“Liberal LGBT group calls the cops on radical queer group protesting at their event. Trans people of color get exposed to police brutality as a result”

Is not rare at all. It happens constantly.

Whenever queer activists choose to stand up to an LGBT group that is doing fucked up things, this is something they anticipate.

It’s part of why some of us are a bit defensive and on edge when we’re debating about things like cops and companies at pride parades.

We remember all the times a liberal person claiming to be on our side was one phone-call away from putting our lives at risk.
