but it's too long to say, so i just say gay. sometimes i feel less than a human being too in this society, but there's nothing much i can do about it. i use that's so gay all the time, but i gues i need to stop that. whenever i use it i don't mean disgusting, or stupid,. i mean come on i'm gay myslef, i just use it cuz i find it fun. you're a lesbian? omg i love lesbians, you're amazing.

[MrRookitty]

@thenewkeg10609 Actually queer is the more polite way of calling someone a homosexual today, anyhow. There's this really awful fad going around where if people don't like something they say, "wow that's so gay", like the object is disgusting or stupid comparing it with the same opinion of someone that's queer. I get pretty pissed off when someone calls me gay because it feels like I'm being called a less than human being.

@thebirdsatemyface ohh i understand now. for some people it's nice to use but some get offended.

@thenewkeg10609

A good discussion topic, is what queer means to you. It differs from individual to individual. To simply answer your question queer is not a derogatory term.

[thenewkeg10609]

You rock!! I love you! lolz

[thenewkeg10609]

dnt you mean gay community. damn it pisses me off when someone uses queer. now. i'm not american but i have been liveing here a while now and i know that queer isn't really nice. well or is it?

I'm weird. I get stuck in patterns.... so, I had to count how many times you said "umm" in this video. And that was 89 times.

I didn't count all the little "aa" words, it would have been over 100 then... As I said .... I'm weird.

:D

Very educational video. 30 percet is a lot! I'm horrified.
