Small reminder that racism has no place in queer space.
Unfortunally we live in a world where racist ideas are very much ingrained.

And being queer means questioning yourself and your actions.
Queer means growing every day.
Queer means being a better person than you were before.
Even the best of us have been unknowingly become infused with ideas and notions that are racist when you look closer.

So if you catch yourself and realise “Damn, that is not really okay”, then I congratulate you.
Do not be ashamed when you realise something that seems normal in the space you live in, has turned out to be racist.

You can feel ashamed at first, and sad, but you also can be proud of yourself to have realised it, and work hard on eleminating those things from your words and thinking.
