WHY IS BRINGING UP LGBTQ IN THE #EndSARS MOVEMENT AND NARRATIVE INSENSITIVE IN MY OPINION? My clarification.

1. The movement was already going to stop Police brutality for ALL people. LGBTQ inclusive.
2. It’d give the government more talking points against the movement
The #EndSARS movement comprises of many voices- Christians, Muslims, Revolution now, IPOB, LGBTQ, all with a common goal which is to #EndSARS

Our strength is in our numbers
No matter how noble the LGBT cause is in your eyes, if it can derail the momentum, keep it aside.
When you bring LGBTQ into this, many will back off. Whether you think they’d be wrong to do so is besides the point. Fact however is, the #EndSARS movement will suffer a great distraction.
I took my time to clarify my position because people were running off with a “homophobia” narrative. That’s dishonest.
All I’m saying is, for now, no matter who you are, FOCUS and let’s #EndSARS
