That Harp Guy: Silence is not an option for me. I walked others home from Cleveland bars with OUR baseball bats, because the kids from Parma would come up 12 to a station-wagon to "kill a couple queers" as their weekend entertainment. Police did nothing, so we had to ourselves. In many ways, we're still there.

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

I hope we all enjoyed our last Pride month in the US. Project 2025 will put an end to it

Trump is not worse than 1989, the year I came out. I couldn’t believe pride was even legal my first time. We patrolled Montrose on foot after the Broussard bashing & protested the RNC while AIDS patients died. We didn’t get here by being ALLOWED to! Break a law sometime jfc

Too many people seem to think “be gay, do crimes” is just a catchy slogan.
