That Gay Thread

[Rev. Rye]

The BLM movement is broader than just a single org. And besides having black LGBTQ people in key positions of power in the org, can you point to anything in their rhetoric that shows them pivoting to a focus more on LGBTQ issues beyond that which can be explained by intersectionality? Because I’m looking on the news section of BLM’s website, and I’m seeing stuff mostly related to black issues. Granted, there is some stuff related to other issues like LBGTQ rights and Hispanic rights, but that’s because, well, the white supremacist power structure negatively affects them as well, and they’re likely to be more effective United than divided, and there is definitely a skewing towards black issues. And, looking at GLaAD’s news section, what I’m seeing is more in line with what I see in a gay organization.

And notably, the merch I’m seeing on their merch page seems far more focused on black motifs than anything take. The closest I can come to anything LGBTQ specific is some shirts with flowers on them and another shirt saying black women are divine. And that’s really a stretch.

Honestly, I’ve had fever dreams that make more sense than Huggy does.
