Honestly, just existing is a part of the fight. If people know a queer person personally and see that they’re human too just like them then they’re a lot less likely to dehumanize them and are more likely to help protect and fight for them.

Everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. And then you think, you left a mark on the world if you just get through it and a few people remember your name.

That’s cool. Most Americans won’t though.
Americans need to stay and deal with the mess they created. Last thing we need is you guys making our housing crisis worse

That’s what they said they’re doing though

Keep Americans out to keep the collective IQ high
