This! Pride, and LGBT+ orgs, events and spaces, do not owe itself to political neutrality! They owe the community to make a space safe for all, safe from bigotry, safe for the most vulnerable in our community https://twitter.com/bradleybirkholz/status/1260569665354502156

More than anything, I need LGBT+ individuals, event organisers, spaces, media and press to be more hardline on this. By not taking a political stance, you’re showing your privilege. Our very existence IS political!

As much as we want to just exist in peace, we cannot. Our lives, our bodies, our communities are constantly at the whims of those who hold power. TAKE. A. STANCE!
