Queerness is so special to me
im part asian and really distressed with the way we are treated in the queer community and progressive communities in general. We're often fetishized or desexualized, or straight-up ignored by white queer people, white trans people will take names from our culture without understanding it, and there's often an undertone when our often-ignored issues are brought up that we're worse than other people of color. more "white-adjacent" or something. our cultures are conflated and we are treated as though we don't matter.
its a huge problem and even anti racist queers dont seem to talk much about it? but thank you for bringing it up!
Queerness has existed all throughout East Asian history, in all sorts of different places. Peking opera, Korean warriors, and Japanese gay bars are just some examples shown in our queer history zine!
