Who can’t love this guy?

also the story of heteronormative assimilation, whoops

^^^ Assimilation makes me grumpy.

yeaaaaaah uh i did not read it that way at all

I’m about to be real grumpy.

The same people who say shit like  the above (not DTWPS) are some of the same people who piss and moan about how homophobic Black folks are.

And here’s a Black man, the president of the US speaking about the multiplicity of acceptance of gay folks, and y’all just have to nitpick?

Look, I get it, I’m as skeptical of homonormativity and everything as anyone else. Shit, I’m even more so, because I am Black and Trans* and there is no way for me to even begin to be represented by the HRC and their like. But, that said, I say come the fuck on. Have your ish about homonormativity, but acknowledge this is a big fucking deal, to have a man who has admitted he is making his own journey to acceptance come out and say that it’s important actually be accepting. Not tolerating, but accepting.

The founder of the gulabis is the fearless Sampat Pal Devi, 40, who was married off at the age of 12 to an ice-cream vendor and had the first of her five children at 15. The gulabis, whose members say they are a “gang for justice,” started in 2006 as a sisterhood of sorts that looked out for victims of domestic abuse, a problem the United Nations estimates affects two in three married Indian women. Named after their hot-pink sari uniforms, the gang paid visits to abusive husbands and demanded they stop the beatings. When obstinate men refused to listen, the gulabis would return with large bamboo sticks called laathis and “persuade” them to change their ways. “When I go around with a stick, it’s to make men fear me. I don’t always use it, but it helps change the mind of men who think they are more powerful than me” says Pal. She has assumed the rank of commander in chief and has appointed district commanders across seven districts in Bundelkhand to help coordinate the gang’s efforts.

Pal’s group now has more than 20,000 members, and the number is growing.

As an American, I know I have no right to ever comment on another’s culture.

But as a human being, this is one of the most bad ass things I’ve seen and read.

Revolution.

I will always reblog this.
