    Is it ok for a white person to shout “black lives matter” even when they only/mostly have white friends? Of course it is! Because it shows solidarity. By you showing rainbow iconography you do exactly what is shown in the original post. You don’t have to affiliated with people to accept them for who they are and to show everyone that.

    I hate saying all the letters (doesn’t roll of the tongue easily) so I usually say queer. Some might feel offended by it, as there are always people being offended by anything, but it’s not like I try to exclude anyone by saying it.

    I consider myself queer even though I’m attracted to the opposite sex. I have only a few gay and trans friends and a few non-white friends but I stand beside them and fight for them, and anyone one else wherever they are on the skin color spectrum, gender and sexuality spectrum, from whatever ethnicity they might me, so they can feel safe and accepted.

    There are also some gay people I know that I despise, as they are toxic AF. But even for them I fight because the despise has nothing to do with them being gay and they have as much right as anyone else to be who they are.

    I only judge people for their character and actions. I fight for equality, even for people I don’t like or hang out with.
