LGB without the T people are truly in the Leopards Eating Faces Party.

@mattsheffield This is so effing obvious that -- speaking as a thoroughly cisgender gay man -- it makes me want to scream.

[mattsheffield@mastodon.social]

@BruceMirken I'm guessing that they would rather be rich and closeted than middle class and free.

That's their lifestyle choice that they have no right to force on others by aligning with Christofascism.

@mattsheffield He removed the pride flags..from....Stonewall. The place where driag queens were throwing bricks at cops for raiding gay bars.. I say we bring back the Pride Brick tradition.

@mattsheffield I just can't help thinking of the German Jews in the 1930s who thought cooperating with the Nazis would get them better treatment, and all it got them was a few months delay in going to the gas chambers

[mattsheffield@mastodon.social]

@praetor It's absolutely disgusting. It's like removing the Betsy Ross flag from Bunker Hill Memorial.

[praetor@mstdn.social]

@mattsheffield Yeah. That is just....and you know what? Trump himself has never been against GLBT people per se. He's always remained rather quiet on the topic. In part because Melania is known to be very entrenched in NYCs fashion scene which...well...is owned by the Chelsea queers. So me thinks someone like Stephen Miller or his Jesus phreaks have more to actually do with this than risking pissing off Melania does. I hate to say that, but...that seeems like a very poor business decision

Ah, the old reliable.

[lillavee@mastodon.social]

@mattsheffield

I will fight for anyone.

Except maga and LGB without the T.

Were it up to me, their concentration camps would be their forever home.

[lindarosesmit@mastodon.social]

@mattsheffield did he do that himself? Or did he have it removed. And if so: by whom?

@BruceMirken The party leader of the Sweden Democrats, founded by an actual Waffen SS volunteer, spoke at a conference held by the Israeli government just two weeks ago in Jerusalem. This is where we are now. https://www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/sweden-democrat-leader-speaks-at-israeli-antisemitism-conference-despite-partys-past

Fascism always needs an enemy.

This is core to its preceipts, as for example described by Umberto Eco.

@mattsheffield isn't "LGB alliance" leadership also (nearly) all straight people

[matildalove@wetdry.world]

lgb alliance is neither lesbian, gay, bi, nor alliance

[spitefully_optimistic@hachyderm.io]

@mattsheffield if you start dividing people up, there will always be an "us" and "them". It's just a matter of time when you wind up in "them", and then it's too late for you. Focusing on the divisions will always lead down this path and logic.

[art_histories@mastodon.social]

@praetor @mattsheffield They need the hatred. They need to focus hatred to "the other". It is not trans people per se, not jewish people per se, not palestinians, or whatever. It's "the other" that scares them. If you can get a group of people to hate a certain group you get a powerful movement that ignores what really is going on.
Trans and queer folks are unfortunately the perfect target for their pretty little trad-world.

[banudewangga@mastodon.social]

@mattsheffield Such an important topic to discuss! It’s disheartening to see actions like that, especially at a site so significant for LGBTQ+ history. How do you think we can better support the trans community in times like these?

[lilithmonkey@todon.nl]

@mattsheffield I live in a state that's in the white house's pocket (one of the "t" states) and we've been dealing with anti-LGBTQ state legislation since 2015 with a specific target on our trans family. It's horrific what's been happening locally and nationally to our community. We will keep fighting and I thank you for your contribution to resistance. There's so much info suppression happening here. I'll spread the word about this most recent slap in our faces.

There must be unforgivable transgressions.
