A statue of Christopher Columbus was pulled down by protesters in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2004. The former “Columbus Day” is now marked as Indigenous Resistance Day.

Liberalism is supporting gay marriage while ignoring LGBTQ homelessness.

"I also expressed my concerns that drone attacks are fueling terrorism. Innocent victims are killed in these acts, and they lead to resentment among the Pakistani people."

So not only does Lady Gaga have a song that fetishizes burqas, but she also has a song called g*psy. No. Just no.

It should be no surprise that the things affected in the government "shutdown" are the CDC, the NIH, HUD, the Department of Justice, the EPA, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and WIC -all things that disproportionately, if not entirely, support marginalized groups. The only saving grace is that employers may not be able to check a workers immigration status (YAY!) But, don't worry, ICE and all other essential/national security (read:oppressive tools of the state) are still running.

thanks fellow lgbtq tag editors, whatever would we do without predatory liquor companies exploiting the lgbtq community’s high rates of alcohol abuse by attempting to associate their products with our liberation! ~*~pride~*~

[friendlyangryfeminist]

hey five bucks that this only ran in magazines like The Advocate thus never reaching straight audiences, not challenging straight people to even think we exist or that we use the same products as them

but sure as hell preying on LGBT+ people!!!

Within women’s and gender studies, the language of intersectionality is often appropriated to mean putting together already existing theoretical frameworks, or including the experiences of those “left out” of white feminist projects, in a way that evades theoretical consideration of race altogether. Thus, grappling with intersectionality is often mistakenly reduced to a call to include the experiences of women of color. Sidestepping the challenge to feminism inherent in the theoretical and political project of intersectionality, this framework of inclusion fails to confront racism for a number of reasons. First, to include women of color into women’s and gender studies leaves the core concepts of the field intact and suggests that the lives of women of color are just another area of study that can be analyzed in the same way that white women’s experiences have been. Rather than take seriously the theories of race and gender and the feminist politics that emerge when the experiences of women of color are centered, inclusion simply invites women of color into a project that has already been defined in relation to the experiences of white women (Alarcón 1991; A. Smith 2004). Instead of taking intersectionality as a call to fundamentally transform (or abandon) frameworks that cannot grapple with racial difference, inclusion frequently preserves those frameworks as they are by simply adding to them. Second, inclusion often fails to take into account the relationality of different women’s experiences and instead repositions white women’s experiences as the norm from which experiences of women of color differ. As Elsa Barkley Brown notes, the point is not just that women of color and white women have different experiences but rather that racism is a structure of power in which ‘white women live the lives they do in large part because women of color live the ones they do (E. Brown 1992, 298). Finally, including the experiences of women of color does not require the development of theoretical approaches that demonstrate how race is gendered and gender is raced beyond the scale of individual experiences. What emerges from inclusion is a focus on accounting for different identities rather than on critically interrogating the mechanisms of power by which particular identities are produced as such.

Popular representation of “LGBT,” to scale.

Desis are probably one the most underrepresented people in American media. When Asians are in the media it’s mostly Eastern Asians. The only time we see Desis are when people are calling them terrorists. Y’all will not take this away from them. Ms. Nina’s win is historic and I’m not here for people trying to slander her with hearsay bullshit. And to the people calling her “Slumdog Beauty Queen” I hope you Jai Ho yourself off a cliff.

oh man you know it is totally fucked up that the idea of a grown woman having pubic hair is considered some transgressive kink or whatever.

tbh what i hate most about macklemore isn't that he's straight

it’s that he sells some boring-as-fuck, assimilation driven, apologetic innate sexuality narrative that just isn’t fucking true and is harmful to queers who choose our sexuality, who can’t and won’t assimilate, who are the most vulnerable to all systems of oppression

i’d hate him even if he was queer, that dan savage wannabe asshole.
