My street had a block party for 4th of July yesterday and there was someone visibly queer there. My mom pointed them out to me and asked "why do they have to shove it in everyone's faces?" (The person was wearing overalls with rainbow suspenders and had an undercut, thats about it lol)
And I could talk about that old argument but what really struck me was "why do *they*"
*Those people,* not me. Am I not included because I stay quiet about my queerness around you all? Or is this just part of your aggressive avoidance of the fact that you have a queer daughter?
Happy Yankees Get Out day! Please boost
Now's a good time to remind everyone that the American bastards still own numerous military bases across Okinawa. They bring terror and disruption to communities, they rape and pillage innocent people, and they poison drinking water with oil and carcinogenic chemicals!
Okinawa is not a US colony! If you can, a donation to the Peace for Okinawa Coalition will aid protestors and international international efforts alike, in order to regain Okinawan independence from the US and Japan.
