Thread: I understand that some are puzzled by an Anti-Hate speech protest being symbolised by a Unicorn. There is a history of minorities taking the words used against them, making them their own, & celebrating them. For instance ‘Queer’.
Fascists have invented a ridiculous idea that Trans people symbolise themselves as unicorns in order to ‘convert’ children. If Fascists understood symbolism they might get the irony of that:
For the past few weeks The Far Right have taken over a Dublin Street. These same bigots have campaigned against Trans people & used the Far Right unicorn idea. They also said that the Street was Dublin’s Speakers Corner & invited people down to talk.
The LGBTQI community (who Fascists murdered in the 1930s) took up the offer & rechristened Barrow St as #SpeakersUnicorner
The hate speech of the Far Right is not just Transphobic, it’s also Xenophobic, Anti-Semitic, Islamophobic@ & Homophobic. It promotes anti-Vaccination conspiracies, threatens minorities, attacks women & is subject to several Garda investigations.
When Irish mothers are physically threatened, when Irish minorities can’t leave their homes, when assaults take place & when those spewing hate speech can take over a Dublin St it’s time to act. Please share this event & stand up for human rights.
