i’m seeing a lot of posts like this so here’s some reminders you might not see this pride month:
- there is no single, unified LGBT community that agrees on absolutely everything - and that’s okay. a good thing, even.
- 30 year olds are not “elders”. neither are 40 year olds. old LGBT people exist.
- LGBT people did not go through a hard reset during the AIDS crisis. people from that era are still alive and their voices are still important.
- the consequences of the AIDS crisis are still ongoing and people around the world still need treatment for HIV/AIDS.
- intersex is not “cis nonbinary”, and many cishet intersex people are distinctly uncomfortable being perceived as LGBT - it’s important to acknowledge and respect their experiences, too
that’s all i can think of for now. be critical, be safe, have fun out there.
