queer and not going anywhere 🌈

Books at a local cafe ♡

This is such a good watch:

Running an lgbt+ blog comes with a downside... Being bombarded by negativity, you have to learn to navigate the hate. Block, delete replies, but most importantly just try not to let it get to you.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, queer, everything under the rainbow.. They say we're just a trend, that we didn't exist years ago so how could we be real? What they don't tell you is what they don't know. We've always existed, we will always exist. They, before them, forced us into conformity, into secret, they killed us, they let us die, they promoted violence against us to try and erase us, they didn't teach about us, they tried to silence us. But we are here and we are not going anywhere and that may as well be a threat. When we are gone, more come, we can't be "eradicated". Remember the rainbow is only the rainbow with all of it's colors. There are no rights for me when there are no rights for you. Trans rights are gay rights, gay rights are bi rights, etcetera.
