From “Pride” website.

A new Pride event is happening in Seattle this month specifically for BIPOC people. Promotional material for event, called Taking B(l)ack Pride, states that while the event will be free for people of color, white people will be charged a “$10 to $50 reparations fee.”

“All are free to attend HOWEVER this is a BLACK AND BROWN QUEER TRANS CENTERED, PRIORITIZED, VALUED, EVENT,” the materials read. “White allies and accomplices are welcome to attend but will be charged a $10 to $50 reparations fee that will be used to keep this event free of cost for BLACK AND BROWN Trans and Queer COMMUNITY.”

I sure wonder why all these white gay men are getting angrier.

@bungabeats We need a new version of the Normie transforming into Hitler meme, only this time it's a stereotypical White gay transforming into Ernst Röhm.

@ChristiJunior @bungabeats
>Ernst Röhm
I didn't know who this guy was. But now after looking it up, I can't believe that this gay Nazi thing isn't a recent phenomenon.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_R%

@xianc78 @bungabeats And Hitler knew about his orientation and was still good friends with the guy, the reason he had Röhm killed wasn't over homosexuality, but the prospect of the SA going rogue and the Germany military leaders (who could at that point had Hitler forcibly removed) pressuring him to "neutralize" Röhm and the SA.

@ChristiJunior @xianc78 There’s also evidence that not only did Hitler know Röhm was gay, but also that he had a partner at the time. Funny, unlike a lot of his fan club, Hitler looked past that Röhm was gay and just was like “this homo is great at his fucking job, promote him!”

When he was killed during the Night of the Long Knives he explicitly asked that if he is to be killed Hitler is the one to do it.

Everything about this man is amazing.

Yeah, people trying to be more Catholic than the Pope (okay, bad example, but imagine the pre-Vatican II Popes) are pretty ridiculous. If the actual, original Nazi movement had room for far-right gays, modern far-right nationalist online communities can too. It doesn't mean you celebrate homosexuality or pull a Dick Cheney on gay marriage, but you recognize that homosexuality isn't a dealbreaker.

@ChristiJunior @bungabeats I still can't imagine myself getting along with someone like Hitler though. I believe I would fuck up at some point and eventually get the bullet.

I also believe that the Japanese were just useful idiots to the Nazis and that the Nazis would have turned against them eventually had the Axis Powers won WWII.

@xianc78 @bungabeats Who knows. What I *do* know is that the way Nazi Germany and Hitler are presented post-WW2 is propaganda so cartoonish that merely portraying Hitler as human is considered controversial and groundbreaking.

@ChristiJunior @xianc78 It’s almost laughable. You mean Hitler had tea with breakfast instead of the blood of children? You can’t publish that!
