Love is Love

Black Power and Gay Pride aren’t mutually exclusive. the first pride was a riot led by trans black women.

Reminder that we owe our rights not to corporations putting rainbows on everything, not to white cis gays, but to queer and trans women of color.

Reminder that queer liberation goes hand in hand with racial liberation, with anti-imperialism, with decolonization.

Reminder that other queer people are not your enemy, that all m-spec, aspec, nonbinary, trans, and polyamorous people are not only valid and welcome, but inherently fundamental to the queer community.

Reminder that corporations are not our allies, that true queer liberation is not possible within capitalism.

Happy Pride eve! We are putting the finishing touches on our first episode for pride month, talking about activist Simon Nkoli and the first South African Pride!

I fucking hate people using NBi or gNB to mean nonbinary. We already told y'all not to use NB to mean nonbinary because Black people coined it first to mean non-Black. So then y'all White queers decided, "Oh, well, that doesn't work for me, so I'm just gonna use a term that's basically the same as NB. Haha, I'm so clever." It's disrespectful as fuck.

Use enby. Use nonbi. Use nonby. Or use enbe, enbee, nonbe, or nonbee. Any-fucking-thing but something that has NB in it!! It's not that hard to respect Black people and their terms. It's really fucking not. Stop stealing everything from us. I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of y'all doing this to us.
