Let’s get one thing straight — and it sure as hell isn’t us: Pride was never just a party.
It was — and still is — a protest. A riot. A resistance.
And now? It’s a paper trail.

Because we’ve saved every flyer. Every headline. Every anti-LGBTQ+ vote, every donation receipt from rainbow-wrapped corporations to hate-filled PACs. Every sermon. Every scandal. Every screenshot.

And we’re filing them alphabetically under F — for fabulous, furious, and finally done being polite.

This Is Not a Series. It’s a War Journal.

The Queer Resistance Files are the receipts they hoped we wouldn’t keep — and we’re photocopying them in glitter ink.

We’re not rewriting history. We’re dragging it into the light.

• From conversion camps cloaked in hymns,
• To lawmakers who preach hate by day and swipe right by night,
• To corporations who love us in June and lobby against us in July —

This is our full-blown exposé of how queerness has been politicized, monetized, demonized — and how we’re reclaiming it.

Silence Was Never an Option.

We’ve been told to tone it down. To play nice. To wait our turn.

Well guess what? We took that silence and burned it. Then we laminated the ashes and filed them under “Bullsh*t We’re Not Taking Anymore.”

From the Editor’s Desk — a.k.a. the Battlefield in Heels:

This isn’t about outing people.
It’s about calling out systems.
It’s about exposing the gap between who they pretend to be and who they vote against.

We’re done whispering. We’re done begging.
We’re archiving the revolution — and stapling receipts to every flagpole.

Now Filing Under “R” — for Rage.

Read every entry. Share every image. And remember:
They might control the laws, but we control the narrative now.

Welcome to the resistance.
Welcome to the files.
