She asserts that to be queer is to be political, and the carefully glittered façade of solidarity in the pride movement veils dangerous neoliberal ideals of apolitical queer embodiment. The rainbow as a symbol of communal solidarity is a hollow offering when cis white LGBTQ people are allowed to opt out of divesting from white supremacy, misogyny, and transphobia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Rainbow Ain't Never Been Enuf\u003c\/em\u003e fills a necessary gap in our understanding of how racism, transphobia, and antiblackness operate in liberal spaces.
