Aren Allowed Quote by Nico Lang

“You can tell a lot about a society by those they push to the margins, and our community doesn’t leave much room for men of color, trans men, disabled men or anyone who doesn’t look like our friends. We show them the door. We tell them they aren’t allowed in here.” quote by Nico Lang
