As I've always said, the GLBT community is a microcosm of our society at large.<BR/><BR/>Every 'ism' that's in the parent society is present in our subset of it.Monica Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702533200851174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-88066578034641984022008-11-08T01:19:00.000-06:002008-11-08T01:19:00.000-06:00I am leaving this comment here instead of at your ...I am leaving this comment here instead of at your post on the Bilerco because honestly that does not seem like a safe space right now. I have already gotten into a huge disagreement on another post and I can't take the emotional drama. I just wanted to say thank you so much for writing that post. <BR/>It said exactly what I have been trying to say for two days and yet did come close to expressing as well as you did.<BR/><BR/>It just shocked me how quickly people turned to racism and in truth I am deeply wounded by it. I went to the Bilerico to say that I was so sorry about the loss and was confronted by the filth in the comment section. So thank you for standing up and calling out the racism for what it is. Thank you for pointing out that the GLBTQI community has ignored blacks. Thank you for pointing out that the way forward is through building a coalition with POC instead of throwing hate,<BR/><BR/>If I had not been the hugest fan of yours to begin with I would be now. Ok gonna go cause now I'm crying.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388113393817266374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-75351788265719500832008-11-07T16:20:00.000-06:002008-11-07T16:20:00.000-06:00Renee,That almost happened.
