As much as these public outbursts of white liberal racism in the wake of the recent US election are disgusting, I don't like better the recent Proposition 8 related shift to "Oh, it was just a right-wing misinformation campaign to sow division among their enemies; black people didn't really steal our rights after all."

Assuming for the moment the trumpeting of that falsehood were such an attempt, it wouldn't have worked if the queer rights movement were not thoroughly white and soaked in racism. If there had been more outreach all along, dialogue and inclusion with people of colour so it was allowed to be a movement of all queer persons and part of everyone's communities rather than by and for the white ones, who would have believed such a thing?

Blaming this recent exposure on conservative trickery is just another way to avoid dealing with it.

I'm going to try and do these in a more relevant way
