Hey LGBT Activists,

ethiopienne:

You do know that it’s possible to fight for LGBT rights without appropriating the Civil Rights movement, right? And that the Civil Rights movement is not yours to appropriate? And that dismantling homophobia can be done without perpetuating racism? And that—huge shocker here, I know—some people are both black and queer?

Just checking. Because it really doesn’t seem like y’all are aware of this. So consider this a friendly reminder.

P.S. Gay is not the new black. Stop saying that shit.
