(In response to someone asking why people "get upset when the importance of black queer and trans people are mentioned) Because I think it’s a disservice to the history of the LGBT community to credit these individuals for the work being done by thousands of activists since the 19th century. Look at how many people here lay praise at their feet, but how many people know of Magnus hirschfeld https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Hirschfeld History shouldn’t be about supporting those who feel good about today, but all of those have fought, are fighting and died to give us the freedoms we benefit. By no means should ignore these people, or not celebrate them for their actions, but this feels like American whitewashing of our history, of lgbt history. Literally the day before the riots, Canada had decriminalized homosexuality. George klippert spent 3 years in jail to give us the freedom to be ourselves here. Why do you think so many lgbt people were out celebrating that night? We had just won a major fight in our freedom. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Klippert So why are people upset? Because we’re making other heroes invisible. We’re taking from them their history, their accomplishments, their pain and suffering. You answered your own question, the dislike of of excluding these voices is the same dislike people have for excluding others who played roles across the world.
