in imageThe call to split the TQ+ from the LGB is not new.
"Acceptable Gays" have tried to distance themselves
from Queers, Transgender and Non-binary folks
since before those words existed. Yet Acceptable
Gays were not spared in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s or
90s, no matter how subtle, rich or famous they
were. They still got their ass beat, they were still
outed and arrested under sodomy laws, they still
lost their jobs, their names were still printed in the
papers, they still lost their homes under moral
clauses, they still couldn't marry or serve.
Acceptable Gays still died of AIDS in droves.
Today's "LGB Gays" are not enlightened or
groundbreaking free thinkers, no matter what
social media says. They're clichéd bootlickers with
no sense of history. They believe this split would
spare them but our persecutors are just working
their way backward through the LGBTQ+. Those
who hunt us always come for the entire alphabet.
