This is a question primarily for the queer comrades but of course any of yall can comment.
Recently I saw some criticism of the symbol's use because so few of those who wear it ever had to actually experience it.
Personally I wear it on my jacket, and have worn it for several years. I don't think I'll remove it, but I was curious about other people's thoughts.
"you shouldn't feel a connection to past radical struggles for liberation because those struggles were successful in improving the world for you"
in general, the species of brainworm which is primarily focused on making sure people don't identify too much with the oppressed is a fuck. spit on anyone who would rob you of the past.
History is merely the explanation of the present. It kinda icks me out when people shit on historic stuff that at the time was revolutionary. We stand on their shoulders and all that.
