Honestly thank you for being open to listening, I appreciate it especially since I came out the gate hot and sarcastic. It was coming from a place of reignited trauma, but it wasn’t good.

I’m of an age and from a place where that erasure and silencing in the media happened literally, to queer people around me. That being a national problem was a huge part of why queer newspapers exist to begin with, so acting like they shouldn’t be highlighting her queerness just brings all that up at once. It’s scary to think about how we’re heading back in that direction in a lot of ways.
