Lunatics in charge of the asylum, next chapter
Submitted July 22, 2019, 11:36 a.m. by JulienMayfairAs I checked the website of this formerly gay male group this morning, the one that suffered a Queer/Trans takeover, I saw mostly a series of grandstanding posts including:
CIS WOMEN, TRANS WOMEN & TRANS MEN & PEOPLE OF COLOR SHOULD BE ALLOWED AND WELCOME EVERYWHERE IN OUR COMMUNITY!
And more from the same person:
Some share their groups are "not quite there yet"... how is that ANY different than the Racial Segregation Wars of the 1960s Civil Rights movement?
How is it different from racial segregation? Ummm . . . in a whole hell of a lot of ways. Maybe it has to do with the fact that racial segregation was a legacy of hundreds of years of slavery and a rigid system of social caste enforced by a legal system and lethal violence. That's not really comparable to asking if a relatively small number of gay men have the right to their own voluntary social group, especially when there are plenty of other LGBT groups. Or, well, it's not comparable unless you're a nutcase with a penchant for drama.
Also, people of color have always been welcome. There were black and Latino gay men participating in the 1990s. That's just a red herring.
The level of stupid shit people are saying -- and being congratulated for -- after the Queer/Trans coup is just amazing and disheartening.
I wonder if these people would really want to have a bunch of women in their favourite dimly lit dungeon on a Saturday night.
By their logic, literally everyone who isn't a "cis," straight, white guy should be allowed in their group. Trying to get the more woke points than anyone else all day long must be so tiring for them.
