Extremely visceral, reactive, and political, always in conversation with the pain and suffering of himself, his community, and other disenfranchised folks in America.⠀ ⠀ As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I share an inherited sense of dis-ease. Regardless of how many legal rights I have been granted from past generations fighting for them, there is still so much hatred and disgust towards non-binary people and members of my community at large. While that remains true, I must also recognize that as a cis-passing white person, I am not at risk in the same ways Trans and BIPOC, or trans-BIPOC, people are. I am significantly less hated on a mass level in America. Less in danger. My house is not burning down in the same way theirs is.⠀⠀ I live in a country that is and always has been on fire. Today this is remarkably clear, as we are in the midst of a much needed mass revolution. Or, for some, a revelation, a realization that actions must be taken to make reparations to Black people that have, since being forced to come to America as slaves 400 years ago, been the most marginalized and despised people in this country. Whose house has been on fire, yet neglected, for centuries.⠀ ⠀ ‘The Burning House’ is necessary to revisit now. When I think of David, the first image my mind conjures up is a portrait of him. His eyes piercing into my soul, his mouth nearly sewn shut. The message: silence = death. We have a responsibility to protest by using our bodies, our voices, and our art. Especially white people. White silence = death. And when I think of inheritance, both in the pain and suffering of LGBTQ+ people, I am reminded that as a child of the early-90s (specifically 1992, the year in which DW died of AIDS) I am part of a generation who both inherited that suffering and a clear responsibility to fight against injustice. We must continue that fight.”」6月24日 0時58分
