Soft-inked greetings from ThePurpleOctopus ๐
Queer, non-binary, trans, pan, polyam and many-armed, and thinking in several directions at once.
I like curiosity, kindness, politics with teeth, art with feelings, and science done properly. I like languages, cats, cows, trains, and the Oxford comma.
I'm a Translator and Teacher by trade, a Traveller by desire.
Here to listen, to learn, to tangle gently, and to leave the tide a little warmer than I found it.

German publicist Ali Utlu, former human rights activist turned anti queer and anti woke mouthpiece, claims constitutional protection for queer people would protect pedophiles because "pedophiles could claim to be queer and go unpunished."
That is a vile lie. Queer people are not criminals. Child abuse is. Rights protect people, not crimes.
I wonder what turns people like Utlu into such deplorable scum.

Yesterday, queer people were attacked. One is dead. Many are injured.
Today, the ghouls crawl out on schedule.
They laugh. They celebrate. They joke about corpses and broken bodies. Under their real names, no masks, no shame. Hate has become so normal that they don't even bother hiding it anymore.
Imagine being so morally bankrupt that your idea of humour is a murdered queer person (or an immigrant, a Muslim, etc.)
No. These people didn't appear out of nowhere. They were cultivated. Excused. Platformed. Told they were "just asking questions." Told their bigotry was "a valid opinion."
This is where that road leads.
So don't ask us why we need Pride.
Ask yourselves why so many people have become perfectly comfortable cheering when queer people bleed.
