I know, I'm quoting myself again. But I especially thought about this A LOT while Obergefell v Hodges was at SCOTUS, because some younger LGBTQ people were saying we shouldn't bother with marriage equality, it was just respectability politics.https://twitter.com/NeolithicSheep/status/1364007248046006272 …

But I do remember this, and I still feel it: a complete disconnect from a wider community because it felt like we were scattered. I was getting into screaming matches with homophobic kids at high school over marriage equality...in 2007.

So it makes me goddamn pissed off they are saying this is respectability politics. That is the same attitude about gatekeeping what it means to be a queer person. Just two months ago a big acct on here tore into me with screenshots with all this biphobic shit.
