discussion Does this poem ring true for the gays of ATRL who bash trans/nb people?

Something to think about I fear 

 

Quote

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

- adapted from a piece by Martin Niemöller

Yep. Pick-me gays will sell out the very people who fought for their rights, as if they're not next in line. It's pathetic.

 

It also shows that they would probably be homophobic if they weren't gay. Their line of thinking is "MY struggle is valid, but everybody else is just begging for attention".

This speaks to me as a Lana fan who hates her new music. I know there are more of us out there and it is time to speak UP.

No.

They'll be saying "no" even as the noose gets tied around their neck. Pride means more to them than truth

Weren't you advocating on here for the homeless in your town to be killed? Checks out. 

[RunUpDoneUp]

Yeah, it does.

 

The path to the gas chamber is paved by good intentions and many gay men are building that path for their trans neighbor,  while straight men are building that path for them.
