ok story time. as a straight person, i didn& #39;t know what polari was until louis made that post on IG and i saw everyone talking about its significance. i read up on it and understood that it was an important part of queer history. i asked 2 of my het friends if they knew what it
meant or if i was just dumb. but they didn& #39;t know. the point is, if louis was straight he wouldn& #39;t make a post like on IG. he wouldn& #39;t put that caption which is a polari slang (i won& #39;t say it bc i& #39;m not sure if as a het it& #39;s okay for me to say it). louis has no
reason to buy a polari t-shirt and post that if he didn& #39;t know its significance and what it means. it& #39;s called queer coding. for example, what business would i have, as a het, to post about polari and buy a t-shirt of polari? it& #39;s not my business and i have no reason to do it
so before you go invalidating queer history and saying louis wasn& #39;t queer coding, think about what we& #39;re saying. he wouldn& #39;t do that unless he knew what it means and how important it is. don& #39;t call it a conspiracy theory when it was used widely years ago.
i hope i worded all this correctly, please let me know if anything i said was wrong? hope this all made sensehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧍🏾‍♀️" title="Stehende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Stehende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">
i saw a lot of people today invalidating queer history by saying polari doesn& #39;t mean anything and when we asked them to educate themselves, they refused to and it pissed me off bc at least understand what points we& #39;re making before you attack ushttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
and i hope i& #39;m not speaking over anyone by making this thread? please correct me if i& #39;m wrong
