academic weapon but in a way where the weapon is like a water balloon, or perhaps a shitty toy lightsaber where the ”light”-part keeps dropping back down every 3 seconds

Go Girls Go! | First Dyke March in Washington DC, 1993

I attended Pride in 1995 in Atlanta and "Dykes on Bikes" was marching directly behind "Dykes With Tykes". This immediately created a huge stir among my group of onlookers! Because we all wanted them to join forces as "Dykes On Bikes With Tykes On Trikes".

These two groups were followed by Digital Queers--"We're here, we're queer, we have EMAIL!"

I doubt there was a single person at that march who hadn't been called a homophobic slur--and that includes our straight allies! But we defanged those words. We changed what they meant to us, because even gay or lesbian is a slur when someone screams it in your face.

This. This is solidarity in shared reclamation. "they can't say it"

They're SAYING IT TOGETHER as part of a UNIFIED FRONT. Rather than letting others tear them into disparate little bickering subgroups.
