Friendly reminder to white LGBTQA people

fandomshatepeopleofcolor:

  • You being LGBTQA does not make you any less white than straight white people
  • That means you can be as racist towards people of color as straight white people
  • That means you benefit from white privilege as much as straight white people
  • That means gay men do not have a “sassy black girl” inside them  
  • That means that you should not appropriate the culture of people of color
  • That means that you can still fetishize people of color and reduce them to an object for your sexual pleasure
  • Being LGBTQA and being oppressed for it does not warranty that you would have remotely any idea about the oppression faced by POC for being POC
  • That means you need to stop speaking over LGBTQA people of color
  • That means that you have to realize that the homophobia/transphobia/biphobia/aphobia faced by LGBTQA people is often racialized.
  • That means you have to be more intersectional about your LGBTQA activism.
  • That means that you have to stop speaking over and about LGBTQA people of color

Bringing this back for pride month!!
