I can’t speak for others
But
collapsing my identity into a mass marketable identity doesnt sit right with me
There are no labels
No ideas
No phonemes
or memes
that can fully articulate my being
“Pride” Is permitted by the patriarchy as long as it serves a function.
&
It does
It severes actual queerness from those who have no choice, to those who can do both
&
We call that progress
I call that pavement
Concrete over the culture that cannot adopt the adolph type society.
Some of us actually do hate white supremacy
&
Recognize how much of what we think we love, desire, and are passionate about
Are all distractions
From what we’ve done.
