Prism & Pen Shouts from Rooftops: LGBTQ People Not Going Back!

Well! It’s been a busy week at Prism & Pen, so busy I didn’t write a story for World AIDS Day on December 1. But Danny Stewart has us covered with moving memories of his years with a celebrated…

There’s nothing there for me
I’ve explored and found it lacking
The constant peace of mind
And the occasional euphoria
That evaded me in the past

I’m not going back...

LGBTQ+ People Are Not Going Back

Last week, I proposed a mass action for today (Tuesday, December 3, 2024), in which LGBTQ+ people and allies who have platforms of any kind would publish individual creations (writings, videos, podcasts, social media posts, etc.) with the shared title “LGBTQ+ People Are Not Going Back.” While each of our creations would be in our own voices—as no single individual speaks on behalf of our entire community—we would all encourage our audiences to contact their representatives to let them know that we will not tolerate any more backsliding on LGBTQ+ rights!

I support @juliaserano in the fight to maintain #LGBTQ rights - tell your politicians: we will not go back. Hold our government accountable for their actions. Make them remember they are OUR representatives. They work for us - let's get what we pay for.

This photo by the iconic photographer Leonard Fink was taken in May the year that I was born, 1970. When I think of the pain, heartbreak and death that awaited many of these men in the 1980s, I think of what a failure our government, our country became in the face of AIDS all because of the bigotry of homophobia, transphobia. We cannot go back even a few years. Allies speak up.

No one is going to drag us back to pseudo-moral uniformity, frightened silence, stigmatizing hate and cultural monotony.
