Some people really need to step back and realize what really started the LGBT community. Why we specifically came together in our activism. 

It wasn’t a bunch of people saying “oh wow we’re weird together” but a group of people coming together who faced similar circumstances of homophobia+transphobia. People who were being murdered by their government. People being put on the streets, losing their jobs, and losing their lives. 

Watering down our history of it was a bunch of weirdos who wanted to be weird together ignores everything we’ve been through making us have to group together. Ignores the whole generation of voices lost in the AIDS crises. To murder. To police raids. To being thrown out of their homes. These acts are what made us come together out of survival. Not because we wanted to join a club.
