In regards to uh, a Recent Boost, by Trev, about people not "looking the part"

it's so important to stand up against that. "Looking the part" is often an expensive process. "It costs a lot to look this poor" etc. Who "looks the part"? People in my local community have complained about being pushed out of white lgbt spaces for appearing to be "just another working-class puerto rican" which somehow precludes being a Real Queer. What fashions are tied to what cultures? Who gets to "appear gay"?

So yeah. Being lgbt is about who you are and not your cliqueish subculture
@shel being lgbt is just being
@shel except it's also like... "an act of rebellion" because cishet hellworld but like. It's only not "just being" because of them
