you can enjoy your rainbow Oreos, and celebrate with rainbow bottles of alcohol, and take rainbow pens from your bank, and buy pride merch from Target and Walmart.
you can take advantage of the spoils that rainbow capitalism offers you, you can enjoy them, and celebrate them.
it’s a symbol of how far we’ve come, just to be recognized as a valuable demographic to be catered to, to be publicly aligned with.

I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.
Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.
People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.
Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.
People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.
