We got TERFs, sympathisers, or cowards in the Pride London directors.
Please notice how the TERFs are the ones with the ‘Lesbian NOT Queer’ signs. Being anti-Queer is a TERF DOGWHISTLE. To everyone who is anti-Queer but says, “I’M NOT A TERF!” you are absorbing terf lesbian separatist ideology that is fundamentally fragmenting and anti-unity/anti-solidarity in nature. Please consider the roots of your anti-Queer sentiment and why Queer, above any other word that can be used as a slur (but can also be used in an empowering, uniting way) is the one word that is verboten.
United we stand, divided we fall. Don’t fragment our vulnerable community, stand with your queer siblings against the people who seek to invalidate us and take away our rights.

Remember to look outside the mainstream presses. Don’t shut queer publishers out of queer lit.”]

THE GAY DANCE FLOOR, a composite blackout poem of three Washington Post articles on the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, for the first anniversary of the event, by Keaton St. James
“then, we became the wound pleading for the dead. / the first moments were filled with dark. it’s totally different now. we’re all still grieving but underground the 49 names of the dead asked us / for real healing. so we returned to the gay dance floor, leaving candles and flowers for them.”
