st_aurafina*clings to flist* I should be out on Facebook doing the thing (you know the thing? When you're the only gay person they know and therefore must provide context and explanation and, for some reason, reassurance to people who will never have to feel fear about this stuff?)
But really I want to huddle in the safe place with the other queer people and just, IDK, eat cookies and croon or something. Except that for some people, their safe place just got shot to hell.
And I know I'm going to get up in the morning, open the newspaper, read more articles debating whether queer people deserve basic human rights and safety (Should we be allowed to marry? Should we feel safe in schools? I wonder who I'd be if I'd been safe at school.)
Here are some links I found to be helpful:
What Melissa Scott said resonates with me a lot: here.
A good round up of facts, with no photos of the shooter: Information about this horrific shooting
From SBS: Here's what Australians can do to help victims of the Orlando massacre
*hugs my people*
