Thank you for joining me @mcmun_elaine_c for our coverage of queer rights at McMUN! Watch below for our coverage of the fantastic committees of WHO & Vogue’s approach to prioritizing LGBT+ rights!
Nicole Kidman strongly suggests that the resolution named FIERCE is BASED gets passed and argues that Chic Flower Power uses exclusive language by only mentioning “women” in their clauses… nothing more.. Kidman says that their resolution is the true meaning of inclusivity
@mcmun_elaine_c It seems like the ICONIC bloc is ICONS as they are working to provide equity in data collection through diverse and region-specific queer voices. They are working to create a board where LGBT inclusion is paramount! #ICONS#queerhealth
FIRE QUESTION from the delegate of Croatia, as he asked where they are getting their funding from. They are getting education and grants from LGBTQ+ lead organizations as well as queer-led non-profits and mutual aid organizations! Mcmun slay queer rights! #SLAY#mutualaid.
The resolution named Being FIERCE is BASED has some of the following clauses: must state how they prefer their names and pronouns to appear in publications. In the honor of three black designers who died, all photographers and models will be BIPOC including queer people.
The WERK paper through ELTON provides healthcare bias screenings to ensure there are no healthcare workers with biases against queer people. There are many religious healthcare workers in the field who do not support the queer community. Is this not political discrimination?
Inclusivity seems to be a general agreement amongst all delegates in the Vogue committee, when it comes to LGBT inclusion in the world of fashion, some resolutions shine brighter than others #fashionforall
