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.
Western ally behavior is so selfish. Once it gets uncomfortable for the “ally” or they have their beliefs challenged, queer people become much less human in their eyes and need to be discredited somehow.
It makes me furious how few online spaces are truly safe for the community, don’t doubt that there are tons of cis comrades who see you as completely valid with no strings or nefarious bullshit attached.
