#context: i'm chamoru

[problematicpeniswriting]

I'm very fortunate to live in my indigenous land where we have a pretty open queer community. But that means that when I'm hit with the "Everyone's bad here. Everyone sucks." I have to remember that's totally racism and very much consequences of American colonization. Because, while yeah, it is just generally dangerous for queers at times to be where home is at times, The U.S isn't inherently better.
