Sadly, it’s necessary. Lots of people are coming after the LGBTQ+ community. If someone ever tries to kill/hurt someone in the community, the community must be prepared.
I’ve always been a big fan of the LP’s porcupine. Sends a very clear message of “Don’t fucking touch me”. They even had some rad as fuck rainbow porcupine shirts back before they gave up pretending they were just a shelter for embarrassed Republicans. I’d love to see it get taken from them, and I think it works because I think most folks associate the no step snek with the libertarians far more than the porcupine.
They might not know. But it might be too late to convince them otherwise, specially when they already in the attack. Unfortunately, we can’t fix everyone’s idea on the LGBTQ+ community.
Just one more thing. Just because OP is training to use a gun, and others practice other ways of self defense, it doesn’t mean they want to use violence. But it’s better to learn to do something, than to not know how to do it when you need to the most.
It would be great if everyone were friends and got a long. But there are a lot of people who want other people dead just for not conforming to their very specific idea of correctness. And those other people need defending.
Well, it won’t. What COULD fix everything is Mutual Aid. People helping people. You can start building the world that you want to see right now, and right here, inside of the shell of the old world. Once people have their basic needs met, a sort of chain reaction take a place. People become aware that they can have it better. Then they realize who is standing in their way. Everything after that is up in the air.

Armed minorities are harder to opress
I wonder what the equivalent of the Black Panthers would be for the community?
