As we see with the Superphobia of the SERFs, Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit have all shown themselves to be incredibly hostile to a movement of people who have no representation. The LGBTQ is a failure and we have left adrift with no one voicing our concerns./1

If People feel disenfranchised from the current organizations then we must make new ones. We must be organized to push back against the wave of hate against who we are. We have heard countless stories of lesbians and gays who are telling stories that are similar to the 90s. /2

So many are afraid to be silenced and so many fear that this issue will cost them their livelihood. How long can we bow our heads and live on our knees? Our voices are being taken from us as our spaces become increasingly privatized and yet we continue on all the same. /3

What use will Freedom of Speech be when even speech is forced back into our homes. Is this the promise of the free world? Where rights are nothing more than meaningless words on paper because privatized spaces ensured their demise? /4

So at this moment, we have a chance. A chance to mobilize and a chance to make our voices heard. We must stick together, not as allies, but as a family. When the /r Superstraight reddit was up it was a fantastic resource where people came to tell their stories. /5

We read of lesbians and gay men being bullied by the LGBTQ community that pretends to care for them. They told us how they faced campaigns of harassment, death threats, and the threat of unemployment. Instead of a welcoming family they were met with isolation. /6

This nonsense can no longer stand. We can no longer allow our brothers and sisters to be harassed, shamed, humiliated, and terrorized by the insane SERFs who scream their bigotry in the name of Inclusion. /7

We must unite as one family. A Superfamily, devoted to doing what we should have done for our sisters and brothers in the 80s and 90s. We, who call ourselves Superstraights, must stand up for lesbians and gay men. To stand up for women in the most anti-woman era of my life. /8

We lived in fear of the Right and believed its ties to the Fundamentalists would be the doom of us all, and ignored the leviathan that slumbered in the academia. More than ever, We need to stand. Please, my brothers and sister, please stand and hold your heads up high. /9

In our struggle and in our defiance will we learn what it is to truly be who we are. To live without the stigma of abuse from those who see us as nothing but props for their sexual desires. Get off your knees and RISE, for you have nothing left to lose.
