Sometimes I find that there are no words to respond to the most important stories, and I suspect others feel the same. Hence the value or your post isn’t reflected in the comments.

But this is some crazy shit and from back in June no less? The institutional capture is so widespread. Are there any major institutions still standing? I would like to hear the stories from within each institution.

I’ve noticed for a lot of former gay rights orgs, the takeovers were effectuated by painting the old-guard leaders and activists as racist and manufacturing myths like Marsha P. Johnson the forgotten trans woman of color who every org was painted to have forsaken and turned their backs on. Trans was framed as being about gender identify the whole time. Malcolm Michaels was no longer a gay activist for same sex rights but an ally who sacrificed for a cause not his own out of the goodness his heart. The absence of actual relevant history was used as evidence that the real stories had been suppressed, and converted into further calls to action.
