i feel gross bc i can tell how much this shooting isn’t even affecting the straight people around me. the straight people that support me. they read about it and then close out and go on with their day bc they are hardly attached emotionally. lgbt+ people are going to be thinking about this for the rest of the day, for the rest of pride month. we’ll remember it next year, during next pride month, about the horrible act that was targeted at us because people hate us. out of all of the people around me i’m the only one mourning. the rest, straight people, are moving on and already forgetting about it because it doesn’t effect them. being apart of the community can feel amazing and welcoming, but also terrifying and incredibly lonely.
