So when they learn Malcolm wasn't actually there they are going to resort to transing Stormie instead?

I mean… let them.

Let them say we weren’t there. More proof we aren’t really connected in any way. More reason to separate from the T lol

I was wondering why they hadn’t said this sooner.

If their revisionist crap were true, why are they pushing this brand new copyrighted trans-invasion "progress" flag into all of our spaces? Did the rainbow not include them back then or something? Orwellian nonsense.

Soon they will drop the LGB(t) and just be TTTTQ+

I get that Stonewall was a big event, but it wasn't the start of same-sex activism. Why only put focus on that specific time?

Karl-Maria Kertbeny coined the term "homosexual" (along with a very positive and progressive view of same-sex attraction) in 1869, 100 years before Stonewall. It also happened in Europe, not the U.S.

Why only put focus on that specific time?

It's part of their disordered (not the best term, but bear with me) thinking. Everything is black and white for them. Thus, there must be a single, pivotal start to something, before which there was not that thing, after which there is that thing. For gay rights, that is Stonewall(tm) the First Ever Time(tm) that LGB people fought back. It's the singular point before which was "bad times" and after which are "good times" - full "right-side-of-history"/Whig history bullshit. And thus by inserting the TQ+ into it, it makes them important to that pivotal, critical, formative moment in their thinking.

I'm not sure why they do this, or what causes this specific flawed thinking, but it's a common trend I've seen in a few places.
