But even some progressive gay white men say they feel alienated from a movement they see becoming more radical, particularly online, where the tenor of conversation is often uncivil.

Hot take: I'm honestly, vocally sick of settler-gay men who demand that you handle them with kid gloves when their entire existence within the community is an existence blanketed in microaggression at best, when they're not being outright full-on macroaggressive about someone that 'doesn't fit their "preference"'; and I'm genuinely glad people are starting to talk about it.

    Monarchist reaction to revolutionaries of 18th century France who represent a change in material conditions.

    The primary point of the response, I think, was to refocus reactionary away from "the past" and towards material conditions.

    In the case of this thread it has to do with white people reacting to their place being questioned. White queers benefit from increased representation, increased safety, even if it doesn't feel that way to us, and generally being the biggest ethnic group in queer spaces. And other stuff too.
