Description
Wanting to survive? I understand. Having to distance yourself from other queer people to be accepted? Let’s talk. 👀
When being visibly queer could get you arrested, blending in could be a survival tactic. That history matters. But so does asking what happens when chasing straight acceptance means pushing trans folks, drag queens, and femmes away.
You don’t have to use the word “queer” for yourself. But somebody else’s identity isn’t an obstacle to your belonging.
This week on Queer 101, I’m unpacking gay vs. queer, respectability politics, and the difference between protecting yourself and leaving others behind.
