You mention the "fetishization" of little people in porn, etc. I'm of average height, I like porn, and yes, sometimes I like sex that doesn't involve getting to really know who someone really is. So do a lot of other people gay, straight, tall, short, whatever. You make it sound as though any type of porn or casual encounter is victimization of some sort. I sincerely disagree. Are you trying to tell us that there aren't little people who enjoy sex outside of a meaningful relationship? Last time I checked, little people were the same as anybody else. Some like porn and casual sex, others don't. Please don't try to paint everybody with the same brush.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-25780296077222798092008-12-29T16:22:00.000-05:002008-12-29T16:22:00.000-05:00My best friend is a gay little person!My best friend is a gay little person!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-69112835820328290712008-12-23T14:48:00.000-05:002008-12-23T14:48:00.000-05:00Nik, it isn't within my range of experience, but n...Nik, it isn't within my range of experience, but neither are many of the things I post about, I seek to create education for the community, myself, and its allies. I hope through this blog 'Queers United' that I can attempt to provide a voice and platform for all sexual and gender minorities. I am just trying to learn and advocate like everyone else, and always welcome input and correction when I am wrong or misinformed.Queers Unitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-29772177495637521442008-12-23T14:40:00.000-05:002008-12-23T14:40:00.000-05:00...I'm sure this is very well intentioned, but the......I'm sure this is very well intentioned, but the tone of this sounds a little like "the poor" LGBTQI people of short stature have been waiting for your magnanimous entry in order to create community and be happy as individuals. <BR/><BR/>I think it's a touchy space; you're obviously posting this as an ally, but it's not something that it directly within your range of experience, either, and it is easy to make generalizations and assumptions on a population.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-78770518224399029112008-12-22T22:28:00.000-05:002008-12-22T22:28:00.000-05:00Anon-Well I think most of society is ignorant with...Anon-Well I think most of society is ignorant with regards to LP and LGBT people.<BR/><BR/>Steven-Thanks!

I can see how the little people of our community could be seriously misunderstood or disregarded. I have never met a GLBT little person, but I'm sure I'd offer as much acceptance to them as I would to the rest of us. Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-69619868331968177422008-12-22T15:24:00.000-05:002008-12-22T15:24:00.000-05:00I would be careful about the way you phrase things...I would be careful about the way you phrase things, such as: "Little People like LGBT people are considered 'freaks of nature'." It suggests that little people are considered by everyone to be "freaks of nature," rather than by ignorant people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
