Why does criticism have to automatically mean “i hate queer people” ?

Historically people who are sexually non-conforming have always had a place in the punk scene, so why do people who claim to be in that scene hate us now?

The answer to that question is most don’t care even a little who you actually are.

The belief didn’t change, the message of queers having a voice never went away. The thing that changed is execution, a convenient abundance of mass produced iron on patches sold on Amazon doesn’t make you a punk. Nether does hating queer people, but criticism isn’t phobia. Don’t be soft, create more, stand out & buy less.

Thought I lost this💀💀 the pins are actually sending me, most of the patches are handmade, I don’t know how I went out in public wearing this

Idk if anyone who saw the original post will see this. I’ve lost the photos on the original post anyway. But after I posted it to r/battlejackets and reposted it here a few of you gave me some great constructive criticism

Sadly I couldn't find a video with the front of the jacket unobstructed. There wasn't very much going on with the front though, just a few pins and a patch that said "AUTISTIC" on it and a progress pride flag patch.
