Another #PrideMonth reminder. As I mentioned earlier, it's important that we don't use gay as a stand in for the whole queer community represented by pride.
There's another side to that coin though. It's important that we don't use straight to mean "not part of the queer community"
There are straight intersex folks, straight trans folks, queer people in straight passing relationships etc, all of whom see the messaging that others them from their community. Let's aim for inclusion
I can't believe I've started Pride Month off by seeing someone demand that LGBTQ+ people "be respectable" and adhere to "traditional social values".
Fuck that. Be outré. Be avant-garde. Be... some other French word that means "weird". Pride isn't about fitting in and going with the flow. Pride is about being yourself and doing it, well, proudly.

My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
