thereβs a conversation here about how queer people who come from heavily poor, illiterate, traditional ass backgrounds have to put in fucking work to gain any real acceptance from the queer community so weβre not seen as ignorant and backwards but we also like donβt have community with our own families because of our gender and/or sexuality most times. itβs really rich that the progressive movement can acknowledge how poverty, illiteracy, religion, racial identity shape people but fully fail to understand it beyond good vs bad, enlightened vs ignorant, with us vs against usβ¦ like some of you fully cannot conceptualize a person thatβs with you and on your side if theyβre not exactly like you or deeply apologetic about where they came from because you look down on it. but i donβt really want to have that conversation with yβall.
