community self defence is the only way we can protect one another when the fascists come for queer comrades. the state will not protect you, the liberals will not protect you, on you and those around you can
It can be overwhelming to think that it's solely on LGBT+ folks to organize self-defense. There is quite a large historical precedent for black Americans to be at the forefront in defending communities as well. There are a lot of comrades out there.
