Target And The Problem With Performative LGBTQ+ Allyship

An open letter to Target from LGBTQ+ rights activist George Takei.

The Big Picture
@georgetakei "allyship" that immediately gives in to the attacker's demands isn't allyship. We have a word for that. It's called cowardice.
@LadyDragonfly @georgetakei Do you work in retail? I donโ€™t. Besides being shitty and low paid, itโ€™s now (seems to have started during the pandemic) dangerous in many places. Itโ€™s easy for those of us not on the firing line to be โ€œbrave.โ€
@shofstader @LadyDragonfly @georgetakei that's literally the point. The LGBTQ community doesn't get the choice whether or not to be brave. Allies do.
