You want inclusive but please think clever

I fucking hate Bri'ish

Every time I post this for queer Malaysians queerphobes get mad. It's so tiring being queer + Malaysian. This pride month I hope more folks acknowledge the oppression queer folks face in the global south.

Mainly writing this because I'm so tired of the Anglocentric, very western discussions abt pride month (eg. Kink at pride, the validity of labels etc) Most queer Malaysians don't have that same access to these resources, I'm not going to police what a queer msian should be like. We're stronger together, the authorities don't give a shit abt how valid I am or correct my labels are.

I think it's important to highlight the difference in queer issues of identity and liberation. In Malaysia at least, we're still far from getting liberation, much less debating amongst our circles abt valid/invalid labels. We don't have a Pride march, and it's likely our liberation will look very different to the west.
