But even some progressive gay white men say they feel alienated from a movement they see becoming more radical, particularly online, where the tenor of conversation is often uncivil.
Hot take: I'm honestly, vocally sick of settler-gay men who demand that you handle them with kid gloves when their entire existence within the community is an existence blanketed in microaggression at best, when they're not being outright full-on macroaggressive about someone that 'doesn't fit their "preference"'; and I'm genuinely glad people are starting to talk about it.
I just wish it didn't take one of our own getting hashtagged by swine to get that proper sense of solidarity, tho. It doesn't surprise me-- I don't forget where I am-- but it shouldn't take a goddamn body, goddamn innocent blood, to get that same sense Pride was originally meant to enshrine.
yep, unbelievably depressing
