That Gay Thread

[Rev. Rye]

How do you even define an LGBT organization? Because I’d define it as an organization whose primary focus is on LGBT issues, and everything I’ve seen about BLM says it isn’t that. It may be a key issue, but it’s by no means the only or even biggest issue they focus on.

If Patrisse Cullors says LGBT people are core to the movement, that can mean they’re only part of the core. And that’s likely what she meant.

Honestly, it sound more like you’re looking for excuses to gatekeep blackness, even if it’s just by arguing that if someone or something has a certain level of engagement with other issues, they no longer count as black in your eyes.
