Quick reminder since apparently it bears reminding in both directions: if bigoted people, closed-minded people overall, or your own internalized insecurities misinterpret a queer person’s message in a way that hurts/endangers you, yeah, it sucks, but it’s not the fault of the queer person in question, nor should it be a reason for them to silence themselves. They’re probably as hurt/pissed as you are that someone misinterpreted and misused their message to do harm.

Of course sadly there’ll still be queer people that actually DO mean harm and dismissal to other queer people – I ain’t speaking for those and it’s not the best way to ensure their and others’ wellbeing imo. I’m just saying – not all people will be like that. That’s what I want to believe. So hopefully let’s not put everyone in the same bag, keep supporting each other, WHILE allowing each other to advocate for our own visibility, without having to self-erase or self-censor to accomodate to what haters might say.

In panel 1, someone wearing a hoodie in the colors of the asexual flag says “Not everyone is comfortable with sex and not everything has to be about sex” while someone without any identifying clothing stands behind them.

In panel 2, that colorless person is now speaking to a person with a rainbow shirt on, saying “See this is why there should never be kink at pride.” The asexual person frantically shouts behind them, “hey hey hey no no no”

In panel 3, three figures wearing a pansexual shirt, rainbow shirt, and bisexual shirt respectively are saying together, “Our sexuality must be expressed openly, proudly and freely!” Once again, there is a colorless person standing behind them taking in their words.

life goes on like this again
