So… ultraconservative religious and right-wing organizations recently launched a campaign against marriage equality.
… I hope no one is surprised.
Let this be a reminder, for those sections of the "LGBTI+" movement who happily threw under the bus trans and queer people, that continue discarding sex workers, that pushed away black people, migrants, "crazy ones", or generally just anyone who didn't quite fit the images pushed in the name of "respectability" and the doomed attempt to assimilate into the very system that has always actively attempted to mow down any "deviation" from its parameters.
Let this be a reminder, that those "respectable LGBT" are just as deviant in its eyes as those "others" they tried to cast away.
Because intersectionality is not just an empty word. Because every life matters, has always mattered.
And because no one is free until everyone is.

I'm leaving you with the words from Mike Stabile (images), since one can't say it much better.
(PS: this campaign really is just *begging* for reappropriation. I mean, seriously, ‘Children rights > Adult desires’..? Perfect! ✨ Children have rights to: sexual education, healthcare and vaccine access, history and critical race education, gender-affirming care, science-backed education, freedom of religion, *education*… Anyone feeling like it?)
