So don’t give them back to our oppressors by telling other queer folks we can’t use those words for ourselves ❤
[Image description: a six-panel comic.
Panel 1: the text “we took every name you spat on us” and several people cornering someone.
Panel 2: a person curled up in on the floor in a room, while someone in the doorway yells at them.
Panel 3: someone yelling at and grabbing another person.
Panel 4: the text “picked them up” with someone helping someone else get up.
Panel 5: the text “dusted them off” with someone cleaning up their injuries”
Panel 6: the text “and made them our own” with four people: one wearing a shirt saying “pussy”, one wearing a rainbow tank top, one wearing a shirt labeled “queer”, and one wearing a jacket with a rainbow and the word “dyke”. It is the only panel in color.
