    The LGBTQ+’s great stumbling block in their stride toward freedom is not the raging homophobe, but the cishet moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with proactively changing the laws”; who parentalistically believes they can set the timetable for another person’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the queers to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

      Wait is this retooled from MLK’s critique of the white moderate or is it from somewhere else?

      so the solution is to make homophobes and homophobic institutions sites of ultraviolence. bloody and terrible and fucking dangerous.

      there's a chic-fil-a in hollywood with about four cops outside it at all times, constantly.
