Today marks the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. 54 years ago, members of the LGBTQ+ protested for our right to be seen, heard, and protected. It was a moment in time that forever transformed the gay liberation movement.

@georgetakei I deal with a lot of very young queers in work with Pride, and a lot of them have no concept of the world I grew up in, when my choices were "closeted" or "victim". They have the privilege of standing on the graves of a lot of people we've lost, to violence, to disease, to indifference, and that's fine, making a better world for the next generations was the point of surviving, but it would be nice if they didn't act like it was always as comparatively nice as it is now (and frankly it's not that nice now, shit still sucks, it just used to be a lot worse and they don't seem to know that).
@mos_8502 @georgetakei I always remember what was done to the brilliant Alan Turing, in Britain. So sad.
