Here's the thing I can say to younger queer folks now in case they don't know this: before the internet they told us there were ZERO others like us. ZERO. They told each and every single one of us that we were wrong and alone and didn't have stories that deserved to be told in fact had stories that could not be told at any cost.
So when they say there aren't *enough* of us now to defend our rights, to stand up for basic human rights, when they say we're too few to consider, too fringe, too little too vulnerable, too outside to consider? They're lying again, still and always.
They want queer people to feel like we're alone when we really, really, really fucking ARE and HAVE BEEN and WILL ALWAYS be here and if you feel alone because everyone around you says you are, remember they lie.

Also! Protests don't have to be huge to do most of these things! Even a small protest can help people come together and practice solidarity. Small protests can feel really empowering, especially if you are having a good time and manage your expectations.
I've never been an organizer, but I have *helped* people (with, like, sign making and that sort of thing), and planning a protest can be a really instructive way to learn how to work with other people for a goal.
