I learned something today, that I regularly need to relearn.
When something is a huge milestone for the disprivileged minority group I belong to, then I don't want you to come and tell me that it doesn't matter, because it's still full of fail in so many other ways.
You are however welcome to tell me that it does matter, but that it is full of fail in so many other ways.
By all means, tell me about the fail. I want to discuss the fail. But don't you dare tell me that the specific oppression which the group I belong to suffers does not matter.
