I found this on facebook and it was posted on a local cis LGB paper/blog. I don’t like them because they are full of FAIL. So I figured I’d post it here to spare y’all from the fail that is that blog/paper.
A young Latina student at a Dallas high school has been blocked from running for homecoming queen because she is trans. (Please be careful when you go to the link, the news story is full of fail and the comments will be too.)
This is unacceptable. Just unacceptable. I hope that the local cis-LGB groups and the Trans groups do a visibility action to support her. They always do stuff about non-local issues, I would hope that they would do something to support her. I mean, the “It get’s better” project is in full force, why would they not, right?
Listen, if you’re Latina, you need to support her, especially if you’re in Dallas. I’m challenging *all* Latinas out there to support a fellow Latina. (But challenge your privilege and get that shit in check before you go and make it harder for her.)
So let’s do it. Let’s lift up one of our own with our support. This is a chance to actually help our youth instead of doing a preachy video where we flaunt our privilege.
I will let you know of any actions happening in Dallas.
