ive said it once and ill say it again but if you live in like . california or another state where lgbt shit is decently accepted please be mindful of the fact that others have it worse than you. Indiana very recently tried to pass laws that allow for same sex couples to be banned from restaurants, in lots of states conversion therapy is still legal, and gay people are still beat for simply existing. think about that please
not to mention in lots of countries its still very much illegal and people are killed for being lgbt
yes this is fine to rb. if u live in a privileged place id appreciate it.
lol “privileged place” like sorry to break it to you but white non-GNC LGBT people being accepted doesn’t actually mean those freedoms or visibility apply to anyone else. white gays walking around in SF and LA doesn’t change all the violence LGBT people of color face nor does it change the ostracization that gender non-conforming people/people of color face.
y’all really lack the ability to approach these convos with any nuance. the whole “uwu this entire state is a progressive haven” is garbage.
Also like? I get yelled at often for using the men’s room even though I live in Good Liberal Massachusetts. A good friend of mine got sent death threats because they’re gay and trans. I have friends who’s parents are Devout Christians and believe their identities are phases or whatever. There’s kids in my school who have actively made jokes about wanting to kill all trans people.
Can we not devalue oppression and violence queer people face just because we live in states that arent “as terrible” as others because the idea that some societies are completely accepting of LGBT identities is beyond false.
