Every one of these people sobbing their faces off and going into hysterics about #drag shows and drag storytime is 1000 percent full of shit. They are not trying to prevent #kids from being exposed to “#sexual material”; they want, desperately and with their whole hearts, a way to (further) marginalize #LGBTQ+ people without coming off as the #bigoted assholes they obviously are.

Anti-Diversity and Anti-Inclusion is HATE. I will say it as many times as necessary.
For those who aren't paying attention, the reason it needs to be said is that strong political forces in Canada are trying to change the meaning of anti-diversity and anti-inclusion to "saving" and "protecting". NOBODY is ever saved or protected by teaching them to hate. PERIOD.
Nobody is ever made safer by putting marginalized people in danger.

This story of Catholic priests in Germany blessing same-sex couples in defiance of church officials reminds me of something another German priest told me some years back. He said,
"We bless fields, water, food, dogs, cats, rabbits, tractors, guns, ships.
But we are not allowed to bless two men or two women who love each other."
The Catholic church remains in its institutional form, sad to say, a bastion of patriarchal homophobia.

"MAGA politics, after all, is about the subtext: Great for whom? The emphasis on the word Again gives away the game. It won’t be great in the future for the people who didn’t have it great in the past."
"In a reactionary political movement desperately trying to reestablish the racial and sexual hierarchies of the past, pervasive fear of Black history is not hard to fathom. The more accurate the history that Americans learn, especially about the centuries-long Black struggle against violent White supremacy, the more morally and politically indefensible is the cry of Make America Great Again."
