12 Arrested At NYC Pride Parade Outside Stonewall Inn

Twelve people were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after obstructing the NYC LGBT Pride March outside the Stonewall Inn, police said on Sunday.

Marching behind a sign that read “No Cops, No Banks,” the demonstrators appeared to be protesting the increasing corporatization and police involvement with the annual event.

Yknow one of the worst possible things people say is “if they ID as queer than they fit under some other LGBT category so they shouldnt use queer they should use that other thing instead” like it just shows a extreme lack of understanding why people ID as queer and it makes me wanna go back to IDing as only queer just to spite people who say stuff like that

“To be fair, I never said that all [gender or sexual minority group X] are vile parasites upon the LGBT community – just [narrowly defined subset Y]. Of course, I automatically assume that all [group X] are [subset Y] unless they can prove to my satisfaction that they’re not – and good fucking luck proving a negative! – but that doesn’t make me a bigot. Heaven forfend.”

“aces think they’re lgbt just because they’re not normal”

yeah it just sounds like someone used normal as a shorthand for, accepted as the default under cisheteronormativity. like i get you that it’s reductive and definitely gives off a bad vibe

but like. you know our sexualities and genders are non-normative right. as in society literally will never, can never accept us as ‘normal’. some of you are acting as if that’s shocking

“if lgbt+ people have always existed then why aren’t they in history books?” shit. you got us sharon. you’re right, we’re a recent invention. the truth is, chad, gay people were invented in 1974 when there was a m*a*s*h episode about a gay soldier. bisexuality wasn’t invented until freddie mercury wrote “bicycle race” in the late 70s. the song starts with him going “BI” really loudly and we were like hey thats a cool idea lets be into multiple genders. and then ellen invented lesbians in the late 90s on her sitcom that was pretty cool. please don’t be mad at me fellow gays i just thought it was about time to give up the ruse, donna over here already figured it out anyway

so i might have an angry rant going but.. i want you all to start being more intersectional with things.. because this isn’t good enough.

when you are marginalised in many ways, there will be overlaps of traits, and you will have a specific experience from being multiply marginalised.

very often this will be labelled as intersecting marginalised identities… that is literally what intersectionality means – you recognise that people who are marginalised in multiple ways have a specific unique experience from that.

i’m autistic, and i’m queer. this shapes me and makes my experience among autistic and queer people differently from the straight and allistic people in the respective communities.

additionally, a huge part of autism is not grasping social constructs, and struggling to conform to social and cultural things.. a lot of conceptions of straightness is artificial and cultural.

this means that a large part of my perception of straight society will be impacted by me being autistic. i struggle to relate to others’ experiences, and i find a lot to be performative… and you know, as a queer person – i find it beneficial to think of it this way too.

and i literaly cannot just say that these things are because i’m one of the things.. i’m not autistic sometimes, queer other times.. i’m always autistic and queer.

i have an intersecting marginalised experience.

shitting on people who literally label this intersecting experience, is being dismissive of and not recognising properly that people can be marginalised in multiple ways, and it is not intersectional activism.

so please stop.. and perhaps recognise that reality isn’t always your black-and-white social theories on what lgbt+ is and what disability is.. and perhaps don’t throw people under the bus who already have a hard time fitting into multiple communities.

i see this shit mostly coming from allistic lgbt+ people, and i just want you all to know this is not ok.. and you all are making lgbt+ spaces unsafe and unwelcoming for people who are multiply marginalised with being disabled/nd + lgbt+.
