Chasten Buttigieg Has Some Questions For The Straight Pride Parade Arseholes*
Link to tweet
Questions you may want to ask yourself before organizing an identity based parade:
Is it/ was it ever legal for me to be jailed for my identity?
Can I be denied housing/health services because of how I identity?
Is it legal to kill me in other countries for how I identify?
Could I legally be put in therapy by my parents for how I identify?
Have others who share my identity been murdered and harassed simply for their identity?
Is it or has it ever been illegal for me to exist?
Could I be kicked out of the military for how I identify?
Is it/ has it ever been illegal for me to marry others of the same identity?
Just to start.
