[Rosendall] said protesting police presence at Pride overlooks decades of work spent improving relations between the D.C. LGBTQ+ community and the police force; the department even has an LGBTQ+ liaison and is considered a model for inclusion.

god go fuck yourself. if this is who I think it is, he stood between counterprotestors and literal neo-nazis celebrating at a bar - not with his own body, but by lining up other cops. even the fucking cops on the line had the decency to cry over what they were doing.

Some of the most insufferably chuddy gay men I have ever known basically decided to drop all pretenses of caring about the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community the moment gay marriage was legalized.

Yeeeeeah I don't know what had me throwed more, the Gen Xers who tapped out as soon as they got the right to marry and started pulling the ladders up behind them, or that wretched invertebrate simpering for swine about "oh wah we spent so much time 'improving relations'" when they should've been spending time leaving the swine in outlines. Just more evidence of settler-queers being the weakest link

Does the experience not give you ANY sympathy for anyone who isn't a white, cis, able bodied, neurotypical man?

This goes all the way back to the early suffragette movement where voting rights were to be extended only to white middle/upper class women.

This is simply the core ideology of liberalism. Capitalism cannot function without social antagonism - someone has to be exploited. You literally cannot take that out of the equation. And if equality is extended to every social group, who else but one set of people are you going to blame the ills of society on?.

Middle class gay and lesbians got a moment of peace and turned their back on everyone else.

Crazy that they pulled that shit and then turn around and act like they should still have a place at our table; like nah, they decided to go play collaborationist with the State Department and now these cracker motherfuckers are slapping rainbows on bombs and Stars of David on Pride flags. There's no pride in it for me anymore; I'm ashamed these traitorous sellout motherfuckers are what the actual international community, no crackerverse sees Pride as.

Every time I see some settler-queer, Amerikan or Israeli, using the Pride flag as just another tool of gentrification, it makes the bile rise in my throat; leaves me in a state of "well fuck. No wonder they hate us, if our enemies present our standard to their enemies."

Not 10 years ago, even now in the vast majority of the world

And they're still trying to outlaw homosexuality today. They haven't stopped.

Ooh, picking that one up

I’ve run into a fair share of black and brown queer people who parrot the anti-radical talking points like they grew up in white NIMBY neighborhoods with zero self awareness.

That's turncoat misleaders; we've been dealing with their like since ~~Jim Crow~~ literal Amerikan slavery. Back then, you could just count on it being the house slaves; nowadays, anyone will tapdance for a couple extra bucks regardless of where they stand on the gradient.

For real, it seems to be an awful idea to be anything less than perfectly polite as a trans woman. I do it sometimes by accident and sometimes deliberately... I haven't experienced anything bad relating to this on here yet, but generally people lose their shit at you so quickly and with such ease.

Uhh sweaty my ex boyfriend was abusive and yelled at me so I have trauma over hearing AMAB voices so speaking while trans in my presence is a misogynistic hate crime. No I'm not transphobic, why do you ask?

This is probably a very specific form of discrimination but I've seen much more hatred towards pan people like myself from gay and lesbian people, even bi people, than from cishet people. That's probably because homophobes don't bother to learn what pansexuality is, but it's very upsetting to me to have seen fellow queer people throw me under the bus because they think I'm 'looking for attention" or whatever.

To me, being pansexual means I'm attracted to people regardless of their gender, and being bisexual means I'm attracted to all genders. It's a small difference to people who aren't bi or pan but to me it's very important. So seeing queer people say that I don't fit in with them just makes me feel awful.

these "AFAB only" queer spaces are a nightmare for me as a masc-presenting trans woman. all semblance of allyship, even from other transpeople, goes straight out the window. i think the overall pervasiveness of transmisogyny in society makes it so that the TERFy "trans women are nasty men" narrative picks up traction even among other queer people.
