Yesterday, a queer Native American man was killed for being a human comfortable in their own skin, being who they are, and existing. Quilan (my husband) spared me most of the horrific details and asked me not to open any articles about it. That’s how bad it was and is out there, especially in red states like Texas.
This wasn’t the first and until we join together to fight this- I mean EVERYONE- this will continue. You are lying to yourself if you think otherwise and YOU are responsible if you continue to do nothing.
When the Nazi’s took over Germany there wasn’t social media, TV’s, and ways to let people know fast and in large numbers. Today you are actively making a choice to allow these things to continue by the way you vote, speaking up or not, and being the change.
Quilan and I both identify as queer but we have the safety of presenting as a straight couple. Many queer people do not have that safety net.
Please be a safe person for queer people right now. When this is recorded in history, what side do you want to be on? The side of love or the side of hate?
