#pride was a riot
My new tattoo! I got this on the anniversary of the start of the Stonewall Riots.
….and in light of the tremendous amount of hostility I’ve recently seen towards queer people of color in particular, I’d just like to point out something that’s been really bugging me lately:
Most of the people who vehemently insist on tagging queer as “q slur” will still tag n***** as “n word”.
Think about that for a second.
Now I don’t know if these people are so queerphobic that they actually believe that saying “the queer community” is worse than calling a person of color a n*****, or if they’re are so anti-Black that they think that the word n***** isn’t a slur, but frankly? I don’t really care which it is.
Whatever the reasoning, that hypocrisy is inappropriate on every level, and it needs to stop.
