Hife Morning Glory

HIFE night at the Garden was a hit

Firstly, none of this is bullying, the idea that this is bullying is absolutely laughable. In addition to that there has long been valid criticisms of Kurtis Gabriel's activism which tends to be centred on himself as the one doing the activism. In his, and in turn, Brock McGillis' responses to the situation it is clear that they viewed this situation through their whiteness. Too often white queer people, specifically, white gay people are less radical in their LGBT rights activism than their POC counterparts. Brock McGillis, and by extension Kurtis Gabriel, have very clearly bought into a kind of respectability politics that shames public pressure as though public pressure is not the way so many battles in the LGBTQ rights movement were won. This comes from their whiteness because they have been brought up in a society where they belong and are shown that they belong since childhood. Meanwhile, queer people of colour and trans people have not been raised with the same sense of "belonging" to the culture and are thus more willing to push that culture in very specific ways to achieve their goals. Asking Brent Burns to say "trans rights are human rights" is in no way bullying. Talking over actual trans people in this situation because you don't agree with their tactics on the other hand shows a disrespect to the wants and needs of a community that you claim to be an ally to.
