this pride I'd like to see less nationbuilding of community and more the realization that it's a coalition and you can't flatten it.
I've been on about this before so I won't bore people, but like, seeing especially the NGOs moving to homogenize us the last four or so years is very interesting because it's basically for marketing reasons, and I think a lot about how especially newer-to-the-movement people haven't realized that while trying to make their activism like, trying to Build A National Identity That Flattens Many Disparate Cultures But For Queer Things.
Embrace your hyper local queer communities.
Like actually go give hugs to your local queers if they're okay with that. Do ask first unless you know them really well.
