HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, ALPHABET MAFIA
just a few reminders:
- first pride was a riot
- black & BIPOC queer people are the foundation of our entire nation and the global culture
- we owe most of our rights and progress to BIPOC trans women/femmes and different communities of lesbians, trans/gnc folks and elders.
- trans people have always existed, they are ancient and indigenous to many cultures and places and are SACRED.
- Iâm glad youâre here and there is community out there for you, waiting with open arms. Donât give up just yet, please.
- rainbow capitalism isnât liberation
- we are all we have, be fucking better to each other
- lesbians have done so much for lgbtqia+ people and should maybe idk stop being erased for no reason
- biphobia is real and just bc your ex cheated on you doesnât make it bi folks fault, youâre projecting babe
- being queer doesnât dissolve white privilege, pls touch grass
- be safe at pride. theyâre coming for us all and we need to protect ourselves.
- not everyone wants to use the word queer/dyke/fag etc. Iâm glad you reclaimed the slurs used against you, me too, but not everyone wants to and you need to respect that. LGBTQIA+* exists for a reason.
- the black and brown belong on the flag.
- the A is for asexual/romantic or agender, not ally.
- get some pussy (or whatever you do (or donât do)) and make space for joy! because black/queer joy is revolutionary and fucking righteous just as much as our anger is, too
- Juneteenth coming up too, issa parade in my city fr
- asexuals/aromantics belong at pride. Period. Full stop.
- safe sex is the best sex
- get tested!
- itâs okay to not watch the news. america is hell, go take a nap
- people 100% know themselves better than you ever will, people are who they say they are and you donât get to decide that for them. respect pronouns, identity, etc. or argue w ya mama/god/someone else cause it ainât finna be me â€ïž
- you deserve relationships that feel safe and actually are safe. Donât settle.
- learn your queer history. they wonât teach us. they took our elders from us.
- Black LGBTQIA+* history IS Black History.
- we all need to be thankful to the house mothers and the ballroom scene and those who gave us what we have now, regardless of who you are.
- donât call yourself a stud if youâre not BLACK. wit a capital B and at least one BLACK parent.
- not everyone is out. happiest of pride month to yâall. youâre still gang and we love you just as much. đ
- our collective liberation lies in the fact that we are all tied to each other. if youâre down for the gays but not the theys, youâre not as decolonized as you think you are.
- shout out to fanfiction writers who have been single-handedly providing queer art/content/representation for years while the industry continues to make a mockery of us or intentionally leave us out. one thing we gonna do is help someone find their queer awakening, and get that story right. love us đ€Ș go team
- your life means something. itâs important beyond comprehension. you look good. your ass is fat (if you want it to be). get the mullet as a lil treat.
- LGBTQIA+* people across the board have ALWAYS existed in literally every culture and every continent (and Antarctica counts if you count the cute lil gay penguinsđ). Donât let them tell you different. We are not a âmInOrItYâ, we have been MINORITIZED. we are not small, we are great and mighty and have ALWAYS been here. And we always will. We exist in the future just as we have existed in the past. We stand on the shoulders of MASSIVE collective ancestors. If thatâs not an indication to keep going, keep fighting, keep laughing, dancing, voguing, and keep showing up authentically - then I donât know what is.
- itâs gonna be ok baby. pinkie promise.
