im expecting a lot of "pride month is over, now it's time for wrath month" posts. that's cool and all. but july is disability pride month.

pride month is when you're SUPPOSED to be angry. it's a celebration AND a riot. that was the best time to get angry. second best time is now. but it's not wrath month. let disabled people have this.

please get angry with us. please fight with us! we are both losing our rights, if we ever even had them to begin with. please don't talk over us, especially during our own pride month.

did you know over 10,000 people die a year while waiting to be told whether or not they can receive disability benefits?

did you know while being provided disability benefits, disabled people cannot have more than $2,000 total in their bank account? the average rent for an apartment in the united states, as of last month, is $1,995. per month.

while they want to kill queer people, they want to kill disabled people just as bad. please look out for your disabled friends and family. please look out for those of us who don't have friends and family. those of us who are out on the streets.

“THE BIG CHILL: HOW HETEROSEXUALS ARE COPING WITH AIDS,” Time (@time), February 16, 1987.
.
In its issue dated February 16, 1987, thirty years ago today, Time magazine reported on the increased understanding of the AIDS epidemic’s reach. “At first,” the piece explained, “AIDS seemed an affliction of drug addicts and especially of homosexuals, a ‘gay disease.’ No longer. The numbers as yet are small, but AIDS is a growing threat to the heterosexual population. Straight men and women in some cases do not believe it, in some cases do not want to believe it. But barring the development of a vaccine, swingers of all persuasions may sooner or later be faced with the reality of a new era of sexual caution and restraint.”
.
“It’s very hard for straight people to understand what the hell this is,” Harvey Fierstein (@theharveyfierstein) said. “The ugliness of the disease is that every stranger has it; everyone you like doesn’t have it.”
.
While Time’s article is notable in a number of respects, it is perhaps most interesting in that it provides an early example of the biphobic narrative that accompanied the AIDS crisis.
.
“Active bisexuals,” the piece explained, “are one route of viral transmission to the female population…Dooley Worth, a leader of a Manhattan discussion group for women exposed to AIDS, says men do not like to admit their bisexuality: ‘If a relationship is really rotten,’ she advises the group, ‘change the assumption that there is another woman. It may be a man.’”
.
“The problem of bisexuality,” Time continued, “is especially poignant in the world of the arts and entertainment…Virtually every arts institution has suffered its losses, and the community is on guard. ‘Anyone who’s dating in the fashion community worries,’ says a lingerie with the Ford agency. ‘You just don’t know.’”
.
This type of coverage of the “bisexual problem” contributed to a broad cultural awareness of bisexuality that had not existed before; plainly, however, the increased awareness came with a negative association. In response to this growing biphobia, bi-identity activists emerged in greater numbers and with greater strength than ever before. #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory

fun fact of the day: anyone who tells you that "femme" and "butch" can only be used by lesbians took the terf pills- white cis lesbian separationists (terfs) are the ones behind the idea that only lesbians can use butch and femme when many lesbians of color have their own terms for masc and fem lesbians. this is also an effort to erase the history the terms butch and femme have had in including trans and gnc people, drag performers, bears, masc and fem gays into their preferred gender expression and community spaces. it's a historically inaccurate argument. have a good day!

you could be kicked in the nuts and spat on by every single trans person you’ve ever met and it still wouldn’t be a justifiable reason to be anti-trans. like just so we’re clear
