intracommunity things lgbt people on here should be discussing

• racism / antiblackness / antisemitism / islamopobia / hatred toward other non-christian non-western racialized religions / xenophobia 
• transmisogyny 
• ableism and lack of accessibility and resources for disabled lgbt people
• the phenomenon of homonationalism, what it looks like, what it entails 
• the commoditization of pride and its entrance into the neoliberal mainstream 
• youth homelessness 
• abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, both at the hands of straight people and within gay relationships 
• normalization of age gaps and power imbalances (e.g. the coercion of young lgbt people to pursue older people because of social alienation from peers their age) 
• lack of support for lgbt survivors who speak out about being battered/abused/etc by someone else who is lgbt 
• serophobia within the community toward ANYONE who is HIV+, which includes cishet sex workers / cishet poc / etc + general elitism and aversion toward people who have STI’s 
• lack of sexual education 
• stigma toward addicted and alcoholic people 
• mental illness and mental health issues in general 

what lgbt people on here instead discourse about:

• ace discourse 
• who “gets” to reclaim a slur
• who is “allowed” to use a word/term
• “this word/experience is x-specific or x-exclusive and if you relate you’re x-phobic” 
• who is “more radical”/”more oppressed” 
• “everyone hates [x group] on here lol” 

#i mean roll my eyes at homonationalism but yeah

@stillrunmp3 Yes, I too am a white person from New York, like you, who rolls my eyes at the fact that white LGBT gentiles are joining neo-n*zi and white nationalist movements. I roll my eyes at white western gay couples participating in the exploitation enacted by the surrogacy industry against the bodies of women from the Global South. I roll my eyes at white LGBT people advocating for invading and imperializing West Asian countries because of the homophobia/transphobia that West Asian LGBT people face. I roll my eyes at white same-gender couples abusing the children of color that they adopt. I roll my eyes at white LGBT people naming organizations after Stonewall while also calling the cops on Black Lives Matter protestors and queer/trans Indigenous organizations. I roll my eyes when rainbow cop cars and brands advertising at pride are seen as signs of progress. 

And I’m sure you know what homonationalism actually means or who coined the term and I’m definitely sure you’ve read the book that popularized the framework.
