It’s really lovely to hear you say this. What a simple gesture that anyone can make that has a huge impact for those who need it most.
I once saw a sticker on the streets with this passage, which aligns with your sentiment. I made a graphic of it because that’s how my family rolls, and I’d love to think more people every day are doing the same thing.
This only works if, when the yobbo on the bus or the pub bore start attacking queer people, whether physically or verbally, you stand up and tell them to shut the fuck up and sit back down.
If you were it to make people feel safe, then you must be prepared to back that up with actions when the occasion demands.
@CrypticMirror holistically, you are 100% correct. But the point here isn’t to address how to help people who are actively being victimized.
The point of this sentiment is to help people who are looking for a beacon when they need one. So they don’t feel alone or unwanted just walking around, living their lives.
