“There is a greater sense of tolerance and acceptance, but oddly enough, [LGBTQ+] identity becomes the freckles and glasses of the 21st century. Queerness is written out of [LGBTQ+] identity as one’s constitutional difference is made one dimensional, aesthetic–like how the oft repeated message of not judging a man by the color of his skin leads children to believe that racism is absurd because it is about an arbitrary difference of physical appearance instead of its true basis in a long term history of cultural, political, and economic oppression.” by Chase Dimock
