Aggression in Hillcrest
[Ref: “San Diego Police investigating drive-by shooting in Hillcrest,” published online at bit.ly/3RcYc76]
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?

Retorts to the Trans Talk

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.

Justice at long last

Condolences to Larry Joe’s family. His father Joe Breen was married to my Aunt. Keeping all of Larry Joe’s family in my thoughts and prayers … may he rest easy now and may he be reunited with his family in eternal life … Shelly (Connard) Oharro.–Rachell Oharro, via lgbtqsd.news
