OUR HISTORY WILL NOT BE WHITE/CIS-WASHED.

History classes throughout our nation have built a reputation of instructing young generations that white, straight, cis folks are the saviors and founders of this land. Wrong. 

We were taught that light-skinned people are the goal; the goal to assimilate to. Wrong. 

We were also rarely taught about queer history, but when we were, it probably revolved around white cis gay men. Wrong.

This film is no different that the history classes that are serving a disservice to every potential viewer. From the previews alone, queer folks have gathered that the centralized character is a white cis gay man. (WHY?) 

From the previews alone, queer folks have gathered that not many people of color are even in the film. (WHY?) 

To make this short, we have also gathered that white folks are being credited in throwing the brick, starting the riots, starting the “gay liberation front” and also capturing the heart of a light-skinned transwomyn. (Of course we all fall in love with the white saviors. WRONG.)
