So Trump's Jan 6 rioters are "traitors" and insurrectionists because some of them attacked cops, but when leftist activists attack cops, it's heroic and good? Do I have that straight? I'm trying to understand the morality of contemporary western liberalism but there are a lot of bizarre cognitive dissonances.
Everyone needs to watch this fantastic interview.. What a wonderful human being Rollerena really is. Atrue legend and an inspiration for many in the years to come. A life truly lived fully with dignity and kindness. I at 68yo learned so much from this interview. Please watch this if you can and share with others. ❤️❤️❤️
They blew the doors off the closet door! For the rest of us to walk right through…..And guess what? We are NEVER EVER GOING BACK! ❤❤🌈🌈🌈 THANK YOU! 🙏🏼 gratitude
This was seriously so beautiful to watch. I appreciate the acknowledgment of Sylvia Rivera & Marsha p Johnson and the amount of time spent discussing the importance of intersectionality in pride. All around incredible video.
Back then the only ones who experimented with gender roles were drag queens (who idolises the concept of the female diva and takes it to the extreme) and transsexuals (who were transitioning from one sex to the other). There were no one who called themselves trans and invented more genders than male and female and no one tried to cosplay as something inbetween. Crossdressers tried to break down traditional gender roles, understanding that they were constructs with only a little bit of biological sex in their foundation, but this was not an 'identity' fir them. It was a political and social statement and had nothing to do with their gender identity. The young people of Gen Z who think they are trans often do not know where the word even comes from and only claim to identify as teans to feel special and included. They have hijacked the LGBT movement to promote an ideology that is vastky different from what we started out as and I personally feel they do a great disservice to our entire community the way they are behaving today.
Every LGBT nonprofit in the nation should take note of something that happened last week and put it on their radar, as it very likely will put them under the microscope when applying for federal funding. Simply put, the Republicans have found a new way to go after our community - by taking away funding from your local community center, your LGBTQ+ health clinic, your HIV/AIDS service organization, your LGBTQ+ youth programs, or even LGBTQ+ affordable senior housing. Any one of them could be next on the Republicans’ hit list. And to do that, conservatives have been using fake information. Then Democratic Senators fell into their trap and defunded a one-million-dollar grant for renovations to a community center that, since the 1970s, has provided meals to HIV/AIDS patients, counseled homeless youth, provided senior programs, job training, and other services to low-income individuals, and served as a meeting place for scores of community organizations. Does this sound like your community center?
As a society, none of us have the right to pick out Specs in one eyes there is so much division in the gay community even though the trans community is a little eccentric at times do not act accordingly in the house is of worship! Please respect the family of her even though we do know biologically the case still respect whatever they choose to be called for those that wrote those nasty comments I do not understand trans but I do also know what respecting people are and this is a human being. She accomplished a lot, actress, advocate, and whatever she passed away from is none of anyone’s business and please respect that Show love instead of hate love is so much sweeter
You know, the weird thing is that by nature, you gay LGB whatever you call yourselves don’t procreate children, but you have no problem, manipulating children that aren’t yours into growing up being is the right thing to do. When does non-binary crap get out of control to the point where most of America’s kids are confused because of your movement you take no responsibility at all as this is nothing but a revenge plot by you

I’m a cisgender 68 yo male and I was taught that queer is wrong. No more! I’m no longer buying that. I want to be an ally. No one could put up a fight like this, against all odds, for a life choice! No one chooses to be LGBTQIA+…Y’ALL JUST ARE!
They don't hate white men. They're saying that a straight white guy (especially rich) doesn't get discriminated against as much as a trans black lesbian for example. It's about acknowledging what's the norm in the world and saying that people shouldn't be beaten for not being that
Homosexuality is the result of early childhood and continuing indoctrination and influence to worship the image of "God" as male, and to idolize men. Violence-prone "homophobic-homosexuality" is the result of early childhood and continuing Mosaic-Sharia-Puritan indoctrination and influence to worship the image of "God" as a wrathful vengeful avaricious misogynist misanthropic racist homophobic homosexual male humanoid ethereal demon, and to idolize and to adore men having those same traits. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pdwOz6W8GrQ.html
