AS is the operative term, its a long struggle but so far white LGBTQ have done a shitty job of intersectionality by and large. I leave this Billy Porter quote here:
I think there's a little bit of that — no, let me just say it — there's a lot of that in the gay culture, especially the cisgender, white, rich gay culture. I sat on the board of the Empire State Pride Agenda for six years, and that's an organization that really was influential in lobbying and fighting for gay rights, during the AIDS crisis all the way up through marriage equality. When these white, cisgender, rich boys got marriage equality and the organization's focus turned to transgender rights, those motherfuckers closed their checkbooks, and the organization of 25 years had to close. We need take all that energy and focus, and shift it on to those who are less than us. That's how it works. Internal vigilance is the price of liberty.
It is almost a respectability thing. In order for white, cisgender guys to get married, they distance themselves from the rest of the queer community.
It's no tea, no shade. We learn. When we know better, we do better. Now y'all know better, let's see what happens.
