#but for now i’m glad to be alive and to have the small bangladeshi queer community as a part of me

pride is still a privilege for most of the world especially non white communities

#idk if i worded this right #but fuck it’s bleak sometimes #coming back home and actually being worried about being outed #or getting caught with someone #like obviously i think i have the means of getting out safely #but i know that’s not the case for a majority of the queer community who are here #like it is such a privilege in the west #and white people don’t even recognize it #like making jokes about homicide (homocide) like yes you are so funny #like i cannot think about pride in bangladesh without thinking about xulhaz #this man was murdered horrifically in his own apartment #we lived in the same neighborhood #and i cannot explain how it felt as a young queer person to read about it #and have to listen to peoples opinions about it #all because this man chose to come out publicly #i hope someday i can come home and bring a person i love and love them publicly #but for now i’m glad to be alive and to have the small bangladeshi queer community as a part of me
