Stay tuned for my entry on my election night fight with the no on 8 organizer who had sense enough not to blame poc in front of me, but who did blame just about everyone else, including "breeders" and people who didn't have the time to volunteer or donate cash to the campaign (because volunteering is not a privilege and everyone has surplus time/money on their hands).

When did queer black people become invisible? I was initially going to school him with some Combahee River statement excerpts to demonstrate that there is actually a long history of intersectional analysis of oppression among my people, but I didn't think he would read it anyway. Also, white people need to start doing their own homework before they start playinb the blame game. I actually almost got pulled into a comment thread where some liberal white person tried to say Black people don't know about James Baldwin or Bayard Rustin and white people need to support us (black queer folks) in fighting homophobia in the Black community. Did I miss the part where white people stopped being homophobic?! Are Black people now the last people in America who have homophobes among their ranks?
