As a black person, it is so difficult to maintain a positive outlook on life and even more, your future, when your ability to exist peacefully in this country [on this earth] is threatened daily.

It does seem pointless to wake up in the morning and go about our daily lives as if we can’t be murdered, hurt or demonized at any point throughout the day. I find comfort in knowing that refusing to be debilitated by this oppression is an act of resistance in itself.

We are not warriors who have to be [physically] fighting for our lives everyday. What kind of life is that? What life are we fighting for at that point? Resistance is not only locking arms and chanting in the face of white supremacists and police; it is also maintaining the hopes and dreams for our futures, doing what we love, following our daily routines and living.

@holyish thanks for clarifying that for them. People don't understand it's important to note that these are explicitly black/Latinx creations within the realm of the gay lifestyle, which is very much not excluded from rampant racism. Failing to acknowledge proliferates cultural appropriation and erasure.
