Who told them this was okay. Who told them that announcing to a fan base of mostly lgbt youth that a character they look up to and admire is a gay man, who has a partner back on earth called Adam. Who told them it would be funny to get us lgbt fans excited at the idea of us FINALLY getting the lgbt representation we were promised.
Who told them it would be okay to take that excitement and use it to fuel our emotions towards their shitty show once it’s revealed that the second gay character they promised to introduce us to, is immediately confirmed to be dead.

Nobody told them. They knew what they were doing when they introduced Adam. When they confirmed that Shiro was a gay man. They knew they were building up hope and excitement. And they knew how devastating it was going to be when it was revealed that Adam was killed and that him and Shiro could never possibly get a happy ending.
As I type this out, I’m crying. I’m crying for myself as a lesbian, I’m crying for younger lgbt fans who will grow up thinking that they aren’t allowed to have happy endings. I’m crying for the gay men out there who felt they could finally see themselves fully in two characters who were in love. I’m crying as a member of the lgbt community. And I know I’m not the only one.

Lauren Montgomery. JDS. Fuck you. You know what you did. There aren’t words to describe how much this hurts.
You promised us lgbt rep and then laughed in our faces. You let yourselves take credit for having a gay man be the hero of Voltron. KNOWING what was in store for him and his lover. Knowing what was in store for lgbt fans. For lgbt KIDS who watch this show.
Fuck you. I hope you know you aren’t living this down. And we’re going to raise hell until the very end of this ugly show.

You ugly fucking homophobic pieces of human garbage. You’re done.

Let’s not forget that they said Keith was close to shiro because of his connection to Adam, or that lance would be someone’s first choice. How about how they said that allura wouldn’t be lances endgame and that he’d get what he needed and not wanted. Or when Lauren said she preferred the name laith. How about when she drew lance with the lgbt+ sign? Or when Jeremy hinted at lance being bi. How about the fans who thought they’d get not one, but two happy lgbt+ couples and that this show would be groundbreaking for lgbt+ people. How about when we got our hopes so high bc they said facial expressions mattered and put rainbows and bullshit in the bg. How about when they said Keith would be the one supporting lance. They lied, again and again and again until they got what they wanted. I hope you fucking realize what you’ve done, and that you never, ever forget the pain you’ve cause thousands of people, and the lessons you’re teaching lgbt+ kids across the world. You deserve the hate you get for this. Fuck you, you despicable, vile, homophobic pieces of shit.

🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.

Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.

This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
