@alfredtwu i never get it when lgb people turn anti-trans...how easy they forgot that the trans (and queer) community fought for their rights...
For their right to marry and adopt...
An event roughly as sensible as a sentient species deciding that, having invented fire and cooked their first meal, they should promptly outlaw the wheel for fear it might roll away with all the good plates.
Pride was a riot. 🧱
@alfredtwu Apart from the message, that I wholeheartedly agree with, this post also shows one huge benefit of good media captions:
I looked at the picture for 2 seconds and was ready to scroll on, but then I saw the caption and spent a lot longer reading it than I did looking at the picture. In this case it may not have given me new information, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
In this fast paced society we need more deceleration like that. So thank you!
First they came for the trans folk, but I did not speak out, for I was not trans...
None of us are free until all of us are free.
The reality is more like a triangle of dominos, yet the artist drew what called to them. It's a powerful image. We're all in danger of being toppled.
@alfredtwu The Trumpistas remind me of the scene in Casablanca where Captain Renault (French) says "But everybody's having such a good time," and Major Strasser (German Nazi) says, "Yes, much too good a time."
Diverse communities have more fun. Like at the Chinese New Year parade in San Francisco last Saturday, with a diverse group of spectators: (tried to add a video but it is not showing up).
@alfredtwu @davidculley Not sure freedom of region should be in there, lots not forget how religion oppresses women and their rights as well a discriminates against gay/trans etc and indeed their rights.
Religion is all about division that aside it makes a good point
