    jesus what in the pancakes waffles is this? You assumed a lot of things in that last line (and no I don’t think that)

    I never said they should not use that word I just explained how the media (most of it on US is MAGA related) will use her queerness as a weapon

      Sorry for the misfire if you’re not actually against it. I have been seeing shitheads advocate against mentioning that she’s queer for that exact reason all day, and I’m really tired of it.

        No problem I get it, as a gay man it would make me mad if they erased my queerness, but at this point we need to understand how the media manipulates all this to serve a narrative to the average US citizen (and you know who they voted for)

        For us, yeah it is maddening to think queerness could dehumanize someone, for them it is just another minority to hate
