on june 12, the same mainstream gay media that has remained silent on the close into 5,000 deaths in puerto rico, which included lgbtq boricuas, will dominate and erase queer & trans boricua voices in their coverage of the 2 year anniversary of the pulse massacre. this is why we must remain to speak our stories to each other. always. every gawd damn day.
.
so on this day of the national puerto rican day parade, i raise up all of the queer and trans boricuas i shared time and space with during my time in puerto rico. they continue to remind me of the resiliency and pain of the queer and trans boricuas on and off of the island.

happy pride let’s please stop using hypothetical trans women of color as rhetorical props in every single conversation about queer oppression

hey man, if you’re ace and going to pride, please be respectful, this was a space specifically created for free sexual expression and embracing the sexuality normally shamed and denied to us by social norms and government apparatus

Shaming sex in this space or bringing signs along the lines of ‘proud of being sex-free’ is highly tone deaf to the history of gay, trans, and bi spaces that are meant to help us feel proud and specifically un-shamed for our sexuality
