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"?

basically on Workers Day remember that working class ppl are more constrained in how they can behave and express themselves. Better pay and labor conditions enables people to also be themselves more and have the energy for personal expression and be healthier and happier and that isn't necessarily going to look like fitting into your clique but right now if you aren't earning much you can't fit if you wanted to
