'rattle in seattle' counter protest

there's been back to back right-wing demonstrations in seattle as of this weekend, and i attended the counterprotest for the one from today. this is a terrifying trend in a trump-ist USA. i know its not safe to be unanonymous about attending a protest but honestly im not scared of those pricks. i moved to seattle because i know how queer friendly it is. its been my dream since i was young. i guess no where is truly safe.

they act like they're so fucking loving. and i end up looking like the crazy tranny. i flipped one of them off, and they did a heart sign back to me. and to everyone around them, i was just a sad angry confused little girl. it felt like being bullied all over again. but it wasnt all bad. honestly it was mostly good, despite the mediocre christian rock we had to stomach for 3+ hours. i held up this fabric sign.

i met this beautiful trans woman with blueish-green lipstick, and we stood next to each other almost the entire time. we tried to drown out their shitty creed knockoff music with our chanting. my throat hurts. worth it. trans rights are human rights.
