Fight for Equality Together - a photo on Flickriver

            I've heard a lot of arguments about how movements should be separate because they might have  different histories, have different goals, or different means of arising at these goals.

But all of those arguments ignore something extremely crucial that I don't want any one of you to miss:  Some people don't have a choice.  For some, the very notion of acceptance of their full existence is in jeopardy.  How can we ask any human to give up a part of themselves or prioritize?  Would we do that?  We are the sum of many identities and all should be celebrated.  

I also strongly believe that working together will accomplish a lot more.  If you support LGBTQ rights, you should also absolutely support Black Lives Matter and vice versa.  The oppression of the masses is controlled by a powerful few.  It is their agenda to get different races and oppressed groups to fight against each other.  

So, if you are saying, for instance: "Well, I support gender equality but I don't support Black Lives Matter" then you're wrong.  Those two statements cannot exist in reality without a terrible combustion.  We all must fight for this movement and put aside our own personal agendas that are poisoning our spirits.  

If you do not stand with the oppressed, you do not stand with humanity.
