What a fun day on the ninth floor this is going to be. Also, 'Pinkwashing' redux: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/66570376/pinkwashing-statement-on-lgbti-politics

We live in a 21st century capitalist democracy. Equality is having everything you hold dear about your identity used to market bullshit. Seriously.

Boo loving hoo. That poor little bank, being so viciously targeted by those mean gays. When will society stand up for the little guys trying to do the right thing?

You mean those poor loving gays being targeted by trans-activists. When a social justice protest is indistinguishable from a homophobic attack it's a loving disgrace.

dusty posted:You mean those poor loving gays being targeted by trans-activists. What? What makes you think they're trans? QAI is a queer movement protesting the commercialisation of queerdom. I don't see how you think pink paint and a letter explaining how commercialisation and appropriation of queer culture is indistinguishable from a homophobic attack. What sort of homophobic attacks do you usually see, dusty?

If you blend into the scenery set by that ATM next to the Queen-Customs street ANZ, I think that's a pretty good benchmark.

Matty Dentith has written a thing on the pride parade protest. If you're up for a long form piece do read. http://all-embracing.episto.org/2015/02/24/we-are-primed-to-see-a-reflection-on-the-pride-noprideinprisons/ The crux of Dentith's piece is this extract: quote:If the Pride Parade is meant to represent the queer community but makes the space unsafe for sections of that community which are still suffering massive marginalisation and oppression from wider society, then not only is the Pride Parade disingenuous but it also files[sic] in the face of its own history. Which unfortunately for his argument is functionally identical to: quote:If a protest is meant to represent the queer community but makes the space unsafe for sections of that community which are still suffering massive marginalisation and oppression from wider society, then not only is the protest disingenuous but it also files[sic] in the face of its own history.

I guess in an ideal world all at risk groups would have access to free PR consultancy so that they can protest correctly

to be fair the construction noise outside work is making me ornery. Funny how from this article it looks like every other party in government disagrees with the decision to send troops to fight

Key could receive a hand written letter from God himself saying not to go to war and he'd still do it if he thought it'd make him look good to his US paymasters.

Oh I pity the kids you teach - it must be so demoralising for them to face a wet blanket at the front of the the classroom sobbing and apologising for privilege. /for the record I don't think intersectionality and the existence of trans discrimination is reason enough to invade the safe space of a marginalised group with violent protest. gently caress em, what sicko oval office thinks its a swell idea to invade a pride parade and fight with security guards? dusty fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Feb 24, 2015 |
