"allies" and coming out
I have been trying to think of how to best articulate this thought but like, it seems like a lot of parents and other folks who I guess see themselves as allies to queer and trans folks but definitely are very passive about it think that not having a big response to someone coming out to them is like the peak of allyship.
But like saying "it doesn't matter" to someone who has spent a lot of time building up the courage to come out to you is kind of devastating.
idk how many grammatical mistakes i made in that post my brain is on fire and i have no idea what im doing
homophobia, important
Please keep an eye out for people trying to brand monkeypox as a "gay disease", explicit or otherwise, and push back hard and early!
I've already started seeing the same kind of "the damn gays fucking everywhere" rhetoric that also popped up during the first years of the AIDS epidemic in the US. That rhetoric was directly responsible for (tens of?) thousands of deaths.
We absolutely *cannot* afford to let homophobes gain control over the public narrative around monkeypox, and let them use it to once again kill queer folks by denying them crucially important healthcare.
