Section 28 didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% thought homosexuality was wrong. From a society that feared the sight of a man in drag would corrupt. From a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of gay lives. 🧵 1/16

1. Lots of talk about the Pride Flag embassy ban. I want to give context, as I reported heavily on anti-LGBTQ+ riders in the budget fight. 1) Biden/Dems deserve the criticism they are getting on this rider. 2) Over 40+ horrific targeted anti-LGBTQ+ riders died, except this one.

I know there's nothing new/interesting to say about The Kate Issue now, but it is still wiiiiiillllld to me that they made the Photoshop Fail HER fault instead of being like, "We are so sorry, our intern, Cuthbert Bottingsly-Smythe, was overzealous and has thusly been beheaded."

JK Rowling is doing it *again*. She has pivoted to an alternate reality where the people providing evidence of the looting of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft are instead claiming that trans people suffered "more than anyone else" in Nazi Germany. Provide one single example!
This is a bizarre but incredibly important interaction for understanding how JK Rowling's mind works post-radicalisation, and how cult movements and extremist groups are able to function in conflict with seemingly undeniable reality. A small thread 🧵

I don’t have to imagine the roles were reversed in my grandparents lifetimes AND WORSE. I’m not even saying BLACKS ONLY I’m saying I’m inviting black ppl first! They can bring their white friends or lovers if they want. There’s no colour bar. But one existed in the UK recently! – at Kensington, London
You are racist against white people. Imagine if the roles were reversed. Shame on you!

In a slight rage over the moral panic that that a certain aspect of the British public have frothed up around Black Out Nights, two nights out of over a hundred, that have seen audiences members of all race in attendance over the last four years since its inception on Broadway. – at Paddington, London

the Hays code was still in effect until Ralph Fiennes was six years old. he was twenty-seven years old when a gay kiss was shown for the first time on UK TV.
“When I was young we never had trigger warnings for shows” Actor Ralph Fiennes “the impact of theatre should be that you’re shocked” and that he thinks audiences have gone too soft #BBCLauraK bbc.in/3SC359H

the death of this app has been such a blow to community & info-gathering and I realize I am x-ing this into a void that was once a bustling place but I just want to say it sucks and is fucking up solidarity, learning from each other, trust in media & organizing

I've been thinking about the word 'queer' and why (particularly when writing about history) I value it.  Why removing it from the lexicon without a meaningful substitute would be damaging and dangerous in terms of our very ability to talk about ourselves. 1/
