I've been planning to make this comic for so long now, but a strange feeling of shame has stopped me, year after year.
Today is IDAHOBIT, the international day against LGBTQ+ discrimination. I feel like now is a good time to share it.
It's easy to slip into shameful silence because of survivors guilt, because "it wasn't that bad". But it was bad. Homo- and transphobic violence is bad and needs to be talked about, especially in a time where homo- and transphobic rhetoric is rampant and normalizes seeing us as lesser humans, normalizes hurting us, verbally, legally, physically.
When the anti "LGBT propaganda" law passed in Russia, all of you were going insane and cared. Give Georgia the same energy. If you can have sympathy for our oppressors on the basis of them being queer, you should keep the same energy for us, if not more.
If this law passes, every Georgian queer person I know is so severely fucked, myself included. If you make jokes about "being illegal in several countries" you better fucking care about the countries you're apparently illegal in, or going to be illegal in.
Make sure to spread this around. This is important.
