“She was not what I'd refer to as a "Mommy-Mom," which was what I envied most of my friends for having. A Mommy-Mom is someone who takes an interest in everything her child has to say even when there is no actual way she gives a shit, who whisks you away to the doctor when you complain of the slightest ailment, who tells you "they're just jealous" if someone makes fun of you, or "you always look beautiful to me" even if you don't, or "I love this!" when you give them a piece of crap for Christmas.”

“I don't call it queerphobia, just like I don't call it transphobia or Islamophobia. To call anti-queer bigotry or anti-trans hatred or anti-Muslim racism a phobia is to grant that kind of ugliness some measure of validity by implying that there is something to be afraid of. A phobia is a phobia because there is an irrational degree of fear behind it, which presupposes that there is something to fear, and, there, the person with the phobia deserves a degree of compassion and understanding. I don't stand for that. Call it what it is: hate. Hate that leads to and calls for violence. Hate that has consequences for people, for real human beings and their lives.”
