My non-binary femme friend tried unsuccessfully to run a shop of queer eco-empowerment in Hillcrest, but had too many run-ins with the feral homeless and their aggressively litigious advocates. Even giving them the bum’s rush didn’t emancipate they/m from their grip.
Do you have any advice for saving queer spaces for lesbians, particularly BIPOC ladies of size, to thrive in such an oppressive zone of heteronormativity and male chauvinism that exudes hateful misogyny masquerading as victims of poverty?

Ahhh baby boy. What wonderful words and what an honor to be listed with all those fab women. Thank you.
And to keep women in the know, there will be a Women’s Pride Dance Thursday July 18th at The Rail. The Monthly Women’s dance resumes third Friday in August at The Rail. Starts with Happy Hour at 5 pm.
I adore you, always.

Such zionist propaganda bull.
Queer Palestinians in Gaza cannot be queer if you kill them all!
Maybe start there if you are worried about queer rights in Palestine.

This is the most Islamophobic, anti-Arab post I’ve seen. Take your disgusting dehumanization and misinformation elsewhere. Pinkwashing no longer works, we’ve seen the truth.
