I'm very torn about this. Obviously you can be hetero and still be queer. How? All the non binary gender identities, gender exspansive, binary trans, gender creative, gender queer, and gender fluid people. Queer incompas gender identities. People with middle sexuality identities can look stereotypically queer, hetero or neither. I personally go between super girly sexy and a teen boy. Those are my two looks. Both look straight and I am so freaking queer. Proud families supporting their queer child/children. Queer parents with their child/children. Friends of queer people. That is a big one becuase if you have a best friend or just a co-conspirators regular friend that you're close with, you want them their to support with you. Lastly, co-conspirators people who are in the trenches with us fighting the good fight. People who are using thier privilege to make sure our voices specifically TPOCs are herd and their message is getting across. They all belong at pride and our other queer spaces.
But if you are not one of those heterosexuals then pride is not for you. Please leave. You can't sit with us. This is not a space to learn. This is our celebration/protest, and does not include you. You literally have all the other spaces. Do not invade ours. You are not entitled to it. You haven't earned it. You don't belong. GTFO! I am tired of seeing the stereotypical white girl at pride with all her friends trying to grope gay boys, take pictures with drag queens, and get so drunk she kisses her friends, no homo though. Just because our space is safer for you becuase the gay guys aren't hitting on you and the people who are into girls know how to respect a no doesn't mean you can come and invade. We don't want you here. You don't give a dam about the movement. You don't support Queers just white gay men usually. You're super transphobic. Pride is a fight for most queer people still. A fight you know nothing about and don't care about. We will send you a memo of how to become a co-conspirators by next year, that way you won't be taking up space becuase you'll know better. But until then I will say it one more time. GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR SPACES!!!
Obviously we can't tell the ones who belong and the ones that don't apart. There was a time in my baby Bi life where I just thought June was a party. I would go, grope gays, kiss girls, and take pictures with drag queens. But I've learned. I still take photos, kiss and touch with consent, and add to my rainbow bracelet collection. But I also go to workshops and fundraisers. I show up to more than just the parties. I go to the teach ins, discussions, workshops, and protest too. That's what pride is really about for me now. I really only go to the parade to bring baby queers, becuase we all start somewhere. But I wish we could issue a public statement to the "others" and tell them not to come so that we could have one thing that is truly ours again.
