The real fantasy here is that the lgbtqia+ community is something other than fractions of a percentage of the population with extremely niche interests. Voltron all you like, but you're still an extremely small percentage of the whole with an extremely overexposed media footprint. I'm glad yall are being celebrated again as my people once celebrated and venerated twinsouls, but we also need to refocus our outrage on the shit that affects all of us, like net neutrality and basic right to live shit. Gender affirming care is wonderful for the people who have ready access to food, water, and shelter. I am more worried about the people who don't have even those basic things. And the number of those people in this country grows every day.
It's not about the percentage of the minority, it's about how that minority is used politically against it's allies and supporters.
Imagine your people being politically valuable instead of being thrown into the worst badlands the government could find and forgotten.
I'm sorry your people are not valuable. That's how insane you are sounding.
