it has come to my attention that some people are unclear what “queer baiting” means in a tv show

so let me try to set it down for you

a note before we continue: i focus mainly on being gay, however, I want to note that many times “gay” and “queer” are conflated as being one and the same, which is not how it works. Though “gay” is a kind of queer, it is not the only kind of queer. I would also go so far as to argue that when we refer to “queer baiting” we are usually referring to a very specific kind of “queer baiting,” ie, “gay baiting” because many other queer people, eg, people who are trans, are literally erased from most mainstream narratives because of their very obvious non-presence in them—it is hard to “bait” when their existence is not even acknowledged.

This erasure, this non-presence, is A Very Serious Problem, but for now, I want to focus mainly on queer baiting that usually occurs in a gay context.

that said, let us carry on:

Thank you. Reblogging for the Swan Queen Navy!

this is some important shit right here. and why “subtext” is no substitute for legit representation

This. I see you Rizzoli and Isles, Supernatural and Sherlock.

I feel like Rizzoli and Isles and Supernatural are a lot more guilty of this than Sherlock, though.  Because for all that they joke around on Sherlock, they also weren’t afraid to basically say that yes, Sherlock and John are a couple in their own way.  They may not sleep together but John’s jealousy was completely serious and not a joke in 2.01.  I think it would have been written as comedic if gay-baiting had been taking place.  Plus, they actually brought on love interests not to prove John’s straightness but to show us that at this point he really does care more about Sherlock than the girls he dates.  Again, not gay-baiting by the definition of the original post.

It’s like, John may be heterosexual and Sherlock may be aromantic and asexual (I believe?) but they’ve acknowledged that they are a couple on the show in a way they haven’t on RandI or SPN.

This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:

The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.

According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.

When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.

So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

When a girl tells you if you were the last man on earth she wouldn’t have sex with you, whisper: “Who would stop me?”. It shuts her up fast.

If a man ever says that to you, ladies, look him dead in the eyes and say, “I would.” If you have a blade, a personal tazer, or any other purchased or self fashioned weapon, now would be the time to lay it on the table. It shuts misogynists up fast. 

I bet heavy combat boots would be equally as effective.

So Quinn using her injury (which she is still very much recovering from and that she can only now barely stand up with a lot of assistance) to achieve votes for Prom Queen is wrong, but faking being disabled and using a wheelchair to force someone into giving you a job out of fear that you’ll press charges of discrimination against them and getting Rachel’s two gay fathers involved to make things even more unpleasant for them if they refuse, is perfectly fine because the ends justify the means? You hypocritical jackass

Welp, I totally forgot about Rachel’s ploy to help Finn get a job at their local Hometown Buffet…

there are more fuck you glee moments than glee performances

Oh shit, the roof just fell out of the continuity building

Well, obviously there’s a difference.  Finn’s a boy.

This line in particular – “whatever we have between us– love, family, whatever it is” – indicates Dean’s inability to classify their relationship. He is acknowledging that their mantra of ‘family’ is not the whole truth of what they are. He cannot define it, but he recognises that it is something which can be construed as destructive – a notion which is echoed time and time again.
