    This is such an incredibly awful take that completely disregards the very obvious problem that’s currently happening; what happens when it isn’t economical for those companies to support us?

    Everything the LGBTQ+ community has gained in the past decades was from our own activism, don’t pretend the capitalists were doing us a fucking favor.

      Activism, and as always, the ever-present threat of retaliatory violence that is all the state seems to respect!

      We need to get back to our roots.

      Your own activism and allies. I don’t see many LGBTQ+ in other extremely religious countries. I was thinking of Europe mostly and the bad times that are currently happening in the US are in sharp contrast to other countries where it’s still accepted. Countries like Russia and China are notoriously shitty towards LGBTQ+ people. So are extremely religious countries.

        ok… but they are capitalist countries using queer people as a scape goat just as the post says??

        sure this isnt inherent to capitalism, it is inherent to power structures as a whole
