It just sticks in my craw that 'phobes who want my queer ass to not exist will cheerfully use folx' cultural markers to be trendy and then turn right around and discriminate against us while wearing pieces of queer culture. It's irritating as shit, and I don't know what to do about it, which irritates me even more. Ugh.
I've been trying to figure out what to do about bigots doing this with Black culture and Jamaican culture, not least since I suspect some of the answers may be more broadly applicable. If I figure anything out I'll let you knwo. Also/most importantly, commiserations.
