Every time I see this image reposted, I notice the bottom text is missing. Which is a real shame, because it's actually my favorite part.
It's like that one poster that gets reposted a lot, the purple poster with the resistance hand that says "Gay Power" when the original said "Queer Power" but the edited version gets shared around so much more.
So many younger queers who've been indoctrinated with terf rhetoric and don't even realize it like the idea of "Be Gay Do Crime" but only as a performative resistance, preferring to assimilate while wearing punk aesthetic and blue hair die but refusing to actually throw any bricks.
You can wear an anarchist badge and tweet "Be Gay Do Crime" but If you're still calling queer a slur and telling trans people to be less angry and more respectable if we want to be treated like humans, then you're still just another cog in the machine that wants you dead.

Yeah, I've always wanted it tattooed on me somewhere. It's such a powerful turn of words, the comfort of knowing that queer rage is righteous and needed and that our very existence is a power that overrules nature and strives in chaos.
@Saint_Dionysus ngl i would be infinitely sexier with this paragraph as a back tattoo
@SophiaSurname
Yeah!! I wad thinking of getting it as a tramp stamp.
@SophiaSurname @Saint_Dionysus this is profound and impactful but for some reason my brain decided to read it in the voice of the Doom narrator
@Saint_Dionysus "Though we forgo the privilege of naturalness, we are not deterred, for we ally ourselves instead with the chaos and blackness from which Nature itself spills forth. If this is your path, as it is mine, let me offer whatever solace you may find in this monstrous benediction. May you discover the enlivening power of darkness within yourself. May it nourish your rage."
simply rules so hard.
