A rant that started off on Twitter earlier...
Because yes, actually, I am still furious and ragey over this.
I like to look at the newspaper headlines every day, even if I don't buy a paper - it's good to keep track of whatever's terrifying the Daily Mail today, just so I can be sure to like it/them - and this morning I was in Asda with my mum and grandad so naturally I went to have a look.
I found this:
FLAMES. FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE.
I was literally speechless, and I still haven't regained full coherency. I know it's the Daily Express and all, but oh
my
SFry.
I have NEVER been so fucking angry over a newspaper headline in my life. Whoever wrote that should be taken outside and shot, I don't give a fuck. FUCKING BASTARDS. THEY ARE ALL HATEFUL FUCKING BASTARDS AND I FOR ONE HOPE THEY GET TO EXPERIENCE THE JOYS OF BEING IMPRISONED IN A COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN BE TORTURED AND KILLED FOR DARING TO FALL IN LOVE. THIS WAS A CASE OF THE SYSTEM FINALLY DARING TO SHOW A SHRED OF HUMAN SODDING DIGNITY AND A SUGGESTION THAT SOMEONE IN POWER ACTUALLY HAS A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN GODDAMNED RIGHTS, SO SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP, BECAUSE YOU WRITE FOR A HATEFUL SCRAP OF RANCID SHIT-STAINED TOILET PAPER AND YOU SHOULD BE SO FUCKING ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES YOU NEVER SHOW YOUR SMUG WHITE UPPER-MIDDLE-CLASS UGLY FUCKING FACES IN PUBLIC AGAIN FOR FEAR OF THE RITUAL PUBLIC SHAMING YOU WOULD RECEIVE FROM ANYONE WITH HALF A GRAM OF HUMANITY.
*breathes*
I finally made myself walk away before I set the whole pile of papers on fire. Luckily they didn't stock the Daily Star, or I might have followed through on that daydream.
Because it turns out that the Star, for their headline today, went with 'NO ROOM FOR GAYS'.
Brb, hating everything.
