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 feel like so many white, conservative gay people forget what it was like to exist as an LGBT person just 10 years ago

Intersectionality is so damn important

And they’re still trying to outlaw homosexuality today. They haven’t stopped.

Not 10 years ago, even now in the vast majority of the world

Well of course, but white liberals conceive of the world as whatever is happening in the west

Absurd to say, but we’ve gotten to a point where it’s no different than a straight man saying he’s LGBT. Like what exactly are you doing for LGBT liberation at this point besides being the equivalent of a scab?
