The pro-choice comedian, who stars in new gay rom-com 'Fire Island,' says “The Supreme Court can overturn so many things that we count on as queer people.”
'Queer Eye' Host Karamo Brown Calls on Straight Supporters to Speak Up Against Anti-Gay Laws, Queer Community to Unify
It is important to know that if the Supreme Court can overturn Roe v. Wade, they can definitely overturn so many things that we count on as queer people to even signify equality. We are not even close to equality, but now we are being pushed back on so hard by this right-wing insanity that believes that we are actually taking over. Which is never the case. It has never been that, and it is never going to be that.
I am absolutely astonished. I am livid. It is disgusting. But they have done this methodically, chipping away at our rights and our Constitution. And it is the tiny continual victories they have won that we have really let slide. It is coming from the Democratic [Party] place of not even dignifying things with a response because we are just so above it that we are not going to stoop down to their level.
It is starting to take shape that we are leaning back into this patriarchal heteronormative kind of government that can regulate who we are as people. So we have to stay together and fight for justice in all of these avenues because they all lead back to the same thing, which is loss of freedom for all of us. It does not matter what organization you back, as long as you are doing something. Abortion Access Front is a great resource.
It is time to stop it, stoop to their level and really sling that mud and get down there and fight. Because we cannot be polite and allow these things to happen anymore. We cannot imagine that we are living in a polite society because we are not. It’s time to really take a stand.
