    Did the murdering officer know that the woman was queer? George Floyd’s skin color was rather obvious to anyone close enough.

      Does she need to wear a fucking pink triangle on her sleeve for you people to stop trying to erase her identity?

        What people are you talking about?

        erase her identity

        In what way? And how does that at all relate to this?

          People like you, everyone coming here to complain in the comments that the headline described her as queer.

          What you’re doing is advocating for erasure. Don’t play dumb.

            What erasure? Wtf are you talking about.

            Her being queer has nothing to do with the murder as far as I know. Media is purposely adding this to fire some unneeded discussion. You should he outraged that they need to mention this instead of falling for the obvious bait.

              So the news site “LGBTQ Nation” was supposed to ignore the fact that the woman murdered happened to be queer?

              And it’s not erasure for you to say her queerness shouldn’t be in the reporting?
