This is gonna be a bit of a preaching to the choir, depending on who ends up reading this. I always see the way people talk about us and wanna stand up for this community, but I don't want to bring the negative attention towards me. Violet thought making a blog post about it would be a good best of both worlds.
I suppose I really don't have a right to complain about when social media platforms ban me. It's not like it's a human right to make posts on the internet, and there are people out there who have less and don't complain, but I still have the right to be upset about discrimination like this.
I regret not making a post about this at the beginning of the month, so posting it at the end of the month seemed like the appropriate thing to do.
I know it's not like me to push out so many blog posts in succession, but this is a topic important to me that I wanted to write about and that I talk about a lot: division.
Last night I met up with someone who had never met other MAPs before, but it wasn't just us, it was with my other friends too. Someone who felt alone a day ago now has friends that they can talk to about anything, people they can go to the bar with, or go to the park with, or whatever.
Alice Day was yesterday, and I forgot to make a post about it. I guess I was just too busy to remember, but busy doing what? Hosting an Alice Day picnic of course!
I've heard time and time again that MAPs need a “stonewall”. Stonewall refers to a series of riots against law enforcement who were pestering gays back decades ago, and it had a lasting impact as a pivotal gay rights event. People say we need ours, but no one wants to throw the first brick because we are too scared.
Thanksgiving is a holiday I am not too fond of, not only does it lead to awkward family get together, but it is based on an event taught to us all as a lie, a continued propaganda despite the fact that most adults know it is a lie. I am referring to the colonization “discovery” of America and the “peaceful” meal shared between the native Americans and European emigrants
Everyone is scared about a Trump presidency: women, people of color, and, what I'll be writing about in this post, queer people.
This is one of, if not the most, important American presidential elections of all time We are facing a tyrant that wants to restrict reproductive freedom, queer lives, and racial equality. If you are old enough, you can play a part in making sure the conservatives don't win this election.
