Not queer as in gay but queer is in a political movement against heteronormativity, amatonormativity, cisnormativity, ideals of parenthood with a single long term partner as 'THE natural part of life that everyone wants'
Queer as in sex ed for kids and the elderly, queer as in free condoms in old folks homes, queer as in destigmatize STIs and stop calling them dirty, queer as in pro-sex workers and decriminalization
Queer as in decolonisation, prison and police reform/abolition, as in education reform, as in medical reform, as in harm reduction clinics, as in not only more women's shelters but also men's shelters and gender-neutral shelters
Queer as in anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-transphobia, anti-queerphobia, anti-intersexism, anti-aphobia, anti-fatphobia, anti-islamophobia, and anti-antisemitism
Queer as in "yeah my gender IS sparkly blue and my sexuality is one you've never heard of and that's okay"
Not queer as in gay, but queer as in rallying call
Person I reblogged this from thank you for the tags!! I knew I was forgetting SOMETHING when I was writing it but couldn't figure it out, especially since I wrote stuff down and then tried to rearrange it and stuff
Absolutely,
Queer as in anti-ableism, queer as in pro-bodily autonomy and pro accessible healthcare. Queer as in "we don't have marriage equality until EVERYONE can get married, until disabled people can get married without losing their govt appointed money". Queer as in truly accessible spaces, as in built in options for people with different disabilities to participate in the environment, as in anti-forced hospitalization and pro- easily accessible medication.
