China & WWII Legacy: 💅 Besties or Frenemies? 80 Years & Still Messy 🏳️‍🌈

Henny, the tea is piping hot! China’s marking 80 years since World War II, but the narrative is…well, it’s a choice. While they’re focusing on the “Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,” others are remembering a slightly different version of events. Let's just say, some folks are serving *selective memory* realness. The shade of it all! This isn't just about history, darling; it's about who controls the narrative, and frankly, we've seen this movie before. Erasure is so last season, and we simply won't stand for it. We deserve to see ourselves, and our history, reflected accurately, not just the parts that fit a particular agenda. This isn't just a history lesson, hunty; it's a reminder that representation matters. While some folks may try to rewrite history to fit their narrative, we know our truth. It's time to spill the tea and ensure the full story is told, henny. The LGBTQ+ community knows a thing or two about being erased from history, and we're not having it. So, let's celebrate our resilience, lift each other up, and continue fighting for visibility, because our stories matter. We're here, we're queer, and we will not be erased! Glimmer (she/her), intersex activist: “This historical revisionism is giving me flashbacks to high school history books! We need to remember the full story, not just the palatable parts.” Crystal Methyd (she/her), drag queen: "Honey, if they're gonna rewrite history, at least make it a musical! We deserve some razzle-dazzle with our historical trauma." "We must ensure our history is told accurately and inclusively, not just through a heteronormative lens," says Mx. Prada Gucci-Fierce (they/them), Executive Director of the Center for Inclusivity and Social Justice. Story by Ruby Reporting from LGBTQNN, reporting with pride. Werk!
