I can’t even watch Star Trek with my boyfriend because every time Data appears on the screen my boyfriend goes off with β€œhere comes that Real Good Boy love that Soft Robot Dude what a Cinnamon Roll Man yes-siree Absolute Best Boyo right there.”

honestly like. the sheer lack of resources available to lgbt young people about abusive relationships is killing us and abuse educators need to wake the fuck up and start providing specific, targeted resources for people in gay relationships.

i mean, i’ve had friends who are struggling in dysfunctional relationships say things to me like,Β β€œi don’t understand why we can’t figure out how to communicate, like, we’re both women” and i’ve had friends who are trapped in actively abusive relationships but are unable to think of their experiences as abuse because virtually all the literature on abuse is about the specific ways in which men threaten and terrorize women.Β 

i think because so many of us go through childhoods and early heterosexual relationships that are so traumatizing and lonely, it’s easy to believe that gay love is this kind of healing panacea, somehow inherently more pure and stable than straight love. and like. while unquestionably the vast majority of domestic abuse is carried out by men against women, gay relationships are not magic. they are made up of flawed people, and they can become dysfunctional, and people can be vulnerable to abuse within them. and we need to stop pretending otherwise and start figuring out how to protect each other.

I have just had a worst best idea:

Watch Star Trek in in-universe chronological order… Time travel included.

So you start by watching the 3ish minute scene of Voyager where a Q takes Voyager back to the big bang, then you move to the 4ish minute scene of Next Generation where Q takes Picard to the start of evolution on Earth, then to the DS9 episode where they go back to the 1930β€²s, then Star Trek 4 in the 1970β€²s.

Then you’re finally able to start watching Enterprise.
