Soon we will all realise that there is nothing inherently progressive about being queer or homosexual.
It is just a sexuality, like any other inherent trait.
Queer people can be racists, fascists, misogynists, sexists and terrorists. It is not a protective shield from the "isms".

BREAKING: Trump left FURIOUS after musicians cancel their shows left and right at the Kennedy Center in protest of his takeover!
Jazz legend Chuck Redd made headlines last week for canceling his planned Christmas jazz concert in direct response to Trump putting his name on the walls, but he’s not the only one.
Lin-Manuel Miranda has cancelled the entire run of the 10-year-anniversary celebration of Hamilton. “Morally, it was not complicated, because the Kennedy Center has historically been a bipartisan birthplace for the best of our nation's arts. Trump's administration politicized that when they fired the board and Trump named himself head of it…It was a very easy decision for us to not participate in what that's becoming."
Issa Rae cancelled her sold-out show, saying that “unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning folk singer Rhiannon Giddens cancelled her show at the Kennedy Center back in February, saying “I cannot in good conscience play at The Kennedy with the recent programming changes forced on the institution by this new board."
Peter Wolf, lead singer of the J. Giels band, also cancelled his show at the Kennedy Center "due to the egregious firing of staff by the new administration."
Low Cut Connie, a Philly-based rock and soul band, cancelled their concert at the Kennedy Center for similar reasons. “I was very excited to perform as part of this wonderful institution’s Social Impact series, which emphasizes community, joy, justice and equity through the arts. Upon learning that this institution that has run non-partisan for 54 years is now chaired by President Trump himself and his regime, I decided I will not perform there,” wrote frontman Adam Weiner on Instagram.
ALL musicians need to boycott the Kennedy Center until Trump gives up control and takes his name off this once-prestigious institution.
Hope you got Kid Rock on speed dial, Donald, because that’s the only musical “talent” you’ll be able to get to play there!
Anyone backing Trump, Netanyahu, or Putin is not ignorant, they see what we see, know what we know, and understand what is going on. They want to destroy our nations, conquer, steal, rape and kill. They stand for everything those 3 beasts stand for, they embrace it fully aware.
Amanda Nguyen, the first Vietnamese woman to go to space on the Blue Origin flight this year, opens up about the depression she suffered from an “avalanche of misogyny” in the backlash following the mission:
“I felt like collateral damage, my moment of justice mutilated. I did not leave Texas for a week, unable to get out of bed. A month later, when a senior staff at Blue called me, I had to hang up on him because I could not speak through my tears.”
White women so funny. They can call someone an inspiration, write songs in their honor and then tell us they didn’t know shit about said persons life or deviances. Girl, fuck you!
Zara Larsson responds to comment claiming her boyfriend isn’t Swedish:
“How people react when they see the Swedish boy im kissing isn’t blonde with blue eyes”
A year or two ago the quotes would be filled with women posting their plates auditioning and now it’s filled with them calling y’all lazy and useless. Nature is healing 🙂↕️
White people saying people should only get opportunities based on merit, not skin color, while not recognizing that they essentially get opportunities based on skin color, not merit, is peak white privilege.
