@mala more seriously, there's actually a really interesting difference in conception around parenthood and family between people who were raised with those things as major bastions against oppressive structures (most racial minorities in america) vs those for whom their family is a major vector for their marginalization (most queer people).
I would be fascinated to read an anthropological study that contrasted the two, although you don't have to be a genius to see the way it's shaped communities+priorities
@nightpool @mala you can't ever fully contrast queer people and racial minorities because… that tends to leave out all the queer racial minorities. but on the flipside i don't think it's hard to see how the combination of these two factors can leave our queer youth of color especially vulnerable.
@kibi @mala oh yeah by "the two" here I mean "the two methods of support", not POC vs. queer people or anything like that. obviously this picture is doubly compounded for people who intersect these areas.
