I just need to say...
Sometimes I am so disappointed in the members of my community. This community (not only online).

We as LGBTQ know what it feels like to be hated. Just because I am a passing femme - god, sometimes I wish I was not. I have and my children have felt the hate from society. We as a community know what it feels like to be treated less than human.

There are still SODOMY Laws in this country.

Have we not learned from our own personal struggles? Each and every one of us, what it feels like to be hated based on who we are? You do not need to be a POC or a different religion to experience hatred. Go inside of yourself and feel it. Just feel what it feels like and maybe, you will get a glimpse of what it feels like for those who experience Racial Profiling. A glimpse really - because what we experience, is a fraction.

This is why I stopped posting on political threads. Why I like to be the bimbo in the other threads. Because I don't have to think. I don't have to feel what it feels like. It feels dirty and it feels like my barest soul is being exposed, yet again to ignorance and the ignorance is coming from MY COMMUNITY.

I am disgusted.
