I was kicked out of rentals multiple times for being visibly queer. I was scared out of some more by people who even moved after me, but made my life a living hell just for being queer. I was driven into near daily crying during highschool by my peers and sometimes even teachers. I was regularly spat on in public with no reaction from other people. I had a car full of tank top wearing men stop with the intention of beating me up when I was in middle school because they thought I looked too much like a “f*g”. To see people, some of whom apparently so privileged they don’t even experience systematic queerphobia as per own admission, claim us here aren’t queer is so hurtful because it feels like it dismisses my entire lifetime of queer pain. Sincere fuck you to the people who make those claims. Maybe you are the one who isn’t even queer and just sows discord amogus.
yea these claims are very malicious. their default assumption is that ‘this person is tankie therefore not LGBTQ+’.
the default assumption should be to believe that the person is saying they’re gay in good faith.
Liberals don’t believe that communism can progress in its views. It’s why you have so many people baffled when they meet non white and non straight people who are communist, and pull out some historical figure or event from the 20th century that was bigoted as some gotcha. Of course, they’ll want you to believe that liberal democracy has always been accepting of racial minorities and LGBT people. I mean, after all, black and Hispanic people are praising Alexander Hamilton. How could they be racist? And no, they will not consider adopting Cuba’s constitution.
