Dont think only Black people were fuming at the news of the racist blame games going on in California and the rest of our country. Yes, i am white, and yes, im sure that has given me a level of privilege at points in my life but I am also a Queer woman who understands the importance of intersectionality in our community, and when i say “our community” I mean Our Community… me, you, all our gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, cisgendered, intersexed and straight brothers and sisters. Im talking about Him, and Her and He and Ze and It. A REAL rainbow moment IS underway, unfortunately were not as interesting to the news as a group of people buying into the misinformation of the media and showing their asses. Dont buy into that ploy to divide Our Community… become more critical, and way more radical but dont feel like that makes you isolated. Join us at http://www.artisticrevolution.org

Unfortunately, and I say this as a white queer cisgendered woman, the gay community is starting to develop something of a reputation for throwing its more invisible members under the proverbial bus. The racist response to the passing of prop 8 and the trans-exclusive ENDA supported by the HRC and other big wig gays are two reasons why I find myself becoming more and more critical, radical and, sadly, isolated.
