#1 Jill Savitt, the National Center for Civil & Human Rights (@Ctr4CHR)
Jill Savitt seems to be a good person who genuinely cares abt working towards justice, but is caught up in a web of media, liberalism & big money that is actively attempting to neutralize her better angels.
Jill Savitt seems to be a good person who genuinely cares abt working towards justice, but is caught up in a web of media, liberalism & big money that is actively attempting to neutralize her better angels.
But regardless of her intent, as the face of a national center for Civil & Human Rights— someone with deep knowledge of conditions leading up to genocide, authoritarian regimes & other human rights atrocities— Savitt’s silence around the #StopCopCity movement has been noticeable.
@NSFTtweets Thank you. This should not have taken 2 1/2 years to correct. We look forward to hearing the @NSFTtweets Board answers to our other questions at or before the Board meeting on the 6 April.
@NSFTtweets Single sex wards are an issue of safety for women and girls.

In all the chaos of @NicolaSturgeon's GRR mess, little attention has been paid to the lobbyists behind it; #Stonewall.
The Scottish Parliament's Lobbying web-pages are quite interesting.

Here is a story about antisemitism on the British left.
Last May, Israel fought a brief war in the Gaza strip: over ten days they destroyed forty schools, four hospitals, and nearly a thousand buildings; they also snuffed out around 250 human lives.

I went to a protest against the war in central London, not because I really thought it could change anything, but out of the usual obscure sense of duty and guilt. It was a fun day out. There were thousands of us there, filling up the streets; I kept running into people I knew.
I kept running into people I knew. Most of them were—like me—Jewish. Afterwards, I discovered that the protest had actually, according to much of the press, been an orgy of antisemitic hate.
Mostly, this hate took the form of placards comparing Netanyahu to Hitler

Dear NSFT,
We appreciate your apology but you have failed to understand why "people" is not inclusive nor acceptable when talking about maternity services.
We guess you know this is an issue because you have BANNED replies to your tweet & FAIL to talk about mothers & mums. >>

Do you think deleting the word "birthing" is enough?
Failing to talk about mums, mothers and maternal services excludes women who may have English as a second language or with special needs, and distresses some mums. It is dangerous.
You are doubling down - and not listening.

1./ Is the LGBTQ+ lobby fit for purpose? If it's not erasing women's rights or promoting puberty blockers... #Stonewall messes with the minds of 2 year olds.👇
But perhaps it's the response to monkeypox which has best revealed the lobby's malign idiocy.

2./ The LGBTQ+ lobby's approach to monkeypox has been marked by all its trademark flaws: bullying groupthink, a bizarre inability to face facts and utter complacency about risks. These have contributed to monkeypox now being declared a global emergency.👇

3./ For years the LGBTQ+ lobby assured us it understood risks, whether it was of puberty blockers or trans access to women's spaces. That always seemed unlikely. After all, it denied anything happened at WiSpa right up until the alleged perp was charged.

Su #Stonewall e le rivolte che segnarono per sempre il destino della comunità #LGBTQ+ la storia spesso si confonde con la leggenda. Nessuno sa chi scagliò il primo pugno, ma c’è chi dice sia stata lei, e lei dice di essere stata la prima: Stormé DeLarverie, donna lesbica e nera.
Stormé DeLarverie nacque nel 1920 a New Orleans dalla relazione clandestina tra sua madre, donna afroamericana che lavorava come domestica, e il datore di lavoro, uomo bianco. La sua data di nascita è sconosciuta, ma lei adorava festeggiare il suo compleanno la vigilia di Natale.
Stormé capì di essere lesbica all’età di 18 anni, dopo un’adolescenza difficile in cui alla discriminazione per il colore della pelle si sommava quella per il suo aspetto “androgino”. Dopo il diploma si trasferì a Chicago, e iniziò ad esibirsi come cantante.
Dear Friends,
Fifty-three years ago, Stonewall Inn, a gay club in New York City, was the subject of a police raid: a pattern of explicit prejudice and bigotry targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
Fifty-three years ago, Stonewall Inn, a gay club in New York City, was the subject of a police raid: a pattern of explicit prejudice and bigotry targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
The subsequent riots are considered the catalyst of the United States’ gay rights movement. For that reason, we celebrate June as Pride Month. Pride in the joy and diversity found in the LGBTQ+ community,
Il 28 Giugno 1969 la comunità #LGBTQ+ reagì ad una retata della polizia presso lo #Stonewall Inn di NY, dando inizio ad una protesta che seguì per giorni: quella notte nacque il #Pride.
Tra le prime a ribellarsi, due donne trans e non bianche: Marsha P. Johnson e Sylvia Rivera.
Tra le prime a ribellarsi, due donne trans e non bianche: Marsha P. Johnson e Sylvia Rivera.
Marsha P. Johnson e Sylvia Rivera erano trans, erano povere e con la pelle scura, e lottavano perché questo non fosse una condanna. E quella notte di luna piena del 28 Giugno ‘69, l’estate di Woodstock, tra storia e mito, loro furono tra le prime a far sentire la propria voce.
Marsha P. Johnson nasce nel 1945 in New Jersey, e già da bambina, di nascosto, per gioco, inizia ad indossare vestiti femminili. Quando dirà a sua madre di pensare di essere gay, questa risponderà "essere gay è peggio di essere un cane".
Early on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 1969, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons rioted following a police raid on the #Stonewall Inn, a gay bar at 43 Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City.
This riot and further protests and rioting over the following nights were the watershed moment in the modern #LGBT rights movement and the impetus for organizing LGBT pride marches on a much larger public scale.
On Saturday, June 27, 1970, Chicago Gay Liberation organized a march from Washington Square Park ("Bughouse Square") to the Water Tower at the intersection of Michigan and Chicago avenues, which was the route originally planned.
Then many of the participants extemporaneously marched on to the Civic Center (now Richard J. Daley) Plaza.
The date was chosen because the #Stonewall events began on the last Saturday of June and because organizers wanted to reach the maximum number of Michigan Avenue shoppers.

In the 1980s there was a major cultural shift in the #Stonewall Riot commemorations.
The previous more loosely organized, grassroots marches and parades were taken over by more organized and less radical elements of the gay community.

The marches began dropping "Liberation" and "Freedom" from their names under pressure from more conservative members of the community, replacing them with the philosophy of "Gay Pride".
LGBT Pride Month occurs in the United States to commemorate the #Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969.
As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBT people have had in the world.

Gay people are forced to live private lives.
We can't hold hands in public without fear of being physically and verbally assaulted, or without fear of being judged.
People tell us we have it "so good".
I wonder how they would feel if they were forced to hide their whole life?

I call it straight privilege. And in my fifth decades as an openly gay man, this remains the same. Only this morning I read about yet another gay couple brutally attacked and now receiving treatment in hospital.
Imagine if you were persecuted just for being who you are?

June has come to be known colloquially as "LGBTQ Pride Month", which I suppose, many consider to be another step in the "right direction" toward acceptance of LGBTQ+ persons.
But as someone who's old enough to remember when the last weekend in June was a time of Queer Liberation Marches, I 'm saddened by the ways in which June has become another commercialised, corporately-sponsored "festival" that loses sight of the original objectives.
And I know, there are no shortage of drag queens who have politely turned down offers to appear on my podcasts and live shows, because they "refuse to discuss politics" (even aging drag queens, which is beyond reprehensible).
