I️ might get hate for this, but honestly, I️ get a little sick of the LGBTQ+ “community” sometimes.  Someone please tell me why cis gays and lesbians are allowed to be aphobic, biphobic, transphobic, etc. but the communities being affected by their prejudice are not allowed to call them out on it.   

I️ was 12 years old when I️ came out as bi.  At first, online communities made me feel better.  They showed me that there were a lot of great, happy, and successful queer people.  That was until I️ found so much negativity that made me feel unwelcome in this community.  I️ felt like I️ didn’t belong with the majority and that I️ didn’t belong with this minority either.  So, in the end, do you know who I️ had?  No one.  I️ was in middle school.  I️ was insecure and scared and I️ had to feel alone and hated too.  

So, honestly?  Screw your hate, your exclusion, your prejudice, your division, your discourse, whatever you wanna call it.  It affects real lives and real people. It is not just discourse.  No ones identity or right to exist is just discourse.  Inclusion is vital to so many people, so maybe the LGBTQ+ community should start acting more like one rather than being a hierarchy dominated by white gays and lesbians.
