Well Thank you for the History Lesson. It's too bad that such things had to happen but that's just the way things went.

I mean yeah? It is bad. but I don't think we can just say that's the way things went, that shows apathy and if we don't care about and study the past we can't learn from it and improve

Sorry, I'm all for learning and trying to Improve, but part of my brain feels that We will still find a way to oppress someone so there was no sense in being optimistic of it never happened.

@CWPoofToxicRush

Again, American Idiot needs to stop being relevant

Also I mean sometime we get some respect in general and temporary fake respect form corporations during pride month

@kat_i_am

I mean like a crap ton of countries are/were absolutely terrible to the community
and it makes me really mad
like we literally just fought a war against Hitler who was killing everyone he found undesirable/unfit (which included members of the lgbt community) and now we're being super xenophobic! Heck!!! I kinda hate America sometimes!!!!
also uh I hate that everyone glosses over the fact that the eugenics movement started here in America
and- okay the Holocaust was absolutely terrifying and terrible and I'm not trying to belittle it- but everyone glosses over the trans-Atlantic slave trade, most of which fed the American slave economy, and like….. even more ppl died over the slave trade than during the Holocaust
like in the opening of Toni Morrison's Beloved she dedicates it to the "Sixty Million and More" who died during the slave trade
America is really racist and prejudiced and homophobic and sexist and has a lot of problems lol

I'm not trying to gloss over the fact that it happened, or be "optimistic of it never happened"- I'm actually advocating teaching it? If you don't teach something then history will rhyme itself (in words attributed to Mark Twain, history doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme) and we will keep making bad rhymes
Like it's easy to oppress someone- take away education- that's where the Cycle of Oppression starts. It's easy to to be prejudiced and hateful because being tolerant and loving and accepting actually takes work
We cannot afford to keep making bad rhymes. We need to break the cycle of oppression. It's not okay.
As part of the LGBTQ+ Community, and also as a member of a religion that the early members were literally run out of their homes and persecuted and driven across the plains and massacred, I know about oppression. It is a part of my history. And I will not stand by and have it be perpetuated.
