1/ @PinkNews, under the leadership of the UK's mini Goebbels @benjamincohen, continues its tradition of Big Lie "journalism" by claiming scrutiny of LGB Alliance by the Charity Commission (untrue) while ignoring the fact that the complainant @Mermaids_Gender is the one and... 2/... only one all along that's ever been under scrutiny for its conduct officially by the Charity Commission.

Drowning in Pink News' sweet, sweet tears today.

No link to the Pink News article because Pink News presents opinion as fact.

In his own words, Rae "Sylvia" Rivera, clearly stated to LGB historian Martin Duberman, "𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯."

1/ Imagine a reporter writing a nearly one thousand word story about Pride & its creation, and then never once using the words "gay" or "lesbian" while repeatedly using the words "queer" and "trans joy." No founder of Pride called themself queer or trans.
addisonindependent.com/2023/06/22/big… 2/ If the reporter had bothered to research the founding proposal for Pride they would have learned that it said, "We propose that a demonstration be held annually on the last Saturday in June in New York City to commemorate the 1969 spontaneous demonstrations on Christopher...

1/ This coming month, as I said earlier this past weekend, is a time that I dread. The historical revisionists come out of the woodwork to trans our LGB history in droves. Here's an example of a self-described pudgy, queer "historian" and researcher for @MakingGayHistry, that... 2/... I'll call "Tyler," twisting the known facts to suit his preferred, false narrative, and who richly deserves the trip to the historical woodshed that I'm about to give him.

One method of Tyler's dishonesty is to make baseless, inflated claims using thin evidence and then...

Joanna Cherry @joannaccherry, a Scottish National Party Minister of Parliament, had scheduled an event at a club called The Stand in Edinburgh, Scotland. Ms Cherry is 'a prominent opponent of the Scottish Government’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill,...

UPDATE on the Compton's Cafeteria riots:
1/ The earliest press report that I've located is from The San Francisco Examiner 6/4/89, 23 years later & still no date.

"Gays and drag queens battle police for three nights at the late night Compton's Cafeteria at Turk and Taylor." 2/ Interesting. G̲A̲Y̲S̲ and drag queens" in a source on the topic, but today the story is about drag queens only who are now called 'transgender' and 'transwomen'.

But even more interesting is that's more of a footnote in Beth Hughes Special Report, "San Francisco's Own...

1/ Random Saturday afternoon sitting on the porch though:

Sometimes when discussing Stonewall on Twitter, a trans ü𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯 supremacist chimes in with, "but muh Compton Cafeteria (San Francisco, CA) riot!"

I lived in NYC during late 60s, running a gay bookshop and... 2/... must confess that I never heard of it, but then most gay New Yorkers then never heard about anything west of the Hudson River.

I looked up the Compton Cafeteria riots and none of the sources I found could name the date that the riots occurred other than 'during the...

"It's Like Déjà Vu All Over Again." - Yogi Berra

1/ Every year at this time, in what I think of as the prelude to Pride month, the LGBTQIA2SYAP+ press comes out of the gate with Magnus Hirschfeld "pioneer" drivel.  This year is the 90th anniversary of the sacking of... 2/... Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Research - ISR) in Berlin by National Socialist students of the Hochschule für Leibesübungen (Berlin School of Physical Education) on May 6, 1933, culminating in the burning of tens of thousands of the...

1/ .@ZoAndBehold is an example of the expression "lying politician." He's so busy staying on message for his next hit on MSNBC from one of his fawning supporters posing as an interviewer that he can't control their tells. He believes that no one can find his lies. They're... 2/... everywhere.

My primary assailants were associated with @outrightvermont, proponents of the new conversion therapy of... 2/ LGB youth. They support the use of known medically unsafe devices, so-called "puberty blockers" and the absurd use of sex hormones to supposedly change ones sex. A woman growing a beard whilst taking testosterone and undergoing mutilating surgeries will never become a...
