nutomic is one of the founders of the Lemmy project, so that's probably not going to happen.

The idea that "there is no queer liberation while other groups are still oppressed" is core to the concept of class solidarity.

If an unethical (in the context of enabling oppression of Palestinians) company treats its queer employees with respect, is that really to be celebrated? Is the oppression of Palestinians an acceptable price for that progress? I don't think so.

And as a bisexual, I can confirm that I have never seen anyone as a friend, only prey.

I think it might speak to other parents who are not accepting? Like it shows that someone who also thought like them was open to having their mind changed. They might be more willing to listen to her story.

Update: I found the original article. It's very light on details and only mentions there was a time some years ago where Tamzin struggled with accepting her son's identity. Still, it's nice (to me, anyway) to see a positive development arc.

It's in the Gay Village in Manchester! I can thoroughly recommend going.

I recently visited the statue of him in Sackville Gardens in Manchester. It's good to see him being remembered.

Yeah because they're so consistent in applying what's in the scriptures, right?

It sounds like the council received a veiled threat:

Matlock Town Council said it had received communication that the rainbow flag could be "forcibly removed" from outside Cornerstone Christian Bookshop in Dale Road, so action was taken to relocate the flag to another central location to avoid confrontation or damage.

The council said the decision was "purely from a health and safety standpoint" and it stood in "full support of the LGBTQIA+ community".

Stay classy, Christians 🖕🏻
