Other things that were terrible about Muslims and lgtb community many that I support and are friends but to make matters work they saw me quickly packing my groceries into the car a young women and decided to come over with his friends harassing me 2
“Calling me terrible names and saying how happy that Trump will finally put women in their place where they belong because we are worthless and they shoved me and ruined some of my food I had to keep my head down telling them to leave me alone (3)”
Tumblr didn’t send us the first part of this, and I’m really sorry it didn’t because I want to be able to fully address how much you don’t deserve any of what happened to you.
There is so much hate going around right now, and it is so scary. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I wish there was anything I could do. Just know that you are loved, and you are not whatever those awful people were saying. You are a human being worthy of respect and kindness.
I’ll be honest. I feel pretty helpless right now. I could lie and say that I feel prepared for this fight. I don’t. It doesn’t feel like enough to just keep putting love out into the world, but I think that’s the most important thing we can do right now. Provide safe spaces. Be an ally. Be a helper, like Mr. Rogers says. Show so much love to everyone that there can be no question that you will help anyone who needs it.
The worst thing we could do would be to let them tear us apart and tear us down like they so desperately want. We cannot let them win this war. This was a big battle, but we are going to win this war together.
