“planning on living as obnoxiously and proudly as possible.”
go for it, my concern is that you won’t achieve what you want this way.
“I want queer people to be an issue no one can ignore,”
I think this is another goal you’ve already achieved, queer people in general are an issue nobody is ignoring already.
on the good side, the prevalence of queer culture is higher than it’s ever been, even in conservative enclaves like the US.
on the bad side, the most powerful people in a few countries like tge US are so afraid of glitter that they’re trying to override the other two branches of government in a vain efforts to shove the fancypants genie back in the bottle.
but that’s the thing about genies and bottles, though.
“being visible in today’s world is very very dangerous”
in some places, it is.
in other places it’s totally normal and accepted to be as visibly queer as you like, as it has been forever because other cultures have never been binary.
I support whatever course of action fulfills you and hope your activism achieves the further goals you are working toward, and also hope you’re aware that becoming a martyr is not the only or possibly most effective way you can be useful to your movement.
