I really want there to be a path to redemption when someone does something wrong. I want to forgive them.

But this is a gaslight not an apology. We know the Olympic organizing committee is lying.

We know they know how divisive this all is. We know they KNOW.

1/

They are pushing their new ideology. They want it to overtake the old. That is what queering MEANS.

Queer theory is a specific teaching. It is taught in many colleges. It is designed to break down the norms surrounding sexuality. 2/

That is why you will see academic papers like these. That are queering these taboo topics. 32

This is intentional. There are many papers on queering. I’m sure some of the replies will include more information about it.

This was the intention of the organizer Thomas Jolly who wrote that he promised to challenge the current models and our way of seeing. 4/

You saw how he challenged our ways. It was very very clear. No mystery at all.

So when he says it wasn’t their intention to offend that is a barefaced lie.

What they are trying to do is gaslight you. Make you think nothing happened. They want to hide it.

Worse, they want YOU to look bad if you challenge this. It is just you being unaccepting, intolerant. It is all a part of the theory and how to push it through society. 5/

They don’t like sunlight on their actions. They work better through stealth; through normalizing what they are doing. Pretending it you that has something wrong with them.

They will use lots of insults to get you to stop talking about what they are doing. 7/

Again. I WANT to forgive the Olympics. I really really want to. But I really don’t like it when anyone tries to deceive me.

That apology was a gaslight. A technique designed to make you look bad if you don’t accept.
