Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City.
Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation. https://t.co/Ptoy3nAKz4
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
its so depressing to see how rude everyone's become nowadays. like, there is literally ZERO reason to get so upset over somebodys cover of a song.
you don't have to like it!!! but you shouldn't be such an ass about it either.
i just wish people would just be kinder to eachother.
@wigachuy@LapizNotLapiz There’s an important distinction. Edits, fan animations, fan songs, hell, even those videos where they jokingly edit an OC in? Those are all made out of love for the original. Just replacing a song you don’t like in an animation and calling it an improvement is so egotistical.
@wigachuy You’re not. You’re taking the artist’s work and editing it which is disrespectful to the artist. If you were doing the same thing, you’d be animating your own version
