#queer quote

[makingqueerhistory]

Queer comes to be defined as the not-yet; queer is what is not yet possible, not yet thinkable or legible. In other words, queer is understood in terms of a present of disavowal and a future of possibility.

Ben Davies and Jana Funke

Zhu realized she wanted to keep that fierce empathy in the world. Not because she understood it, but because she didn't, and for that reason it seemed precious. Something worth protecting.

Shelley Parker-Chan, She Who Became the Sun.

“I try to tighten my heart into a knot, a snarl, I try to learn to live dead, just numb, but then I see someone I want, and it's like a nail, like a hot spike right through my chest, and I know I'm losing.”

“It was something adults said all the time. “You'll change your mind when you're older. You never know what might happen. You'll feel differently one day.” As if we teenagers knew so little about ourselves that we could wake up one day a completely different person. As if the person we are right now doesn't matter at all.”

- Loveless, Alice Oseman (2020)

Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.

It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.

The story of San Domino remains a tremendous one. The establishment and destruction of this community took a single year, but it represents something much larger: the resilience of the queer community and the subversion of the hatred that would strike them down. Persecuted by their own country, these queer people found a home in each other. They found safety and joy in people rather than physical spaces. Through all the adversity and horrific injustice levelled at the queer community, the queer community finds strength in solidarity. Generations of queer people have done it before, and the record of such stories will continue to inspire the community in this modern era. This moment of togetherness is a tradition that defines the queer community. That is the message we want to impart unto our readers as we continue; however dark the stories we share become, know that we have always built homes from prisons. Nothing has broken us yet, and nothing will.

Why can't you make it easier for me to hate you?

You didn't come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.
