The political satire doesn’t make me laugh so much as it crushes my spirit.

Civil rights for black people alienate the working class

In less than ten years, I saw three of my cousins transition. This seemed to correspond neatly with trans-rights being mainstreamed as a social issue. Almost as though there are a lot of trans-people, many of whom were simply in the closet until the moment it became socially acceptable to be themselves.

Why subtweet Hillary Clinton on this one? It’s almost an exact quote.

Trans rights are human rights, working class are human.

Yes I ate the onion but I know well meaning 'progressives' like this and they infuriate me

Before Stonewall: Queer liberation’s Communist Party roots

That might sound like a big claim to make, but it was Communist ideology and political strategy that provided the theoretical and practical architecture of the earliest effort to win gay equality in the United States—the Mattachine Society, a group whose ideas underpinned all the struggles and victories in the country that have been won over the past half century. Without them, there would no doubt have been a movement for queer equality in one form or another, as there were already stirrings elsewhere prior to Mattachine, especially in Europe. But without Mattachine, the movement that emerged would likely have looked a lot different than it does now.
