All I need really is...


All I need is justice. All I need is equality. I am a proud queer xicana. I do not need to be fetishized. I do not need to "go back to my own country". I do not need white people to tell me what to do,say,think,or how to act. I do not need approval from..anyone really. I need to be able to walk down the street,day or night,and not be afraid. I need to not worry if the police will kill one of my black or brown brothers or sisters. All I need is a living wage. All I need is opportunity. I need to be able to be me, unapologetically,and not be afraid. All I need is intersectional feminism. All I need is acceptance and love and equality and opportunity.
