Queer Competition
June 30th, 2008 maggie
I haven’t been to the Boston Dyke March in a few years since I work on Friday nights, but this morning I enjoyed looking at MassResistance’s report. MassResistance is our super looney right wing anti-lgbtq organization and they love to go to queer events, take pictures, and then pretend to be shocked and appalled. I was looking at pictures, laughing at their offensive commentary, when I saw this.
Okay, the dyke march is all about clever, snarky signs. But that is just not cool. You can’t see the person holding the sign in this picture, so we can’t guess anything about hir or why ze might think such a sign is clever and cool. For a lot of us, Pride breeds insecurity about how we are seen and our place in the community. Why someone would think this is a good idea is beyond me.
