I personally just can't WAIT for some 20 year-old to start lecturing me about how proud transwoman Marsha P. Johnson threw the first brick at Stonewall and started the whole LGBTQIA+++ movement. /s

I marched in my first Gay Pride Parade in 1990, back when it was still grassroots and genuinely political, since we were in the middle of the AIDS Crisis. We had religious protesters lined up condemning us. Sodomy was illegal. LGB soldiers were being witch-hunted out of the military. Same-sex marriage was like science fiction.

So, basically, my generation snow-plowed ALL this shit out of the way, so some little purple-haired fuckwit can call me a horrible cis-male oppressor. Cry me a river, sweetheart.

This is probably the best summary of the actual LGBT issues :)

It really is. They have absolutely no clue.

That's a great visual. I wish I could draw, so I could draw that.
