Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what
And it frustrates me that so many people seem resigned to the notion that these malevolent assholes are just going to go ahead and do all the stuff they say they want to do in their little "project". Sure, they'd like that. But a lot of people are going to have things to say about it!
People seem EAGER to ascribe supernatural levels of competence to the people who are our enemies. Nothing in their history suggests that's accurate. They have just as many total fuck-ups as our side does lol. They can be beaten. Now beat them!
