Friendly reminder to white LGBTQA people
You being LGBTQA does not make you any less white than straight white people
That means you can be as racist towards people of color as straight white people
That means you benefit from white privilege as much as straight white people
That means gay men do not have a “sassy black girl” inside them
That means that you should not appropriate the culture of people of color
That means that you can still fetishize people of color and reduce them to an object for your sexual pleasure
Being LGBTQA and being oppressed for it does not warranty that you would have remotely any idea about the oppression faced by POC for being POC
That means you need to stop speaking over LGBTQA people of color
That means that you have to realize that the homophobia/transphobia/biphobia/aphobia faced by LGBTQA people is often racialized.
That means you have to be more intersectional about your LGBTQA activism.
That means that you have to stop speaking over and about LGBTQA people of color
