What are you fighting for?
While we are fighting over language, legislatures are stripping away our rights You’re about to be erased, but rather than focus on the real enemy, you’re wasting time frightening off the people who might be the foot soldiers willing to fight at your side.
Let me ask a question: What is important to you? Your marriage? Your right to have intimacy with the person you love without the very real threat of being incarcerated?
What about getting the surgeries you need to be your true self? What about the right to control your own body? What about the right to not allow quacks to practice legalized torture — otherwise known as aversion therapy — on LGBTQ youth?
With that, let me ask one more question: Which is more important — angrily debating the uses of language and chastising people whose language doesn’t meet certain standards, or spending that time organizing to actually fight back against the anti-LGBT backlash that has already started?
