fuck corporate pride, fuck israel's pinkwashing, and fuck the blatant apathy that white gay & trans people show towards people of color on the ground.
the lgbt+ community came together through immense struggle and sacrifice, but the most privileged of us have consistently pulled the ladders up behind them. i refuse to be in community or share space with those of you choosing to remain silent right now, over a year and a half into this genocide, when we all have the ability to stand up and fucking do something.
while jaia cruz remains in jail for rightfully defending herself against transmisogynistic violence, while city pride parades continue to platform weapons manufacturers, while politicians performatively prance around in june and turn around and protect the police officers that kill us… the question should be asked: what must we do beyond simply having pride?
you must reject the notion that these issues do not affect you, or that you have no power to change our conditions, or that your personal comfort is more important than the struggle. the european patriarchal gender binary was enforced on our people via violent colonization, and we still suffer the repercussions of this today. it is our responsibility to uplift the liberation of all peoples and fucking fight back against imperialism and neoliberalism. we must stand with the resistance on the ground. our struggles are connected. if the movement isn't anti-imperialist, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist in nature, then i don't fucking want it.
