Because violence begets violence. Just as the election this year passed peacefully, so to should we demonstrate that hate is not our m.o. oddly enough think of it like how jesus taught forgiveness and love, not revenge and hate. Ironic how some christians forget that basic message today.
Also, Jesus was also famous for his acts of anger, up to and including flipping tables. A lot of his personal policies described in the Bible run counter to the common image invoked of him being a hippy saint.
And yet when he was murdered, what happened? The whole story of jesus is that he was human, he did the wrong things sometimes as he felt emotion just like us. In the end its about peace and forgiveness.
We can only do so much. Itβs up to us whether we fight back or fight forward.
The main reason for using a hyena was because during the presidential campaign people used images of hyenas to portray kamala as a way to be demeaning, but it ended up being empowering instead and I thought that rebellious nature would fit!

Dandelions are my favourite flower because they represent for me resilience and beauty against all odds π If you look out for them you'll find them everywhere. No matter how much you try to fight them, they will always come back and they strive in the craziest environments π
Just a reminder the original Pride was a RIOT not a peaceful protest. Got to fight for our continual right to exist. Build that community! If you know friends it questionable places and have the space offer asylum if you can! Look out for eachother community is important build it.
#alt4you Alt text: a cartoony drawing of a brown spotted hyena running with the Progress Pride Flag in its mouth. Text below it says "Existence is Resistance. Live out of spite if nothing else."
Your confidence is their insecurity. Your strong will is their weakness. Live with no fear, and they will recoil. Love with no limits, and they will shatter.
imo, being LGBT shouldn't be part of a political identity just a fact of life. Anyone who tries to pick at somebody for being LGBT is evidently very silly and shouldn't really be taken seriously, and in the event that they try to make any point against LGBT rights, should be destroyed with words.
I just wanted to say I'm so happy this resonates with so many people. <3
They don't want us to keep living. Therefore, we absolutely must.
Make these next four years hell for anyone who tells you that you are not valid.
We're all tired, but keep fighting for the chance to see tomorrow. π
I also just want to point out the difference between posting this here VS twitter...
Here of course there's a few bad apples winging, but mostly support.
On twitter, I'm being attacked by multiple people calling me slurs and insults of all sorts.
(1/2) "In that story of yours - the fisherman watching the stars, dying alone. You thought he gave up, right? But he went on living. He lost everyone, but he still got up every morning. He made a life even he was alone. The choices you get are to lie down and die or keep going."
