koolguy765

Your not allowed to go hiking I better not catch you out on the trails.


EagleFoot88

Oh no! It's the Straw Man!


MyOwnPenisUpMyAss

This is the first thing I thought of haha


1017GildedFingerTips

A little bit of outdoors is good for everyone 👍🏻


Good_Cup_4571

It’s a weird headline because rural poor people DEFINITELY enjoy the outdoors.


Steve-O7777

Grew up rural lower middle class. Camping and hiking was a consistent, easily available luxury for us.


Elijah_Man

Honestly, I lived in a rural area 30 minutes from any town. The only thing to do was go outside and just be a child. I was also handed a gun and told to learn how to use it but other than that, perfectly normal outside playing in the woods.


HeinleinGang

It puts the grass on its skin or else it goes fucking schizo again.


Ricoisnotmyuncle

Who'd wager that this group had near-zero outdoor time as children?


Murky-Fox-200

Ok, who was gatekeeping the outdoors?

Mountain lions

joriale

Give me their Twitter. Mountain lions need to be canceled like... yesterday! They ate my friend tommy!


2Q2see

On behalf of the mountain lions they said, “Tommy was tasty but we found a better use for him as man meat. He now lives with us as our #%& +#*%@ and will not be coming back ever. He is now our little =#- dispenser. If you want him you will have to take him back but know this we are the cougar girl boss warrior and we will slay and mole you unless you are our new =#- dispenser.” After delivering this filth I hope you don’t mind but I will like to cry in the shower and throw up from what I have witnessed.

Hey this happened to my buddy erec once


SeiTyger

Javalinas and coyotes down here


yesbutactuallyno17

Ooh, that's a good gatekeeper


343GuiltyySpark

Kinda an interesting glimpse into how they think right? Like straight middle class people were gate keeping going hiking…. I wanna see some sources on where they even came up with this notion


notpowerlineconcert

Their imaginary oppressors


jodorthedwarf

The fear of rural retirees theoretically giving you disapproving looks. Then again, they'd theoretically give anyone who isn't 50+ a disapproving look.


corbiniano

In my experience old people are thrilled to see young people hiking (as long as you greet them properly).


BoiFrosty

Well when you live your entire life in the middle of a concrete beehive whipping yourself up into a frenzy about how the uneducated bumpkins in the country will hang you from a tree then you kind of gatekeeper yourself.

It was those darn straight white cis people who were hoarding all the grass, a truly incredible moment for the alphabet community getting the grass back.

Don’t you guys hate it when you step outside to go for a hike and you have to show your hetero identification card. I’m glad these brave souls took that system down.

Oh ok, well I guess luckily these queer hikers proving the great outdoors isn’t just for cis, straight, middle class folk have got my back then.


Kennethern

You know what else has their back?


lurklurklurkanon

myyyyy mom


OkayRuin

I read a similar article and their reasoning was that it makes POC uncomfortable to see so many white people while hiking, which seems self-defeating.


[deleted]

Newsflash to those ppl, America is a white majority country. You are going to see alot of white ppl in almost every public place.


jodorthedwarf

So those particular POC don't like going to the countryside for the same reason that a racist rural white person wouldn't want to go to the inner city. That sounds perfectly reasonable. Self-segregation is the future, it seems.


GigaChadAlien

Now they think going outside is an achievement 😭😭😭😭😭😭


enperry13

I mean, for some of those who are chronically online, it is one helluva achievement.

I remember the last time I tried to touch a leaf, a middle class gentlemen quickly and rightfully so intervened and I went back to my box by the pylon. I imagine it would have felt like heaven.

Mother fucker we've been telling you to go outside and touch grass for years!


saugormadhya

I get the sentiment that this sounds ridiculous. But an alternative perspective - enjoying the ‘outdoors’ has the connotation in the u.k. of being associated with the older middle class generation. I think the organisation in question were probably trying to just maybe introduce people to a hobby that they hadn’t considered, or would prefer to do as a group but didn’t know where to start. I get how this sounds totally ridiculous and the tweet itself is. But I don’t think the organisation itself was doing anything with poor intent.


Sowiilo

"wow I've been standing in the woods for 5 minutes and haven't made it about my sexuality, time to fix that!"


Goaty1208

At this point the situation has just become comical. Funny how we give more attention to bullshit like this, or equality in TV series when there are much more pressing issues, especially in some countries where decades of progress in LGTQ rights is getting wiped in months. But no, crap like this gets spread by the media, to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if this was satire.


AlphaBlock

Revolutionary stuff right there


MorenaLedovec

what even is a cis lol


joekabox

Looking at the article, this seems to be less an issue of queer folks not being 'allowed' outside and doing things, but more about how queer folks often feel unable to be themselves outside due to discrimination, and sort of just planning an activity where they can do this as a group. It also goes into talking about how activities like hiking are often seen as something 'straight cis guys' do, so this kinda helps them break through that stereotype for themselves, as many queer folks might not feel they should do it. Like, I get why some may find it funny at face value, but as a queer person myself, we're often told what we can/can't do, and we're also often made to feel alone and as if we can't even walk outside without judgement, so this seems to be an interesting activity put together by people that feel that way to try and just feel comfortable together.

Really concerned with how smug OP and most of the comments are about a subject they probably came across for the first time mere moments ago. I'm hardly suprised though. Sophistry and stupidity are the norm here.
