There Are No Closets In Tipis…
… and no pipelines, police, prisons, and weapons manufacturers in a Two Spirit LGBTQIA paradise.~Jen Deerinwater, a DC-based bisexual+, two-spirit, disabled, journalist, activist, and member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. They were among those who protested the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL)atStanding Rock in 2016.
Deerinwater pointed to Capital PridesponsorWells Fargo’s involvement in the Dakota Access Pipeline, which spawned protests from the Standing Rock Sioux and allies, as one reason for concern, ‘Wells Fargo is one of the primary financial backers of the Dakota Access Pipeline,” she said. “As an indigenous person and as a queer person, I cannot understand why Capital Pride would work with an organization that is actively causing harm to our community members.” ~Indigenous Resistance: Crushing Colonialism

This was me at Capital Pride last year. I was walking around dressed as Xena, posing for photos and giving hugs, when I noticed these religious zealots with their microphones and signs spewing their messages of hatred. I always ignore them, but I noticed they were making some people in the crowd visibly upset. A few people were even crying. I couldn’t stand by and let that happen. I hopped over his little chained off section and stood next to him. He immediately turned and began yelling at me and telling the crowd I was going to hell. So I just kept smiling and making funny faces. He eventually gave up yelling to me and about me and tried to go back to taunting people. But no one was taking him seriously with me standing there posing. I’m sure they will be there again this year….and so will I. :-)
Actual Warrior Princess.
Capital Pride is coming up again. *straps on armor*
