Queer Resistance Means Unity.
The Unified Resistance of ‘Queer Global Queer’
We must cultivate curiosity and explore the diverse narratives of the LGBTQ+ landscape.
I have recently joined an organisation known as Queer Global Queer, which aims to amplify the voices of the global majority within the LGBTQ+ community. Queer Global stated objectives is to allow marginal voices spaces to express themselves. Through this they can create a community.
I could have stayed glued to my computer monitor, reading news about the erosion of Trans rights in the United States and the United Kingdom. However, I felt it was more constructive to engage in face-to-face interactions.
Unfortunately, the unity we aspire to is unlikely to be found within the commercialised gay scene, which often dehumanises individuals. The scene treats individuals as commodities for monetary exchange.
We must cultivate curiosity about one another and explore the diverse narratives of the LGBTQ+ landscape. We must also confront the uncomfortable reality that the LGBTQ+ community frequently mirrors the predominant prejudices found in broader society. The struggle of one is the struggle of all.
