In a truly unpopular opinion, I don't think asexuality itself is lgbt+; your romantic interest and/or gender identity (or lack thereof) does. Cis heteroromantic aces are not lgbt, y'now?

Wasps aren't that bad.They're just trying their best :(
Maya Angelou, while an entirely respectable activist, is one of the most overrated poetic/literary icons of our time.I literally never heard of her until recently so I'd say she's underrated. You may not like her writing style, so that may be why you think that (I'm not into poetry myself so I rarely like any writer who's specialized on it)
Megan le Faye wrote:Nah, you make a valid point. It isn't really her writing style I dislike though, but more the fact that her prose is predominantly comprised of very, very simplistic themes and full of juvenile truisms. If somebody wants to hop on here and defend a couplet like "Pretty women wonder where my secret lies, I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size." they are a more dedicated literary critic than me lol. It's nothing to do with her vocabulary or the way in which she articulates her thoughts, just that I personally like reading poetry that contains a little more depth and meaning than I'm sexy and I know it, DEAL WITH IT! Lol. Caged Bird is a lovely, poignant piece, but for the most part I find her work to be incredibly shallow and kind of vain in an unnecessarily self-validating way.Maya Angelou, while an entirely respectable activist, is one of the most overrated poetic/literary icons of our time.I literally never heard of her until recently so I'd say she's underrated.

I may not be a good source for that since English is not my native language though. Eh, what do I know

I've heard her heralded as one of the greatest poets of the modern era more than once.Maya Angelou, while an entirely respectable activist, is one of the most overrated poetic/literary icons of our time.I literally never heard of her until recently so I'd say she's underrated.

I had to read O Auto da Barca do Inferno, which was an allegory written in a poetry-theatre form, and it was HELL (just like the story I guess lol). Not a very fun experience.
